Thank You that Your way is perfect and Your Word is tried. Thank You for being a buckler to all those who trust in You. Thank You that in Your everlasting covenant with us, You have promised not to turn away from us, but to do us good; and You will put Your fear in our hearts, that we may not depart from You. Thank You, Father, that You work all things together for good to them who love You, to them who are the called accord to Your purpose.
Father, we ask Your blessing upon President and Mrs. Bush today. We ask that You would fill their hearts with new love and appreciation for You and for each other. Guide them in every battle. Grant them the peace that passes all understanding. Help them to be still and know that You are God. We praise You for the strength You continue to provide our President as he tackles the challenges that have been placed at his feet. Build him into a spiritual house, that he may be acceptable and pleasing unto You.
Defend America and our men and women who are fighting for us, Lord. Shield them from the deception and stealth of the enemy. Defend us from those who seek to destroy innocent lives in the name of purging the world of those who do not believe or live as they do. Father, rise up and let Your enemies be scattered! We ask You to cover the hostages with Your protection and help them to be set free.
Fill our hearts with the desire to pray, Lord. How great is our need for Your hand upon this nation! How great is our need for Your touch in our personal lives! Help us to rebuild the altars of the churches of this nation, Lord, just as Elijah did on Mount Carmel. Let our tears of confession and repentance be used to grow seeds of revival in America. Come to us in a mighty way, Emmanuel, God with us. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
