Father, we thank You and praise You for Your mercy in giving us a President who honors You, and loves You. We thank You that he is our brother in Christ and that he seeks daily to serve You with his life. We thank You that he comes to You daily in prayer and study of Your word, and we ask tonight that You would bless him for his faithfulness to You. We ask that he might be given a deep spiritual understanding in his study, and that he might hear Your still, small voice as he comes to You in prayer. We ask, dear Lord, that he might be humble before You in all things, and that You would cast the wicked who would destroy his good name and his presidency to the ground. We pray, dearest Lord, that You would bind the Evil One, the Father of all Lies, who is speaking to and through the left and a complicit media, so that the truth of what President Bush stands for; what he has done, and who he is might be clear to the American people.
Father we bathe the upcoming election in prayer, asking Your Spirit to be at work in this nation, that we might once again be a country that honors life, goodness, and righteousness. We ask that in every election, but especially in the presidential election, that the person who honors and lives for You might emerge victorious.
Lord, we pray this evening for our First Lady, Laura, thanking You for her inner beauty and serenity that shine forth in her life. We thank You that she is the kind of wife who honors and loves her husband, and we thank You for their covenant marriage that serves as an example to all of us. We ask that You might bless and protect their family, and that, especially as they all travel this summer and fall that You would keep them safe.
Dear Father, we bring before You the brave members of our U.S. military, thanking You for their sacrifice and their service. We ask for Your divine protection over them, that You might destroy the wicked who would do them harm. We ask, dear Lord, for a swift victory over the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan, and pray especially that the upcoming transition to Iraqi sovereignty might be smooth. Father, we have seen the media and the left try to defeat President Bush through Iraq; we have seen them paint a picture which is entirely negative, at the expense of even the lives of our soldiers. It is so difficult not to be filled with anger and hatred for those whose political ambitions drive out all decency, and concern for those we love, but we are reminded to pray for our enemies, and tonight, dear Lord, I bring before You those Democrats and members of the media who are filled with hatred, that they might come to repentance, and a saving knowledge of YOU, as their Lord and Savior. I pray, dear Lord, that they might be humbled from their arrogant disdain of all that is right and good in this nation, and our President, and that they might bow before You with contrite hearts, even this night.
And finally, dear Lord, we ask that You work in this nation, to bring us to our knees in repentance for our sins, as a nation, and as individuals. We ask for Your cleansing among us, that we might be whiter than snow. We ask that we might be clean vessels for Your work in and among us, and that You might embolden us to proclaim the joy of Your salvation to those in need, both here at home, and abroad. Thank You Lord, that You hear and answer our prayers, and we ask all these things in the name of the Father, the Son, who died as a sacrifice for our sins, and the Holy Spirit, Amen!
Please come and pray with us for him, for his family, for our nation's leaders, for our soldiers, sailors and airmen, and for our nation!
Add another sentence: Please dear Lord, help Mr. Bush to see what a loser the UN is, and to quit pouring our hard earn taxpaying money into a losing organization like the UN.
Thy will be done. In Jesus name,
Amen.
+ Joining you in prayer ...
Our Father in Heaven, we join hands together tonight in Thy Presence to thank Thee for Thy work of grace in our lives, praising Thee for the Gifts and Blessings You have bestowed to us by Thy Holy Spirit, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and we worship Thee as the One True God, our God of Grace, Compassion, Mercy, and Love. We thank Thee, our Father God, for knitting our hearts together in love to pray for our President, the good ruler you have given us, and we lift him to You now, supplicating for his continual preservation of soul and body by Thy Strong Hand, and for his constant growth in the will and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank You, our Sovereign Holy One, for keeping each of his steps, trusting You alone to keep his feet from stumbling as he sojourns through this world of sin and darkness, as his enemies lurk around every corner awaiting their opportunity to fall upon him and destroy him. Uphold him, O God my Great King! Let his enemies fall into their own traps that they have set for him! Let Thy Blessed Holy Spirit bear him away to safety, even as each trap springs beneath his feet! Our Mighty Savior! Bear him away to his Refuge, as his enemies gnash their teeth in their demented madness, enraged at every thwarting of their wicked schemes! Thank You, O Lord our God, for each deliverance You have procured for our President! We also supplicate for the lives of our military; O God our Savior! Thank You for Your Keeping Power, for Your preservation of our troops, for every Blessing You have confered to them. Please send revival to our sinful nation; we repent of our sins, for offending Your Majesty and Your Holiness with the sin in our lives. Be merciful to our land, O Lord, and cause the glorious Light of the Gospel to touch many hearts, for Christ our Savior's sake, and in Who's Name we pray, amen.
