Dearest Heavenly Father, we do love You, and we need You to be our strength and our shield. We need You to be a rock in times of storm. Sometimes, dear Lord, we are overwhelmed by the attacks of our enemies, and we cry out to You to be our deliverer.

We call out to You today, dear Lord, to deliver our President, George W. Bush from the lies of the Enemy. We confess our frustration because of our finite minds and human frailty, and our need to be totally dependent on You as our stronghold during the coming months. Lord, we have seen in our President and First Lady a peace that helps us to see that You are dwelling in them, and that they can feel Your presence. We ask that You protect these dear servants of Yours from the attacks of their enemies. We ask that the lies that are coming from the Father of all Lies through the Democrat leaders and the media be silenced, and that the people of America would see the truth beyond the lies.

Father, we ask that President Bush continue to depend wholly upon You for his strength, and lean not on his own understanding, but continue to trust in You with his whole heart. We ask that You give him wisdom that goes far beyond human understanding to deal with every problem and decision he must make, both in foreign and domestic policy. Guide his every step, and give him the strength he needs in the coming days.

Dear Father, we continue to bring before You our troops as they serve this country in the cause of freedom throughout the world. Keep them safe, Lord, and grant them both courage and peace in their service. Bring them home safely to their families, we pray.

We continue as well to pray for revival in this land. We ask that Your people would be on our knees in constant prayer for the spiritual well being of America, and that we might be bold in sharing our love for You. Help us to be a sweet fragrance to a world in need. Forgive us our sins as a nation, and as individuals, and bring us to the foot of the cross, where Jesus, Your only Son sacrificed His life for us. And it is in His name that we pray, Amen!

Lord, Please help us remember You are sovereign. You have called us to do what is right, and we are not to faint. Help us in our moments of despair and discouragement. Elijah thought he was standing alone, and you reminded him of all the rest who trusted in You. Help us to stand strong and not be afraid, no matter the circumstance.

Give our President courage, and make his enemies stumble. So many want our President to fail: evil men in Iraq, evil men here at home, and even some well-meaning but confused voters. No matter their intention or motivation, Lord, we pray for Your hand to be upon George W. Bush today and throughout the campaign. Please help him to continue freeing the oppressed, speaking out for the unborn, and opening the gates of liberty. He is Your servant, and may he never forget the same.

Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Father, I pray that this election would turn on issues of truth. I pray that those who rely upon lies, spin, and deceit will find that those tools of their political trade have lost their effectiveness. I pray that this election will be a turning point for this nation in terms of our political environment, that from this election forward, politicians would be afraid of basing their campaigns on falsehood. I pray that You will grant the vast majority of voters in this nation the ability to distinguish truth from lies, and that they would overwhelmingly reject deceit.

May truth, decency, character, and courage decide the campaigns that are now under way.

Amen.

In agreement with every word of your lovely prayer, dear Ohio!

Our Father and our God, we are gathering before You in wonder and humility, reverently laying our petitions at Thy feet, expectantly looking to Thee as our Gracious Source and Powerful Provider. Nothing is too hard for You, Great God; in Your Omnipotence, You know All, and with Your Glorious Power all things are indeed possible. We bow our heads, Holy One, and wait on Thee, lifting our hands and our hearts to our God, our Faithful God, Lord of Heaven, earth, and All Eternity.

Our President is ever on our minds, Sovereign Lord, as we behold the daily assaults upon your devoted servant, as we watch his enemies, bereft of all reason, lunge at him time and time again, trying with the power of hell at their disposal to knock him from the Sure Foundation on which he unwaveringly stands. They think, "Just one more assault; just one more, and he will fall from his Rock, down into the abyss, and we will WIN, and where will his God be then?" O God our Savior, we are somber, and yet awed, as we look upon this spectacle day after day, month after month, our brother, miraculously, impossibly, still standing upon his feet; it is as though he dangles over a chasm by the thinnest of strings, but it is NOT a string, my Sovereign Holy One; it only appears so to observing human eyes! My brother is clasped tightly in the Omnipotent Grip of the Almighty God of All Creation, and the only 'string' is the cord of Eternal Love with which You have bound him to You forever! Thank You, our King, for helping us to realize that You Alone control all things, not our President's desperate enemies! Thank You, Loving Master, for calming our hearts, and for renewing our strength during this time of worship before our God of All Comfort, our Prince of Peace, our Banisher of the anxieties of our hearts!

Send us forth, Great Ruler of Creation, with fresh supplies of Inner Courage, Fortitude, and the Never-Tiring Strength of Thy Blessed Holy Spirit, as we leave this place of Succor to once more enter the Battle, clothed in the Armorments of the Almighty God of Eternity and Time! We worship You, our Royal Master, our Commander-in-Chief of Heaven's Armies, our King of Creation, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! To You be all Glory, all Honor and Power, all Worship and Praise, both now, and forevermore, throughout the Ages of the Ages of Eternity, YOU ARE GOD! We pray, and we praise You, in the Name of His Majesty, the KING, Jesus Christ, amen.

Amen, ohio.


Lord, the battle rages even in this early stage. This election is crucial to the future, not only of America, but of the world. America's unprecedented role as lone world superpower makes it so. Much is at stake.

We can ill afford to install an administration that is at odds with your will at this juncture. Domestic and global issues are so critical that a mistake at this point would be disastrous.

Neither can we afford to elect persons of low moral caliber. We need a person of integrity to lead through difficult times and to inspire. A demoralizing administration would be a disaster for the country and the younger generations in particular.

Father God, it appears that one of the politicians seeking high office has a very fundamental problem telling the truth. We ask that the truth will out, in time, despite all efforts to suppress it. A brave company of war veterans has stepped forward, at great personal inconvenience, to tell the truth as they know it. We ask your protection on them and your encouragement as a biased media sends withering attacks their way. Truth is the ultimate issue upon which this election should turn, so we are glad that this encounter has occurred; it is a sign that we are on the right path. We pray that you see this through to great effect. Too long has this nation been torn by its war in Vietnam, and it becomes increasingly clear that self-serving politicians have all along mined our wounds for their own aggrandizement. It is time, dear Lord, to put these people down in shame and heal America.

We again pray for the upcoming convention. It is important that the nation review where we have been these last three historic years and that we outline a vision for where we are going. How will the war on terrorism be conducted? What can we expect of civil liberties domestically? The nation needs to hear clear directions on these and other issues. Therefore we ask that you guide the organizers and participants to bring forth what you would have. Put down negative elements from within which attempt to thwart your message. Call the media to account for their bias; let America with one voice demand greater professionalism of them.

We ask your blessing on lesser races as well. There are extremely important Senate races that must be won. This election could be a turning point for a political and cultural return to godly values. We pray it will be so. Send revival, O Lord, to every sphere of our lives.

Please continue to be with our troops, with the nations in the valley of decision, and with your persecuted throughout the world. Bind up the wounded; comfort the brokenhearted. Bless all who come here to pray. May you be manifest among us, for your glory's sake, amen.

Heavenly Father, we continue to lift up President Bush to you. He is your child and You are His Heavenly Father. I pray that he will keep trusting and depending on you. I continue to ask your Holy Spirit to wake up Christians to intercede in prayer for our President.

He has many enemies and we know you work in powerful mighty ways when there doesn't seem a way. I pray that you will give him wisdom and knowledge on how to deal with the terrorists who want to take down this country and this President. Give him supernatural wisdom and give his staff and the people around him the same.

I pray for his presidential campaign. Continue to guide it with wisdom and we want to see you glorified. I pray that the attacks from evil people will have no impact on our President and they will only hurt the attackers. We pray that "Truth" will come through during this campaign and that Americans that do not know the truth will start to find out about it.

You are an Almighty God who works in great ways. Help the President to solely depend on You. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

With the evils and uncertainties that surround us this year, three principles must be kept in mind. First, everything that happens has been foreseen by God from all eternity, and has been willed or at least permitted by Him.

Secondly, nothing can be willed or permitted by God that does not contribute to the end He purposed in creating, which is the manifestation of his goodness.

And thirdly, as told by Saint Paul, "We know that to them that love God, all things work together unto good."

Everyday I thank God for President GWBush. EVeryday I thank God for the reelection of GWBush. May all our prayers and fastings be lifted up to God for the hopes of peace, and the continued presence of God in our lives. It is only thru prayers that the goodness of God will be found in all.

I join you all in praying without ceasing for the righting of our country with God and may President Bush continue to be the steward chosen by God to guide us during these troubled times.
