LORD, bring others into our midst so that YOUR light can shine on a world of darkness!
Tonight I heard two European journalists on television explaining why President Bush is hated in Europe. Their explanation was that many Europeans are offended by his mentioning his faith.
Lord, You have promised us that You will honor those who honor You. Through all the troubles of the past few years, through all the attacks, the mocking, and the hatred pouring forth, the President has honored You in public and in his private life. I claim Your promise for President Bush, and call on You to intervene between the President and his enemies. Protect him and encourage him through this difficult time.
Look after his wife, Laura, his daughters Barbara and Jenna, and his parents and siblings as well.We know that they are under constant threat of attack. Confound those who would do them harm.
Lord, I pray for our military as well. Many are unable to read their hometown papers because of the level of hatred for their Commander in Chief. Encourage them in their righteous mission, and protect them from harm.
Signally Lord, I pray for this nation. We have those in the press, in the entertainment industry, and in academia who actively work against this nation. Humble those whose words are vitriolic. Soften their hearts and show them Truth. Let the people of this nation turn towards You and way from those who trade in lies and hatred.
Thank You Lord, for Your love and care for us, and most of all, for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, in whose name I pray.
Amen.
