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.
