Pray for President Bush - Day 1471
Pray for President Bush ^ | 9/27/04 | kayak

Psalm 31: 13-14

For I hear the slander of many;
there is terror on every side;
they conspire against me
and plot to take my life.

But I trust in you, O LORD ;
I say, "You are my God."

Heavenly Father,

There are no words more joyous and more liberating than "You are my God." While we were yet sinners, You cared enough to send Your Son to walk this earth to show us how to live according to Your will; and then He willingly went to the Cross of Calvary to buy our salvation through His blood. Oh, Lord, such love is incomprehensible! We can only offer our humble gratitude and praise Your name. All praise and glory to You, the Lord God Almighty!

The words of the Psalmist, written so long ago, seem to describe our President today. He is attacked with lies and distortions; he is leading the world in fighting terror; his very life is endangered daily; and yet he continues to call Your name and speak of Your love and grace. Honor his faithfulness, O Lord, with wisdom, patience, persistence, courage, strength, comfort, and peace. Speak to him constantly that he may continue to hear Your voice and follow Your commandments. Watch over Laura and the twins; and let their family grow in faith and trust each day. Keep them safe from all harm.

Father, many in our nation have suffered greatly from the recent hurricanes and floods. As they face the devastation surrounding them, let them feel Your love and Your peace and the hope that comes only from You. Continue to bring comfort to the families who have suffered at the hands of the terrorists.

Our military remain in harm's way in lands far away, fighting an enemy who lurks in darkness. Be their Shield and their Defender and keep their families nestled under the shadow of Your wings.

Father, we are constantly appalled at the bitterness and invective of this campaign; the willingness of some to deceive and lie to gain political advantage. We cry out to You that Your will be done! We plead with You to shine Your light on our nation and reveal truth. We entreat You to revive our nation's soul, restoring in America a reverence for life; a desire for morality; and obedience to You. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

AMEN! Hallelujah! You are my God and I thank you for sending Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ---the most precious gift ever given to humankind. And all we need to do is accept the gift! How excellent is Your Mighty Name, Precious Lord. Thank You, Father, in the Name of the Savior. Amen.

Psalm 31:13
For I hear the slander of many;

In David's case the accusing voices were loud enough to break in upon his quiet—foul mouths had grown so bold, that they poured forth their falsehoods in the presence of their victim. Shimei was but one of a class, and his cry of "Go up, thou bloody man, "was but the common speech of thousands of the sons of Belial. All Beelzebub's pack of hounds may be in full cry against a man, and yet he may be the Lord's anointed.(C.H. Spurgeon) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Father, Spurgeon wrote those annotations 100 years ago. He referred to the ordeal David, certainly David had his own experiences in mind. The verse may also be prophetic to the ministry of our Lord. Yet, Father, how applicable this verse is to our President. He is reviled throughout this country and around the world for doing those things which are right and true. He is slandered during newscasts, in books, through speeches, during ungodly demonstrations, in universities, and in daily conversations. President Bush is hatefully maligned by the impious millions in this country and throughout the world. His life would be crushed if it were not for You.

Thank you, Father, for granting him prosperity. Please grant him rousing success as he enters the arena of political debate. Grant him, and those who uphold the"Judeo-Christian ethic" in public policy matters a great triumph this November.

Thank you for those like kayak, OhioWfan, and Faith who maintain this thread and honor Thee with their faithfulness and eloquence.

Thank you for the capture of the terrorist who killed Daniel Pearl. Please bless with success those who are hunting down Osama, Al-Qaeda, and the terrorists in Iraq.

In Christ's Name

"Blessed is he whose help is in the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them - the Lord, who remains faithful forever. -PsaLM 146:5-6"

Our most gracious and kind Heavenly Father, Lord how we thank you for the blessings of this day. Dear Father, we thank you for President Bush who lives your word. He knows you are his Lord and Savior and he is not ashamed of the Gospel of God.

Dear Father, we continue to pray for the military men and women who are fighting our war for peace. We acknowledge they are making great sacrifices for us, and we pray they will stay safe and out of harms way. We especially pray for their families who are surely missing them. Dear Father, just let them know how much we love them also.

We also pray for all of the people who were left homeless during the hurricanes. We pray for their safety and that they will be able to restore their lives soon.

We ask these blessings in Your Son's Precious Name, Amen.

AMEN KAYAK AND AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN!

Jer 23:29 "Is not My word like a fire?" says the LORD, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
(NKJV)


Ps 12:1 To the Chief Musician. On an eight-stringed harp. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases! For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
2 They speak idly everyone with his neighbor; With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 Who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own; Who is lord over us?"
5 "For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise," says the LORD; "I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."
6 The words of the LORD are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O LORD, You shall preserve them from this generation forever.
8 The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
(NKJV}

Dear Lord,
thankyou for this time Your saints can gather at the foot of Your throne of grace.
Lord,we pray for all of Your saints and especially for george walker bush,laura bush,their family and the executive branch.
Lord,as we look forward to november 2nd,we pray,if it is Your will that our president will be re-elected and in so doing,turn this nation away from the liberal mind-set and become focused on Your kingdom plan.
Lord,we pray for all of the defenders of freedom,may they be safe in Your hands.



"The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men."
- Psalm 33:13



Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than
when he is spoken of as stooping from his throne, and coming down from
heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We love
him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniquity, would not destroy
those cities until he had made a personal visitation of them. We cannot
help pouring out our heart in affection for our Lord who inclines his ear
from the highest glory, and puts it to the lip of the dying sinner, whose
failing heart longs after reconciliation. How can we but love him when we
know that he numbers the very hairs of our heads, marks our path, and
orders our ways? Specially is this great truth brought near to our heart,
when we recollect how attentive he is, not merely to the temporal
interests of his creatures, but to their spiritual concerns. Though
leagues of distance lie between the finite creature and the infinite
Creator, yet there are links uniting both. When a tear is wept by thee,
think not that God doth not behold; for, "Like as a father pitieth his
children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him." Thy sigh is able to
move the heart of Jehovah; thy whisper can incline his ear unto thee; thy
prayer can stay his hand; thy faith can move his arm. Think not that God
sits on high taking no account of thee.
Remember that however poor and needy thou art, yet the Lord thinketh upon
thee.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to
show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards
him.


Oh! then repeat the truth that never tires;
No God is like the God my soul desires;
He at whose voice heaven trembles, even he,
Great as he is, knows how to stoop to me.

C.H SPURGEON


SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Amen, kayak.

Lord, please shed Your mercies on the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Protect and bless our troops. Give aid to the people ravaged by this storm season.

Be with the president as he seeks to do what is right. Give him the words fitly spoken to clarify the current political situation. Strengthen the hearts of those who sag under the weight of our difficulties.

We pray for life for our enemies, but ask that You cause those who insist on trusting in lies and the deceptive power of their velvet tongues lose their cause. And let their defeat be a purging for our nation, that we would get beyond the current stalemate, too long running.

I ask for grace and truth to cut through the racial demagoguery the Democrats are using in Florida and around the nation. It is dispicable that they are raising unfounded fears of disenfranchisement in order to get out their vote. In doing so, they sow seeds of deep civil disharmony. They are poor stewards of the national interest. My prayer is that the people will see through the charade and repudiate them. The Black people in particular are in need of a second liberation, Lord, this one political. And the basis of the liberation will be, as it always is, the promulgation of truth.

We ask that you do this. And forgive us of any racial sins we might harbor. Let their be harmony among the various groups with good will.

Help Your persecuted throughout the earth. Show Your might hand of power to those who wait on You. Comfort the hurting. Be manifest in our midst, to heal and to save. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

This has a very special meaning for me; thank you for posting Spurgeon regularly, that many souls may be blessed, dear brother Alpha.

"May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever Amen."

We humbly pray for our President Bush...Bestow upon him Integrity, Courage and Patience as he seeks to inform the nation of his plans for the future. It may be that some will not agree, but we petition the Holy Spirit to open eyes and ears that the citizens cast their votes in a responsible way. To say that one hates either,or a candidate is the evil one's playground. Hate, be set aside for its results are disastrous..Jesus, forgive our transgressions for it is truly You we seek, this fleeting power some are given are but detours on our life's journey. Bless us all...In Jesus' name we pray

Amen, ejo, it is by our love that we are known by the world. We forgive as God, in Christ, has forgiven us. It is the greatest commandment.

I am asking that we all start to pray for President Bush and the debates.

Dear Lord:

I thank You for Your unconditional Love. I thank You for all the blessing You bestrow on our country. I praise You and Thank You for each day of good health and ability You give me to work and to walk with You.

Lord I ask You Bless President Bush, I ask You be with him and protect him and his health. I pray You will speak through him during the Debates. I pray that the enemy will be bound up and have no place in our Goverment. I pray for the media that they will be fair and honest and not hold their agenda out for the public to see. I ask that You give President Bush a calmness and Your arms wrapped around him and that President Bush be well spoken and his determination and leadership be evident to those who will see him. I pray for our enemies that are out to devour and destroy our way of life. I pray for peace in Iraq. I pray if bin laden is still alive that we find him and his top aids that we will be the victor in that country and You will get all the praise for what is to happen. Lord we love You, we Adore You and we give You all the credit.
In the name of Jesus I ask and pray these things.
