[Knitting A Conundrum]

Tomorrow I fast and pray as much as possible.

O Lord,
into your hands
I commend my nation,
all those working for the culture of life,
all those working for love of you,
all those who know there is a true right
and a real wrong,
I commend my president
and the election he is undergoing.

Lord, if you want the cause of life to prevail,
if you want the light to shine here in America,
be with us, we who love you,
fill our hearts with your spirit,
and use us to renew the face of the earth.

Amen.

I posted this on an earlier prayer thread today:

Our Heavenly Father, may Your will be done Tuesday. If it's not what we pray for, please give us the wisdom to understand, as we know your plan is perfect and You make no mistakes.

Said a Rosary (which I haven't done for a long time, unfortunately) for President Bush.

A sense of calmness and peace came over me.

There are prayer threads all over Free Republic. I am encouraged by all who pray here. We must remember, Luke 1:37, "For nothing will be impossible with God."

[Joann37]

I am praying the prayer you composed, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all Names.

And thank you for posting this thread. We need EVERYONE to pray and fast.

I'm in, and have been praying for weeks....tommorrow we join all of you in the prayer of agreement.

I understand the importance of pray and understand that believers do fast, but why? How does it help? Is it denying self or does it help with praying ?

God give this nation what we need (Bush), not what we deserve (Kerry).

Dear Lord, In the Old Testament, the people asked for a king until you gave them one even though you did not desire that the people have one.

The people of Isreal went through many kings both good and bad. The heart of the king was determined by the hearts of the people. Lord, we know that there are wicked, sinful people here in America that desire to attack your Word that you have given to us. We ask that you would bind these people on Tuesday from affecting the outcome of the election.

We thank you Lord for the man of God that you provided to us these last four years. In Romans it tells us that our leaders are to act as ministers of God. We ask your guidance and protection on this humble servant, George W. Bush.

May you grant us his leadership for another four years. My your face continue to shine upon him as long as he turns his face towards you. May he continue to find his wisdom despite the personal attacks in your Word to him.

In the holy name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.

I used to pray that God's will would be done regarding this election. Then it occurred to me that God's will is evident regarding abortion and many other contrasts between the two candidates. Now I pray that Dubya will win by as large a margin as possible. It may sound obvious, but don't just fast and pray. Put some legs on your prayer and vote, and do whatever you can to see to it that the president's supporters vote.

LORD, please watch over President Bush and his family. Protect them, guide them and bless them. Everything else is secondary.

[Twinkie]

- - - and I pray His will to be President Bush
re-elected!

Fasted one meal today and will do so tomorrow.

Fervent prayers that our nation and civilization be the first concern of our Lord.

Father, Your Word says 'If My people who are called by my Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.' I bow with the rest of Your Children asking You to forgive us, The Church, for being so weak and so silent for so long and allowing all the wickedness we face today to get such a foothold in our society. We offer up no excuses Father, as we all know Your Word and we are without excuse for not standing up for Your ways. You directed us to preach Your Word to all the world and yet many of us have not even witnessed to our neighbors. We, the Bride of Christ, are far from spotless and without wrinkle but we come to You, our Father and ask that You would, by Your power and might, raise us up once again to stand as a light on a hill. We do not deserve what we ask of You, but we come trusting in Your Love and Mercy. This land we call America was built on Your Word and You have Blessed America so much and yet we have failed You. Forgive us Father and change our hearts and minds that we may once again live soley for You. We ask You,Father, to grant us another 4 years under our President Bush and that in that 4 years and under his leadership, this nation may see a revival and become the America that will Bless You. We ask it all in the Name of Jesus. Amen
