Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone.
Do not take revenge my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
”It is mine to avenge. I will repay, says the Lord.
On the contrary:
If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12: 17 – 21

Dear Heavenly Father, we come again to You this day, in the middle of this Holiest of weeks to worship and adore You, and to bring our prayers of praise and petition before You. We thank You for Your unfailing love that caused You to send Your beloved Son, Jesus, to die in our place in order to provide redemption for our sins. We praise You as Creator and Sustainer, Mighty King and Sovereign Lord, and we bow down before You in humility and awe that You have promised to hear and answer our prayers.

We lift up our brother in Christ, George W. Bush to You today, thanking You for the witness of Your love he continues to provide and for the example of repaying good for evil, day after day. We confess that sometimes we wish that he would lash out and give his enemies what they ‘deserve’…..but then we are reminded that vengeance belongs to You, and You alone, and You will repay. We ask that President Bush might be in constant prayer, seeking wise counsel, and in daily study of Your word. Help his thoughts to be Your thoughts, and his heart to be Your heart. Grant him wisdom and discernment in the difficult decisions he must make, and keep him humble before You, knowing that You alone must receive all the glory.

Father, we continue to remember the many members of our military who are serving in harm’s way far from family and home, and we ask that You would make Your presence felt among them. Grant them Your protection and the wisdom to seek out and have victory over the evil enemy that they fight. Give them comfort and peace in the absence of loved ones, and give their families that same comfort that You are indeed with them. We ask that Your hand of healing would be upon those who have been wounded in battle, and especially pray that You would wrap Your loving arms around those who have lost loved ones and give them peace.

We pray for this nation, O Lord, asking for Your cleansing of this land. We pray that You will prod the remnant of Your people here among us to more fervent prayer, and more loving deeds. We pray that we might spread the sweet fragrance of Your love to others who need to know of it, and as we approach the day when we remember Your sacrifice and suffering on the cross, help us to take up our cross and follow You. In the precious Name of the Lamb of God we pray, Amen!

Lord, indeed, let all our leaders rise to stand firm against evil within and without, may they serve to purge evil from the land, may all Your people do likewise, so that You may again bless America, amen.

It moved me to tears....

Agreeing with you in prayer.

Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only One
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow

Blue is the color of a heart so cold
It will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus' face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold

Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely on every one
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of love that calms the storm
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
And there's just one God, and there's just one Man
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow

That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow
The Coloring Song; Dave Eden

Amen.

Father, we know whom we have believed, and are convinced that You are able to guard what we have entrusted to You. And so, we are not ashamed. We commit to staying strong in faith keeping our eyes alone on Jesus, the One on whose shoulders the government rests.

As we have prayed in obedience to Your Word, we thank You for keeping our President, protecting our troops and releasing Your Spirit to convict concerning righteousness.

It is an awesome thing to gather with other believers through Your Spirit in harmonious agreement, and we rejoice in how big You and Your lovingkindness are. We love You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
