Ephesians 4:7
But unto every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
You are the Lord of our life and the God of our salvation. Only You are the God of our peace and the hope of America. We humbly ask that You would hear and receive our prayers this day for our President and this nation.
We need You to restore our consciences, Father. So much rationalization has taken place about the need for tolerance and for the acceptance of every type of behavior. We know that the devil loves to blur our vision so that the line between right and wrong becomes increasingly fuzzy. We know he works in our government to enable our judges and legislators to legally endorse sins, such as abortion, and to disguise them as rights and choices to which free people are entitled. Father, forgive us for allowing liberal politicians, homosexuals, feminists, and abortionists to destroy the idea of the traditional family. Please come into the heart of every American and clean house! Please scrub down our legislators and our judges, Lord! Purge us of the lies! Purge us of our self-centeredness! Purge us of every stronghold we have allowed the devil to obtain.
Draw us back to prayer, Dearest Lord. Let us find the sweet communion of spending time in Your presence. Teach us to seek Your will in all our circumstances, but let us never cease to cast every burden upon You, for You will sustain us. We know, Father, that there is no problem too great to be given You, nor none too small.
May our President Bush be given everything he needs to be the leader You want him to be. Enable him to have the courage of Daniel, the wisdom of Solomon, the faith of David, the faithfulness of Paul, the forgiveness of Joseph, and the love of his Savior, Jesus Christ. Help him to walk toward You each day and let him never take his eyes off the cross. We pray for strength in leadership for the men and women of our military. Protect them with Your righteous right hand and remove all obstacles that stand in the way of complete victory and freedom for the Iraqis.
Make each of us useful to You, Lord, as You help us to be messengers of Your peace. Fill our hearts with the desire to please You and You alone. In the Name above all names, Jesus Christ, our Savior and King, Amen.
Please join us in prayer.
Amen to your beautiful prayer, Faith. God bless America and God bless George Bush.
Many thanks for praying along with us today. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Amen.
Pr 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.
I cry out for righteousness in every level of government and throughout the Church. I seek Your face on behalf of the United States. I cry out for leaders who have overcome sin and who are champions for justice and righteousness.
I speak this great prayer over the USA today:
1Chron. 7:14 “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 I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Heal our land, Father - forgive us for our complacency. Teach us Your ways and help us to bring glory to Your name throughout the earth. We long for Your wonderful name to be exalted. May unbelievers hear the truth tomorrow throughout the Churches of the USA, and also for the entire week. Draw thousands of hungry hearts into Your Kingdom.
Uphold our President and his family. Strengthen them in faith and may Your joy be in their home. Use George Bush to minister Your justice and grace in the earth. Crown him with Your glory and honor.
I bless Your holy name. Be exalted above the heavens and may Your glory be in all the earth!
Amen

Psalms 42:1
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God.
Psalms 42:2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?
Psalms 42:3
My tears have been my food day and night, While they continually say to me, “Where is your God?”
Psalms 42:4
When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
Psalms 42:5
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him For the help of His countenance.
Psalms 42:6
O my God, my soul is cast down within me; Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan, And from the heights of Hermon, From the Hill Mizar.
Psalms 42:7
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
Psalms 42:8
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me-A prayer to the God of my life.
Psalms 42:9
I will say to God my Rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
Psalms 42:10
As with a breaking of my bones, My enemies reproach me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”
Psalms 42:11
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.
(NKJV)
“Why go I mourning?”
- Psalm 42:9
Canst thou answer this, believer? Canst thou find any reason why thou art
so often mourning instead of rejoicing? Why yield to gloomy anticipations?
Who told thee that the night would never end in day? Who told thee that
the sea of circumstances would ebb out till there should be nothing left
but long leagues of the mud of horrible poverty? Who told thee that the
winter of thy discontent would proceed from frost to frost, from snow, and
ice, and hail, to deeper snow, and yet more heavy tempest of despair?
Knowest thou not that day follows night, that flood comes after ebb, that
spring and summer succeed winter? Hope thou then! Hope thou ever! For God
fails thee not. Dost thou not know that thy God loves thee in the midst of
all this? Mountains, when in darkness hidden, are as real as in day, and
God’s love is as true to thee now as it was in thy brightest moments. No
father chastens always: thy Lord hates the rod as much as thou dost; he
only cares to use it for that reason which should make thee willing to
receive it, namely, that it works thy lasting good. Thou shalt yet climb
Jacob’s ladder with the angels, and behold him who sits at the top of
it-thy covenant God. Thou shalt yet, amidst the splendours of eternity,
forget the trials of time, or only remember them to bless the God who led
thee through them, and wrought thy lasting good by them. Come, sing in the
midst of tribulation.
Rejoice even while passing through the furnace.
Make the wilderness to blossom like the rose! Cause the desert to ring
with thine exulting joys, for these light afflictions will soon be over,
and then “for ever with the Lord,” thy bliss shall never wane.
“Faint not nor fear, his arms are near,
He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe and thou shalt see,
That Christ is all in all to thee.”
C.H.SPURGEON
