II Timothy 1: 3
I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience,
that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee
in my prayers night and day.
We come to You today as children of Your love, and we pray that You would help us to hear Your voice above all the noise and din in our lives. Descend unto us, Holy Spirit, like a dove, and come into our hearts, that we may be as one with You. Help us to be still and know that You are God. May Your Name and Your holiness be exalted above all the earth.
Lord, we know that we do not call on You in vain, for You love to hear the prayers of Your children. We pray that our President would strive to please You, Lord, fulfilling the purpose that You have for his life. Thank You for all his successes, Father. Continue to guide him, and let him never lose his way. Fill him with Your wisdom and discernment so that he knows how to respond as you desire. Please help him to know how to continue to influence this nation through his example. We rejoice that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Fight every battle for him, Lord, and let him emerge victorious as he allows You to work in his life.
May Your face never cease to shine upon our faithful military men and women, protecting and defending them. Cover our troops with a wonderful blanket of love this weekend, Lord, and help them to know that You are with them. We pray that messages of love and appreciation would be delivered to them so that they know the American people support their efforts. Please continue to bring success to our war effort, and make a path for the Gospel to be brought to all of the Middle East, Lord. We ask You to bring the light of Jesus Christ to the lost in America as well.
Father, you gave Your only begotten Son to die for us, and we pray that none would go to the grave without accepting Him as their Saviour. Help us to share the wonderful news of the Gospel in any way we can, Lord, and may our nation return to You in a mighty way. We love You because You first loved us. These petitions we lay before You in the powerful and majestic Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Please join us in prayer.

READ: Ephesians 3:14–4:3
That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. —Ephesians 3:16

Dana and Rich went out for an afternoon bike ride expecting to come home refreshed. Instead, their lives were changed forever. As Rich rode down a hill, he lost control of his bike and crashed. His body was mangled, and he barely made it to the hospital alive.
Dana faithfully kept vigil by her husband’s side. He couldn’t feed himself, and he couldn’t walk. One day, as the two of them sat under a shade tree outside the hospital, Rich turned to his wife and said, “Dana, I don’t know if I’ll ever walk again, but I’m learning to walk closer to Jesus, and that’s what I really want.” Instead of shaking his fist at God, Rich reached out and grabbed His hand.
Sometimes in the midst of our trials, we need to think about someone like Rich to help us adjust our perspective—to remind us of the remarkable relationship we have with God through Jesus Christ. This is the relationship we need most when the going gets the toughest.
We are not equipped to handle all the problems we face, but God is. That’s why He told us to give them all to Him—to “cast your burden on the Lord” (Ps. 55:22). As Rich found out, walking with Jesus doesn’t depend on our legs. It depends on our heart.
Beautiful message today, Mayor. Thank you for sharing it with us. God bless.
Wonderful prayers today.
Please, all join in prayer for GWB.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration and our heroes standing in harm’s way.
Amen.
Amen, Faith. We hold our President in our hearts night and day and praise God for the work He is surely doing in his life.
Beautiful. Reminds me of a verse from an old hymn:
“Take His hand
Take His nail scarred hand
Let Him show you the way...”
Amen
Amen.
O Lord, even the Heavens Shall Prise Thy Wondrous Works! (Ps.89:5)
O Lord of Hosts, Blessed is the Man that Trusteth in Thee. (Ps.84:12)
God Bless and Amen!!!
Amen to your thoughtful prayer, Faith. May God bless George Bush. May He keep reminding the President that we think of him during our daily prayers.
