Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank You for the past 8 years of Your faithfulness to us as we have labored in prayer for our dear President, his family, our troops, and this nation. Lord, we have been through many ups and downs these years. We have seen tragedy unlike any Presidency and we have seen triumph as well. Though the enemies of the President and this nation will not acknowledge it, we acknowledge that You have been with us and have been our helper in the storm and in the times of peace, and for that we are eternally grateful.
Lord, as we have so many times before, we lift up to You President Bush and Laura. They have been good warriors for this land. Though we may have disagreed with his policies a time or two, overall, we have witnessed a man of great character whom history will ultimately judge favorably. I can think of nobody else at the time of his election that would have been better for the part. Surely, President Bush was here for such a time as this.
Lord, as we see the administration winding down, we nevertheless see the politicians frothing with this charge or that charge about the current economic situation. Lord, let the American people see and embrace the truth, is all we ask here. You will carry us through, we know, even in a depression. But we would that You would let the truth prevail over lying tongues and opportunistic spirits.
I pray for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. Keep them safe, Lord. Let their hearts be aligned with Yours in all matters. Let their souls cling to You and may they know You now as never before. Lord, may Your presence go with them and may they prevail over those who would destroy them.
Watch over us Lord. Our nation’s fate is in the balance, but as the verse says - our hope is in You.
We love You, Lord. And once again, thank You for all You are and for all You do.
For it is in the blessed name of Christ Jesus my Lord that I pray these things.
Amen.
“...our hope is in You.”
and Amen.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration, McCain, Palin and all our heroes in harm’s way!
Amen. Thank you for your prayer.

In 2004, Casey Fenton co-founded a nonprofit service that helps travelers find a “friendlier alternative” to unfriendly hotels. They find homeowners who are willing to offer their spare beds and couches to others.
The group boasts almost a quarter of a million friendships that have been formed from their service. “The more we network,” said Fenton, “the better chance we have of this world being a better place.”
That service sounds a lot like biblical hospitality. In the final pages of his letter to the Hebrews, the writer instructed believers to practice their faith in Jesus Christ through hospitality (13:2). That was defined by the early Christ-followers as acts of generosity toward strangers.
In the first century, hospitality often included housing a guest. This was hardest to do during a time of persecution. These believers would not know whether the person was a spy or a fellow believer being pursued. But by entertaining strangers, the writer said, they could indeed be inviting a blessing into their homes.
As God’s people, we are called to be hospitable to others as part of our gratitude for the salvation we have received from God.
Thank you Lord, for this day, for all of it’s blessings, and please help us thru any tribulations that might happen. Please be with President George W. Bush, Sen. John S. McCain, and Gov. Sarah Palin, protect them from those who mean to harm them physically,or mentally. Protect them from those who wish to destroy their good reputations. I ask, that you surround them with your Love this day, and be with their families, and watch over them.
Thank you for our Troops be with them, protect them and their families. Thank you for the blessings of Liberty.
Amen.
