'O Lord, we Love to Do Your Will; our Heart's Desire is to Glorify Your Name.' (Is.26:8) Our Good and Kind God, You are our Joy and our Strength. We will Trust in You Always, through Your Enabling Grace. In these Days of Stress and Trial, we Rest in Your Beautiful Name. 'Our Soul Waiteth for the Lord: for He is our Help and our Shield.' (Ps.33:20)
Your Highness, we Need Thee; we Need Thy Heaven-Sent Touch. The Battle for America Rages, and You, Jesus, are our Only Hope. Thine Enemies Seek to Pull Every Last Remembrance of Thee from our Lives. Their Resentment at America's Christian Roots has Driven our Enemies Mad. Save us, our God; Hold Back the Tide of Darkness and Sin. Forgive us, Your Excellency; Please Renew our Iniquity-Filled Land. May the Electorate be Touched from On High to Do what is Good, what is Right. May Thy Mercies Fall from Heaven, and Lead us to Godliness Again.
Our Shepherd, we Ask for Blessings for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. Thank You that You are their Refuge from these Storms. Thank You for Keeping them Safe from their Virulent Foes. May they be Set On High, and their Enemies Cast to the Winds.
Our Loving Savior, we Ask for Good Gifts for George W. Bush. May Your Servant Dwell in Your Favor, Mercies, and Love. Please Grant Vindication, Lord, for this Kind and Caring Man. May You be Honored and Glorified Everyday throughout his Life.
Thank You for our Courageous Troops, Mighty God. Please Help Every Man to Place his Trust in Jesus Christ. Look Down from Heaven in Love Upon them, and Keep them Protected and Safe.
Our Master, Please Grant us Victory in the War for America's Soul. For the Sake of our Founders, for the Sake of their Prayers, Rescue us, Deliver us, O Lord. May All the Voter Fraud be Found Out and Thwarted, Almighty King. Come, Your Majesty, and Help us, for the Sake of Your Beloved Lambs.
Blessed be Your Beautiful and Glorious and Magnificent Name! We Love You, our Abba, and Praise You for the Gift of Your Son. Thank You for Hearing and Answering our Prayers. In Jesus' Name, for the Glory of Heaven's King, amen.

~Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.~
Deuteronomy 31:6
Amen.
AMEN DEAREST SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“God, my maker, who giveth songs in the night.”
- Job 35:10
Any man can sing in the day. When the cup is full, man draws inspiration
from it. When wealth rolls in abundance around him, any man can praise the
God who gives a plenteous harvest or sends home a loaded argosy. It is
easy enough for an Aeolian harp to whisper music when the winds blow-the
difficulty is for music to swell forth when no wind is stirring. It is
easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but he is skilful who
sings when there is not a ray of light to read by-who sings from his
heart. No man can make a song in the night of himself; he may attempt it,
but he will find that a song in the night must be divinely inspired. Let
all things go well, I can weave songs, fashioning them wherever I go out
of the flowers that grow upon my path; but put me in a desert, where no
green thing grows, and wherewith shall I frame a hymn of praise to God?
How shall a mortal man make a crown for the Lord where no jewels are? Let
but this voice be clear, and this body full of health, and I can sing
God’s praise: silence my tongue, lay me upon the bed of languishing, and
how shall I then chant God’s high praises, unless he himself give me the
song? No, it is not in man’s power to sing when all is adverse, unless an
altar-coal shall touch his lip. It was a divine song, which Habakkuk sang,
when in the night he said, “Although the fig-tree shall not blossom,
neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail,
and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the
fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the
Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
“ Then, since our Maker gives songs in the night, let us wait upon him for
the music.
O thou chief musician, let us not remain songless because affliction is
upon us, but tune thou our lips to the melody of thanksgiving.
5 SOLAS!
A newspaper ad showed three people waiting for a city bus. Two of them were bored and listless, while the third was happily playing a game on a small electronic device. “Do something with your nothing,” the ad said. “That nothing time. The time in between everything else you have to do.” The idea was to sell the portable player so people could use all those segments of wasted “waiting” time.
I suspect that many of us already constructively use those small increments of waiting time to read a book, memorize a verse, or pray for a friend. It’s our longer waiting periods filled with uncertainty and indecision that may leave us anxious and frustrated.
Paul challenged the Christians in Ephesus to “walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5:15-16). The Greek scholar Kenneth Wuest suggests that this refers to time in its “strategic, opportune seasons” and means “making a wise and sacred use of every opportunity for doing good.”
During those seasons when we wonder, “How did I get here and when can I leave?” it’s best to look for our God-given opportunities instead of focusing on the obstacles. That’s the way to do something with our nothing.
I just Found a Short Video on another Thread of our Sarah Talking about her Christian Faith; what an Awesome Lady she is!
Thank you, my Dearest Pastor, for the Always-Excellent Spurgeon Devotionals that are a Blessing to the Church! I just Found a Short Vid of our Sarah Talking about her Faith in our Lord; Please See Post #9! Hugs to you and my Precious Sister.
Joining all in prayer for our nation and those who serve in faith and glory to this “one nation under God”, and not themselves.
God bless our patriots and servants, wherever they may be.
Amen and God Bless Ya!!!!
Amen, Kitty, May the Great, Mighty and Righteous One restore us and bring death, darkness and lies into His light.
When we pray for the election, we must pray believing, not hoping, not wishing.
Matt 21:22 and everything you ask in prayer, believing ,you shall receive.
Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, "All things are possible to him who believes."
It is so close to the election and the media has already elected Obama, but they don't know that we have a prayer chain praying across the nation, they don't believe in the power of prayer!
So Let's keep praying, and while praying, BELIEVE that John McCain and and Sarah Palin will be elected through the Grace of God. So be it, in Jesus Name, Amen"
I received this from my wonderful Mom in an email just a few minutes ago. I hope it is okay to post it here. :)
Amen.
Father, I pray for the presidential race for this country..especially for John McCain and Sarah Palin Lord, be with them to have favor, wisdom,clarity in message,strength in character,love for YOU.
Please confuse the enemy and bind his powers and cohorts, but please release You Spirit to move on peoples hearts and minds to see clearly motives and truth. You can speak through anyone, could You please speak truth through even those who want to speak lies? Thank You Father in Jesus Name.
Pray For Unity in the Body of Christ.

“Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined and a house divided against itself will fall.”
— Luke 11:17
Thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit that You are One. Thank You that You’ve made us one with You and one with one another.
Today I ask that this election would not bring division in the Body of Christ. Keep us from anger, judgment and criticism toward one another. May love for one another over-rule. Lord, we ask that there would be a unity in the Body as described in Psalm 133, so that You can bless our nation. In Your wonderful Name I pray. Amen.
It's Awesome, Sweet Tajgirvan! Thank you So Much for Posting it, and Amen to your Prayer!
