Lord God I pray for our president. Enable him to be strong and in the power of your might. Help him not to worry about anything but rather give everything over to prayer. May he come to you with all his requests. Guard his mind and his heart and give him peace. We pray this in your Son’s precious name, amen.
Come and pray.
Amen
Prayers up for our visionary, courageous President!
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God.”
- Psalm 139:17
Divine omniscience affords no comfort to the ungodly mind, but to the
child of God it overflows with consolation. God is always thinking upon
us, never turns aside his mind from us, has us always before his eyes; and
this is precisely as we would have it, for it would be dreadful to exist
for a moment beyond the observation of our heavenly Father. His thoughts
are always tender, loving, wise, prudent, far-reaching, and they bring to
us countless benefits: hence it is a choice delight to remember them. The
Lord always did think upon his people: hence their election and the
covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured; he always will
think upon them: hence their final perseverance by which they shall be
brought safely to their final rest. In all our wanderings the watchful
glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us-we never roam
beyond the Shepherd’s eye. In our sorrows he observes us incessantly, and
not a pang escapes him; in our toils he marks all our weariness, and
writes in his book all the struggles of his faithful ones.
These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate
the innermost region of our being.
Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is
uncared for; all the littles of our little world are thought upon by the
great God.
Dear reader, is this precious to you? then hold to it. Never be led astray
by those philosophic fools who preach up an impersonal God, and talk of
self-existent, self-governing matter.
The Lord liveth and thinketh upon us, this is a truth far too precious
for us to be lightly robbed of it.
The notice of a nobleman is valued so highly that he who has it counts
his fortune made; but what is it to be thought of by the King of kings! If
the Lord thinketh upon us, all is well, and we may rejoice evermore.

Playwright and US Congresswoman Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987) once said, “No good deed goes unpunished.” Sadly, it sometimes seems as if this aphorism is true.
David, soon to be king of Israel, had an experience that corroborates this idea. While hiding from Saul, he and his men watched over the property of a rich landowner named Nabal. But later, when David asked a favor of Nabal, he was met with scorn. “Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has,” said David. “He has repaid me evil for good” (1 Sam. 25:21).
Before David could carry out revenge, Nabal’s wife intervened and kept David from acting rashly. Soon, God struck Nabal dead (v.38). Then David praised God for keeping him from evil and for returning “the wickedness of Nabal on his own head” (v.39).
Perhaps you’ve had an experience when kindness was repaid with ingratitude, a generous gift was treated as an entitlement, kind actions were interpreted as an attempt to control, or well-intended advice was received with scorn.
David’s story reminds us that even when it seems as if we’re being repaid with evil for doing good, we don’t have to take matters into our own hands; we can trust God with the outcome.
Thank You, Lord, that that the Iraq war seems to be no longer an argument from the left. They are realizing that our President is winning this battle with evil, and their lies are no longer working.
Thank You, Lord, for ongoing safety throughout this land since Sept. 11, 2001. We do not fear further attacks such as were committed that day. Let those who would try further attacks be brought into Your light, Lord. Protect, this, Your nation sanctified in Christ, and let it stand as a beacon forever in His name.
Bless and cover our warriors, Lord, that they will rejoice in Your name, and bring Your will home from the far lands to recommit this nation to You.
Thank You, Lord, for Your many gifts, Your ongoing love and grace, and the peace You give us each and every day.
Amen.
Amen to your Beautiful and Powerful Prayers.
