Praying without ceasing.
Father, I bring our President, Your child, George W. Bush, to You today. I ask that You give him protection in his travels, wisdom in his decisions, strength in his weakness, and guidance in his every step. I thank You for the tremendous message of compassion that he gave today. I thank You that he continues to bring the message of responsibility, commitment, morality, marriage, love of neighbor, and love of country to this nation in need of that message. I thank You that he has confessed Jesus as His Lord and Savior, and that his life reflects Your love.
Bless and protect him this day, dear Lord. Bless and surround Laura with Your love, as well. Help her to continue to be the Godly wife she needs to be, to support him, comfort him, and love him unconditionally, so that he might be able to carry out the tasks with which You have entrusted him. Bless his daughters, and help them to grow in spirit and in truth, and to mature into women who love and serve You.
And finally, dear Lord, we ask Your blessings on this nation. We ask that You place a shield of protection over us, and keep us from harm. But far more important, we ask that You bring a revival to America, and we ask that You use us, Your people, as You see fit, to proclaim Your message of Love and Truth to a nation in need. In Jesus' precious Name I pray, Amen.
We praise You, O God and we acknowledge You to be the Lord. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory and majesty. Day by day we magnify You, and we worship Your Name forever, world without end. For You alone are worthy of blessing, and glory, power, honor, and praise. Save Your people, Great God and bless Your heritage. Govern us and lift us up forever.
We ask that Your peace would surround President Bush in all his work this week. Thank You for his powerful testimony of his love for You yesterday as he spoke in Los Angeles. Thank You that he is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We ask, Lord, that You would shine the light of truth into the hearts of his critics. Father, please shield President Bush from those who are so engrossed in group think that they have no idea what Your truths contain. Scatter the leaders of those that secretly devise mischief, and bring the dealings of the violent to an end. Cast down the unjust from positions of authority and subdue the haters and evil-doers. Father, so many of them are operating under a cloak of lies which they seek to perpetuate. They are not interested in the truth. Please change their hearts, open their eyes, and give them productive ways to spend their time on this earth.
Give wisdom to President Bush, Father. He is being hammered on every side. Let Your truth be known to him in every situation he encounters. Give him advisers who will seek Your wisdom daily. Please help him pray to receive Your wisdom regarding Karen Hughes replacement. Let our President not be deceived, especially by those whom he trusts. Thwart the devils plans to derail the agenda you have set before our President. Father, help him to do all things through You as You strengthen him. Convict his heart to please only You, for You are his keeper. Let him not fear what man may do to him.
Steel Your prayer warriors against the onslaughts of the evil one, God of our defense. Come in Your everlasting power and glory into the hearts of Your remnant. Bring unto us a new sense of commitment to You and to raising up our nation and its leaders for Your blessing. Send forth Your Holy Spirit into our hearts that our prayers may be guided into a fragrant offering of worship toward You each day. Prepare the people of this nation to pray every day, and especially to pray in unity for our nation on our National Day of Prayer this Thursday. Thank You, Father, for Your wonderful answers to our prayers, and for sending forth Your highest blessings for our nation and our President. Edify those who pray here that we may honor You in all ways, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
Father, please be with the President and cabinet and their families to strengthen and encourage and guide. Work out Your sovereign will for our nation through Your chosen vessels.
Lord, I pray for our military and that of Israel that You will be their guide keeping them safe in dangerous situations...may they see Your hand and give glory to You alone.
I pray for the prayer warriors here that You will fill us with Your Holy Spirit to cause us to be holy in all we do. Give us guidance by the Spirit to fight the good fight. Please keep us under Your feathers for we love You.We ask for an outpouring of Your Spirit to cover this nation as never before causing such a thirst for You that people fill Your house once more.
Lastly, I pray for Christian brothers and sisters around the world that You will be them in their difficult situations protecting and guiding them. Today a lady from our Bible study at church shared about her time in Russia a couple of days ago she got back. She said that where she was was so dark and under such darkness with KGB and military and law enforcement everywhere watching. I pray for Russia, Lord, allow the gospel to penetrate that dark dungeon and set the captives free. The Jesus film has made inroads .....please Lord allow more, in Jesus name, amen.
