President Bush again talked openly about his Christian faith during his press conference Thursday evening.

Without prompting, and after discussing his willingness to use troops if diplomacy fails, Bush pointed to his faith as leading him to this decision.

Bush said:

"My faith sustains me, because I pray daily. I pray for guidance and wisdom and strength.

"If we were to commit our troops -- if we were to commit our troops I would pray for their safety, and I would pray for the safety of innocent Iraqi lives as well.

"One thing that's really great about our country is that there are thousands of people who pray for me who I'll never see and be able to thank. But it's a humbling experience to think that people I will never have met have lifted me and my family up in prayer. And for that I'm grateful. It's been a comforting feeling to know that is true.

"I pray for peace."

Dear Heavenly Father, almighty God, please continue to bless your servant George during this time of trial. Grant him wisdom from on high and give him that peace which surpasseth all understanding. Bless his advisors and commanders. And Lord, watch over each of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the region, along with their families. May they all bow their knees in the sand, on the decks of ships and on the tarmacs and find favor in your sight. In Jesus' most precious name we pray, Amen.

I got goose bumps when he said that, I'm even getting them now!

AMEN.

Prayer to Saint Michael

Saint Michael, Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And you, Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

I was surprised by this . He showed great depth of character and resolve. He feels the heaviness of the burden of having to send our troops into harms way.

I'm sure the demacrat's will be sneering at him for having mentioned his faith and will engage in their usual put downs of God and all things Christian. I say let them. God has a way of repaying those who mock him

Dear Lord, Bless and protect President Bush and his family from all stress and harm. Grant, especially to President Bush, Your Peace as he performs the duties of his office. Father, please reveal and thwart and frustrate the plans of those who do not serve You, and who seek to harm President Bush, our military, or our nation in any way. I ask in the blessed name of Jesus Amen.

I have no words to describe the courage of GW Bush. An arrogant bunch of sneaky media atheists was interviewing him. Yet he stood calmly in front of them and expressed his heart.

God bless America and George Bush. God bless and protect the US army.
