URGENT PRAYER REQUEST FROM PRESIDENT BUSH

Rev. J. R. Beeke | March 16, 2003 | Me

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

I have refrain from shameless vanities, but feel that given the course of today's events, an urgent need to relay this request. Last wee, President George W. Bush had an urgent prayer meeting with a number of conservative evangelical ministers at the White House. This colleague of a ministerial friend of mine was invited to that meeting.

My friend's colleague expected to see President Bush tired and worn down when he arrived to meet these leaders to storm the throne of grace together. However, to this man's surprise President Bush looked refreshed and vigorous. When asked how he could be so peaceful, the President replied that he never felt stronger. The reason was that he knew that so many were praying for him. And he went on to say "when I am on my knees I feel real power."

Another minister at the meeting asked the President how the American people could pray for him in these trying days. He requested if we could ask God to give him clarity of mind to make wise decisions. He also asked that we would pray for his wife and two daughters because he fears for their safety.

In these hours, before our country embarks on what appears to be an inevitable conflict against a brutal and evil enemy, I would ask my dear Freepers to pray for our President, pray for his family, pray for his advisors, and pray for our brave military. To that end, I would ask that we set aside time tomorrow to bring these things to our God.

We are blessed with a prosperous and mighty land. Yet we cannot rely on our strength alone. Our help is in the name of the LORD.

As always, praying for our President. It is more necessary now than ever - even when Clinton was president, I prayed for his redemption. How much more wonderful to pray for a man who might actually listen to God...

May the President be guided by the hand of GOD. Amen.

[Wait4Truth]

Count me as one that will do as the President has requested.

[Conservababe]

Only a humble man feels power while on his knees.

God, guide our President wisely, as he has requested.

Keep him and his family safe. And may our sacrifice for this just war be light.

Slightly altered from the movie We Were Soldiers

Our Father in Heaven, before our President gives our brave men and women the order to go into battle, all of us will approach you each in his own way. Our enemies too, according to their own understanding, will ask for protection and for victory. And so, we bow before your infinite wisdom. We offer our prayers as best we can. I pray you watch over the the President and our brave men and women. That are led into battle. Use the President as your instrument in this awful hell of war to watch over them. The President and the Brave men and women are deserving of a future in your blessing and goodwill. Amen.

Oh, yes, and one more thing, dear Lord, about our enemies, ignore their heathen prayers and help us blow those little bastards straight to Hell. Amen.

I will continue my prayers for President Bush, PM Blair, and other coalition leaders as well as for our brave soldiers, their commanders and also for innocent Iraqi citizens. I also pray for the safety for the Allied countries against terror and retaliation.

Christ taught that we should even pray for our enemies. I'm still working on that--no sarcasm whatsoever intended.

With this news bring cheer to all the discouraged ones.Encourage those who are afraid. Tell them,"Be strong,fear not,for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you." And when He comes,He will open the eyes of the blind, and unstop the ears of the deaf.
