Psalm 3:3
But Thou, O Lord, art a shield for me;
my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Too often we fail to thank You and praise You for all that You have done for us in America. You have blessed us beyond measure and though we have sinned in many different ways, You have not turned Your face away from us. Father, hear the prayers of the people all across this nation who recognize that You are the source of all hope for America, for You alone are our Strength and Shield. Our need for You is indeed great.
Thank You for our beloved country, Father, for it was established according to Your laws and truths. We confess that it is now besieged by those who want to subvert that heritage. O Lord, we can point the finger at judges, at Congress, at immigrants, and institutions, but we must accept part of the blame ourselves. Too often we have remained silent and have not spoken in defense of Your teachings. We have allowed the most vocal to speak loudly while we ourselves have kept quiet in the safety of our homes, immersed in our routines. Even though we love You, we have frequently chosen the acceptance of the world rather than pleasing You, our God. Forgive us, Lord. Make us strong in You and in the power of Your might. Help us to stand up for that which is good and right, just and true.
We ask You to give our President all manner of wisdom and discernment, especially regarding the immigration issue and the Iraq War. Father, keep his steps secure and lead him in the path You want him to follow. Send out interference to keep him from evil or from making wrong choices; for You, O Lord, are a shield for him---his glory, and the lifter of his head. We pray that You would help our President to keep his eyes not on things that are seen and temporary, but on that which is unseen and eternal. May Your Name be glorified in his life as he fulfills every purpose You have for him.
Father, we think about our troops and all those who have fought so bravely for freedom in this nation. Our hearts are filled with gratitude for their selfless acts of love and devotion to their fellow man. We ask for Your highest blessings upon them and Your powerful protection over them. Keep them from discouragement, Father, and may they be blessed with energy and firm resolve as they complete their missions.
Gracious and compassionate God, bless Your people who pause here to pray. Help us to worship You throughout each day and tell others of the power of Your awesome works. Grant us Your peace as we celebrate Your loving providence and Your mighty blessings upon this nation. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Please join us in prayer.
I shall.
I just called the White House to leave a comment and told them right off that I pray for the President everyday, she said the President appreciates that.
I called to tell him how disappointed I am in his stance on these illegals.
I told her I will continue to pray for guidance for him.
God Bless the USA

It’s good to have you with us, Irish. Thank you for praying.
Thank you for adding your AMEN to our prayers! God bless you.
Father, release in us the Power that is ours, for the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us. Cause us to use this Power to plead our cause before the Throne of Grace, for our leaders and our defenders and our countrymen. Let this Power become vocal as we speak Your Name and Your purpose ... let this Power overwhelm the enemy as we pray for their salvation.
And may we know, O God, to the very depths of our being, that Yours is the Kingdom ... Yours is the Power ... Yours is the Glory, forever, Amen ...
I agree with both your prayers, and with the others who are praying here.
Lord, we come against the evil spirits that have attacked our country and our president. We rebuke these spirits and bind them in the name of the precious son of God, Jesus the Lamb!
Holy Jehovah God, please open the eyes of President Bush and our congressmen, so they will see things as you see them. Please guide them to make good and righteous decisions despite pressure to follow vain political paths. Please help them to do right by their real constituents: all Americans. Please make our borders strong and secure, and help us have a fair and just system of immigration.
Please help us in our efforts to fight the Islamic terrorists. Help us, we pray, to bring peace and freedom to the Middle East. Our enemies are yours, too, dear God, because they seek to destroy both the Christians and the Jewish people. Fight for us, Lord, because we can do nothing on our own. We give you all the glory, and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen to your prayer which is filled with the passion that many of us share at this time. Thank you, Pegita, and may God bless you.
Thank you for praying, rightgirl. May the Spirit move in our President’s heart.
