Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10
We are gathering here at this holy place of prayer to lift up President Bush. Your Word says that as he seeks You, You hear him and deliver him from his fears. You have given Your angels charge concerning him, and those who hate him shall be condemned. You redeem the soul of Your servant, and none of those who trust in You shall be condemned. Thank You for Your great and faithful love for him and his family. It has been an honor to pray for a man who is called by Your name. Send laborers to give him whatever he needs--whether it is a word from You, wise counsel, competent and skilful help or natural protection.
We continue in agreement this day for victory for our troops. Keep them safe in the shadow of Your wings and expose their enemies with Your light. Our hearts’ desire, Father, is for a sweeping, cleansing move of Your Holy Spirit to change the hearts and minds of the opposing forces. Jesus paid the full price for their deliverance from Satan’s blinding lies. Father, send Your word to bring them truth so they can receive eternal life.
Thank You, Sir, for never neglecting to leave some witness of Yourself, for You showed us kindness and gave us rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying our hearts with nourishment and happiness. (Acts 14:17) Through Your Spirit, open the eyes of those who do not understand that this goodness comes from You. As a nation, we are a blessed people. Raise up more worshippers, we pray, in Jesus’ name.
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
Thank you Lord for President George W. Bush, please continue to protect him from his enemies. Thank you for the blessings of his leadership, for helping us to defeat our enemies, and for our brave men and women in the United States Military, that keep our freedoms safe and the enemies of America from succeeding.
Thank you for this day. Amen.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration, the election and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
Jane Welsh, secretary to Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881), married him and devoted her life to him and his work. He loved her deeply but was so busy with his writing and speaking that he often neglected her. Some time into their marriage, she became ill and suddenly died.
In a new book by John Ortberg, I read that after the funeral Thomas went alone to Jane’s room and looked at her diary. He found these words she had written about him: “Yesterday he spent an hour with me and it was like heaven. I love him so.” On another day, she wrote, “I have listened all day to hear his steps in the hall, but now it is late. I guess he will not come today.” He wept brokenly, realizing his neglect of her and her desire just to talk with him.
As I read that, I couldn’t help but think, God loves me dearly and waits for me to fellowship with Him. How many days do I forget Him?
The Lord welcomes our worship, our prayer, our praise. He has told us in His Word to pray all the time (1 Thess. 5:17). As He did with the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3, Christ knocks on the door of our heart and patiently waits (v.20). He listens attentively for our call, our cry, our prayer. How often does He wait in vain?
Amen and Amen to your words that overflow with love before our Heavenly Father, Hiskid. And may it be that on this National Day of Prayer, our hearts and our attention would be upon the sinful condition of our beloved country ... that we would truly repent ... that we would be healed.
2 Chronicles 7:14 ~ “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
May it be thus, O Lord, may it be thus, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen ...
Amen, and Amen, my Sister in Christ. Praying All your Petitions with you, in His Most Wonderful Name.
'Great is the LORD, and Greatly to be Praised!' (Ps.48:1)
Amen to beautiful prayers.
Cowboys to computers, in 100 years
From saddles and stirrups to automatic gears
The Tree of Knowledge is open for all
But, the Tree of Life is our downfall
Do we want to spend more time, here, upon this earth?
While losing touch with God, what is it worth?
All want to be Methuselah, and try to live forever
They don’t realize in Jesus’ eyes is the answer to their endeavor
This body has been repaired by a surgeon’s knife
But, has it helped or hindered my spiritual life
I thank God for this time that He has given me
So many years He’s waited, for my eyes to see
He’s helped me turn that corner to Eternity
He’s just waiting to help you, too, you see
Take as long as you like, but while you’re here, never fear
You will be filled with strife, if you don’t keep Jesus near
This is the devil’s playground and he’ll take you for a ride
The longer you hunger for the physical life, the shorter your spiritual stride
No, we’re not to take our lives to shorten this lifelong test
We must spend the time allotted, just like all the rest
A century seems so long to us, it’s just a drop in the ages
Ne need to seek the Word, as we turn these pages
In seeking God’s time, He will make our spirits soar
As we keep Him close beside us, we are His forever more
How Majestic is His Name in All thee Earth, Praise His Holy Name Forever!
I agree with your prayer and Praise God for our Country and George and Laura Bush.May the Hand of the Lord be Upon them all their days ! in Jesus Name, Amen.
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers.”
- Song of Solomon 5:13
Lo, the flowery month is come! March winds and April showers have done
their work, and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come my soul, put
on thine holiday attire and go forth to gather garlands of heavenly
thoughts. Thou knowest whither to betake thyself, for to thee “the beds of
spices” are well known, and thou hast so often smelt the perfume of “the
sweet flowers,” that thou wilt go at once to thy well-beloved and find all
loveliness, all joy in him. That cheek once so rudely smitten with a rod,
oft bedewed with tears of sympathy and then defiled with spittle-that
cheek as it smiles with mercy is as fragrant aromatic to my heart. Thou
didst not hide thy face from shame and spitting, O Lord Jesus, and
therefore I will find my dearest delight in praising thee. Those cheeks
were furrowed by the plough of grief, and crimsoned with red lines of
blood from thy thorn-crowned temples; such marks of love unbounded cannot
but charm my soul far more than “pillars of perfume.” If I may not see the
whole of his face I would behold his cheeks, for the least glimpse of him
is exceedingly refreshing to my spiritual sense and yields a variety of
delights. In Jesus I find not only fragrance, but a bed of spices; not one
flower, but all manner of sweet flowers. He is to me my rose and my lily,
my heart’s- ease and my cluster of camphire. When he is with me it is May
all the year round, and my soul goes forth to wash her happy face in the
morning-dew of his grace, and to solace herself with the singing of the
birds of his promises.
Precious Lord Jesus, let me in very deed know the blessedness which
dwells in abiding, unbroken fellowship with thee.
I am a poor worthless one, whose cheek thou hast deigned to kiss! O let
me kiss thee in return with the kisses of my lips.
C.H.SPURGEON
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
Amen.
Amen.
Oh, what a blessing you all are! I thank you and I know God is so pleased with your offerings, agreements and words that bring Life. We will never quit!!!
