[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Lord, as the polls open today in yet another important election, I pray that people will recall the many examples given in the Bible about the benefits of giving You reverence and trusting completely, only in You and none other.

Lord, I confess my own failure to better appreciate this Nation called The United States of America and my own sins. I confess that I am forgiven of these and You will use even my failings to glorify Yourself and to prove that 'all things work together for good to them that love You and are called according to Your purpose.'

Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being born here in America. Lord, let others see what has been accomplished in "One Nation, Under God" and go out and do likewise elsewhere. Let them not be filled with covetousness and envy but rather a healthy sense of purpose and encouragement and 'co-opetition' whereby we could live nation with nation, side by side, without unrest.

Lord, let there be many eyes, ears and hearts opened to the lies told about 'racism' which lies deny You and devalues the entire human race. Lord, let many know that there is ONE race--the human race, created by You and that the paint job doesn't matter, what matters is what's in the character and what we do with what we have. Let every human realize he or she is 'fearfully and wonderfully made' in Your image.

Lord, in Proverbs we are told an untrustworthy messenger is like trying to run on a broken foot. Let people not be deceived, nor support untrustworthy messengers masquerading as news media--and let us discern well who among them are trustworthy, for indeed some are worthy of our trust. Let us not permit those who scorn this Nation's own 'huddled masses,' her People who huddle at newsstands craving truth to be made merchandise of.

Let this People look with wise eyes and see the graffiti, the robberies, the thefts and the other crimes and know that some speak of punishing crime but seek to reward it. Let this People discern, and let us remove from power those unfaithful persons.

Let us return to the Ten Commandments.

Let us return to absolute truth and not reward those who lie and cheat and steal.

Be swift, Lord to judge and punish evildoers that escape human justice--but meanwhile let us be faithful to fearlessly and tirelessly strive to protect the innocent and the weak from oppressors. "Vengeance is Mine, saith the LORD.'

Be swift my soul to answer Him, be jubilant my feet,
Our God is marching on!

In Jesus' Name, amen

And one I would not have wanted to miss. Be swift my soul indeed.

[Obadiah]

Let people not be deceived, nor support untrustworthy messengers masquerading as news media--and let us discern well who among them are trustworthy,...

Amen.

I fear we are descending deeper into darkness across this country. I am heartened by the prayers, I distinctly recall the clear hand of God in the 2004 election. It is my prayer that we continue to pray for this great land entrusted to us well beyond this election. I pray that true, sweeping revival might wash over us and that we would again become the shining city upon the hill.

[fortheDeclaration]

Amen and amen.

[redgolum]

Amen sir, amen.

Come Lord Jesus.

[Dolphy]

Amen.

[DollyCali]

Thank you for the ping (and I had a few others yesterday)..I too have been praying for our country & this election for several weeks actually. I have delayed voting this AM as I will admit to being totally unprepared on the 5 issues on Ohio ballots.. so awaiting some input from Ohio FReepers on our board.

God be with our candidates, the process & voting officials.

[AnnaZ]

Amen. (Even tho' I wasn't born here... just naturalized).

[Coop]

Saying a prayer that all pro-life candidates are rewarded with a(nother) term in office, and that the tactics of intimidation, distortion, fear, anti-Americanism and racism are soundly defeated.

[Pharmboy]

Amen.

[beltfed308]

Very nice! Thanks for the ping!

Dear Lord, may the righteous prevail, in this, the country with the greatest blessings which You have bestowed. May our president continue to be your faithful servant and may we as a country always be thankful.

[apackof2]

In Jesus Name
Amen

[afnamvet]

Father God, I ask that Your wisdom and Your Truth prevail in our minds and our deeds today as we choose the leaders of of our beloved America. Guide us and direct each one of us in this important decison. Father, I ask that You grant us victory today. Keep us all safe to and from the polls. All Glory is Yours Lord. I ask these things in Jesus' precious name Amen.

[Alamo-Girl]

"And another thing. I (and not my husband) was asked if I wanted to participate in an exit poll for "the major networks". The questions were more about WHY I voted the way I did than WHOM I voted for. As expected, the liberal slant was definitely there: 6 questions (rephrased) about how the war in Iraq affected my vote and only 1 about whether or not terrorism was a factor. I suspect I was targeted b/c I look more liberal than my husband. Exit pollers definitely are profiling:

I saw 6 other women being polled and only 1 guy (who happened to look like a UA student). Middle aged males who looked businesslike were avoided."
