How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me?
I wil lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD.
I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of His people.

Psalm 116: 12-14

Dear Heavenly Father, how we praise You for Your goodness to us, as Your people, and as a nation! We are surrounded by wealth and freedom that we often take for granted. We have families and friends, and live in comfort that few in the world enjoy, and yet we often complain about our lives. We come to You tonight asking forgiveness for our ungrateful hearts, as we lift up the cup of salvation and call upon Your name in prayer.

Father, we once again bring before You President Bush, thanking You that he names the name of Christ, and has asked You to be his Lord and Savior. We ask that You lead his every step, and guide his path every day, so that he honors You with his life. We ask that he might seek to have the mind of Christ as he serves this nation, and You. We ask that You might block out the voices that would lead him in the wrong way, and would keep him from pride and conceit. Keep him dependent on You for everything in his life, dear Lord, in his work, in his marriage, in his friendships and his family. We ask that You protect him as he does much traveling over the coming months and keep him safe in the hollow of Your Almighty hand.

We ask that You be with, guide and protect Laura as well, dear Lord. We thank You for her life, and for the radiance and serenity that reveal a devotion to You. We ask that You might surround them both, and Barbara and Jenna as well, with a hedge of protection, and that they might be blessed with wisdom, joy and peace that come only from You.

We pray, dear Father, for the election coming in November. We confess that we become discouraged by the lies that are being told by the left. We confess that we do not always take our frustration to You in prayer. We ask, Lord, that You might be at work in the American people; that You might embolden those who are hesitant to speak to let friends and family know the truth. We pray that You would give discernment to the American people that they might be able to understand where the truth lies.

Father, we bring before You our brave and strong military as they serve this country abroad, and protect our freedom, and even our very lives. Comfort them as they deal with separation from families. Put a shield around their bodies and spirits, so that they might return whole after their deployments are over. We pray especially tonight as well for those who are recovering from wounds, that You might place Your healing hand on them. And Lord, for the families of those who have fallen, we ask that a special peace be given to them. Help them to feel Your presence, and to know that their loved one has died in a just and noble cause.

And finally, dear Father, we pray for this nation. We have not fulfilled our vows to the Lord. We have strayed far from the principles on which this nation was founded, and for that, we ask forgiveness. Father we ask for a cleansing to come over this land, that there might be a return to personal responsibility, and even shame for what we have done wrong. We pray that the blight of abortion might be removed from America. Lord, we beg Your forgiveness for any complacency that Your children have had as millions of innocent babies have been slaughtered for convenience. Speak to and through Your people in America, and help us to rise up with voices of righteousness to stand firm for those things that are pleasing to You. We lift up our praise, our prayers and our petitions to You, dear Lord, in the name of Jesus, who sacrificed His life, and shed His blood for the remission of our sin, Amen!

Holy Father,

Please help our President to stand firm on his support of a constitutional amendment to preserve the traditional definition of marriage. Father, awaken our senators who are hiding in the darkness of political correctness as they debate this issue. Help us as Christians in this nation to stand up and defend that which You have ordained as good and right. In the Name of Jesus Who died for us all. Amen.

Ps 54:1 To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contemplation of David when the Ziphites went and said to to Saul, "Is David not hiding with us?" Save me, O God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; Give ear to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me, And oppressors have sought after my life; They have not set God before them. Selah
4 Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life.
5 He will repay my enemies for their evil. Cut them off in Your truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, O LORD, for it is good.
7 For He has delivered me out of all trouble; And my eye has seen its desire upon my enemies.

Dear Lord,
thankyou for this day,thankyou for this moment,thankyou for this second,thankyou for this assembly of saints,at this time we can gather before Your throne of glory.
Lord,we pray for all of the saints,we pray especially for george walker bush,laura bush,their family and administration.
Lord,You have taught us"if the world hates us it hated You before that"
Lord,we pray for strength for our president,his family and counselors.the diatribe of hate speech is cast against him and all believers because the enemy see's a nation which is focusing on the one true God.
Lord,we pray for all of the defenders of freedom,through battles waged,may they fight for liberty and freedom,upholding the principles which You, founded this great land.

Isa 40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
(NKJV)

Sanctified by God the Father."
- Jude 1



"Sanctified in Christ Jesus."
- 1 Corinthians 1:2
"Through sanctification of the Spirit."
- 1 Peter 1:2

Mark the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts. How
unwisely do those believers talk who make preferences in the Persons of
the Trinity; who think of Jesus as if he were the embodiment of everything
lovely and gracious, while the Father they regard as severely just, but
destitute of kindness. Equally wrong are those who magnify the decree of
the Father, and the atonement of the Son, so as to depreciate the work of
the Spirit. In deeds of grace none of the Persons of the Trinity act apart
from the rest. They are as united in their deeds as in their essence. In
their love towards the chosen they are one, and in the actions which flow
from that great central source they are still undivided. Specially notice
this in the matter of sanctification. While we may without mistake speak
of sanctification as the work of the Spirit, yet we must take heed that we
do not view it as if the Father and the Son had no part therein. It is
correct to speak of sanctification as the work of the Father, of the Son,
and of the Spirit. Still doth Jehovah say, "Let us make man in our own
image after our likeness," and thus we are "his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them." See the value which God sets upon real holiness,
since the Three Persons in the Trinity are represented as co-working to
produce a Church without "spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing." And you,
believer, as the follower of Christ, must also set a high value on
holiness-upon purity of life and godliness of conversation.
Value the blood of Christ as the foundation of your hope, but never speak
disparagingly of the work of the Spirit which is your meetness for the
inheritance of the saints in light.
This day let us so live as to manifest the work of the Triune God in us.

TO GOD ALONE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!
