GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN!

Ps 28:1 A Psalm of David. To You I will cry, O LORD my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
3 Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.
4 Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.
6 Blessed be the LORD, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications!
7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
8 The LORD is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed.
9 Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever.
(NKJV)

Dear Lord,
Your saints gather before Your throne of grace with prayer and supplication this evening.
Lord we thankyou for this time Your saints can gather and for this prayer ministry.
Lord,we pray for Your servant,our brother and president george walker bush.
Lord,we also pray for this land,may Your grace fill our president and preserve this land from the evil that would be the most liberal senator.



Re 13:10 He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
(NKJV)

"Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens."
- Lamentations 3:41



The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary
lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without
constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but
a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a
revelation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth,
it is a confession of human emptiness. The most healthy state of a
Christian is to be always empty in self and constantly depending upon the
Lord for supplies; to be always poor in self and rich in Jesus; weak as
water personally, but mighty through God to do great exploits; and hence
the use of prayer, because, while it adores God, it lays the creature
where it should be, in the very dust. Prayer is in itself, apart from the
answer which it brings, a great benefit to the Christian. As the runner
gains strength for the race by daily exercise, so for the great race of
life we acquire energy by the hallowed labour of prayer. Prayer plumes the
wings of God's young eaglets, that they may learn to mount above the
clouds. Prayer girds the loins of God's warriors, and sends them forth to
combat with their sinews braced and their muscles firm. An earnest pleader
cometh out of his closet, even as the sun ariseth from the chambers of the
east, rejoicing like a strong man to run his race. Prayer is that uplifted
hand of Moses which routs the Amalekites more than the sword of Joshua; it
is the arrow shot from the chamber of the prophet foreboding defeat to the
Syrians.
Prayer girds human weakness with divine strength, turns human folly into
heavenly wisdom, and gives to troubled mortals the peace of God.
We know not what prayer cannot do! We thank thee, great God, for the
mercy-seat, a choice proof of thy marvellous lovingkindness.
Help us to use it aright throughout this day!

Hi alpha,

I am wondering if you could do the Pray for President Bush post for me this coming Monday, October 18th. I will be going out of town. If you are unable, it is OK. Please let me know whenever you can. Thank you so much.

Faith
