Heavenly Father,

Peace. Grace. Rejoicing. Hope. What wonderful words You give us to bring us comfort and calm when we most need it. How blessed we are to serve a living God who knows us down to the number of hairs on our heads and who loves us enough, in spite of our sinfulness, to have sent His only begotten Son to earth to show us how to live and to pay the price for our sins on the Cross of Calvary. O Lord, we bow before You in praise and adoration!

We lift up to You our President, George W. Bush, knowing that You hold him in the palm of Your hand. Father, fill his mind with Your wisdom and discernment and fill his soul with ever-growing faith and peace. Keep him humble enough to know that his strength comes from You and not from within himself. Watch over him and his family and let no harm come to them.

We pray for those working at the polls this day; let them stay refreshed and alert that they may carry out their duties well. Stay the hand of those who would cause mischief and violence. Speak to the hearts of those who are voting, making Your will known to them as they cast their ballots, pricking their consciences on matters such as the unborn; the sanctity of marriage; the rule of law; the nobility of the fight against terrorists for the sake of all mankind; and values such as integrity, honesty, and forthrightness.

Lord, we pray for our nation; we desire a return to times when Your name was hallowed throughout our land and when Your commandments were on the lips and in the hearts of all. Forgive us, O Lord, and revive us that we may once again be that shining city on a hill, casting our beacon light for all the world to see the goodness, fairness, and honor that come from a nation that serves You and seeks to please You.

We lift up to You those who have served in our military, both past and present. Thank You for all those who have made great sacrifices, even unto death, to defend and preserve the freedoms that You bestowed upon us. Give courage and cunning to those who battle the forces of darkness and keep their families wrapped in Your loving arms.

We ask all these things in the Name of Jesus, our Lord and our Savior. Amen.

GOD OF OUR FATHERS

God of our fathers, Whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before Thy throne arise.

Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this free land by Thee our lot is cast,
Be Thou our Ruler, Guardian, Guide and Stay,
Thy Word our law, Thy paths our chosen way.

From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be Thy strong arm our ever sure defense;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

Refresh Thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud, and praise be ever Thine.

~ Words: Dan­i­el C. Ro­berts

Amen! Lord, also, thank you for encouraging your sons and daughters with a true leader who performs for an audience of One and who does not seek the applause of men. We have been blessed and reminded of all things good and just, and of your presence here, with us. If it be your will, Lord, four more years would be great! :)

Our Worthy Master,

Hear us, Merciful Sovereign, as we cry out to Thee from before Your Throne of Glory, pleading for Your Unmerited Favor to be shed Abundantly upon our unworthy Nation this day. We do not deserve that which we seek, but appeal to Thee on the basis of the Infinite Merit of Christ the Only Savior. O Father my King, I join Your beloved ones all across this land, pleading for Thy Compassionate Mercies to fall upon our America; O God our Deliver, forgive us for all of our gross iniquities; remember Thou the prayers of our Godly ancestors, and our Founders who gave their lives and fortunes for the sake of us all, and for the Glory of our Great and Glorious God!

O Sovereign God of Justice, come and deliver us this day! Cast Thou our sins behind Thy back, for Thy Mercies' Sake, and for the sake of generations of Veterans who sacrificed their lives that we could be free from the tyranny of wicked and evil men. See Your cherished children, kneeling in Worship before You now, interceeding on behalf of their countrymen; see our tears, my King, and feel the anguish of our Redeemed hearts as we lament the iniquity all around us, and yet adjure Thee by Christ to be Merciful, to remember Thy Pity in Righteous Judgement. Pardon our iniquities, O Lord and Master of Grace, for the sake of Thy little ones who are pleading before Thy Throne.

Eternal Father Jehovah, forget not our love and support of Your chosen people Israel! O Father, Dearest Father, Your Israel we honor above all others, knitting them to us with the ties of Sovereign Grace. Remember, Beloved Lord, that Your servant George Bush cut Arafat off completely, refusing to meet with him even one time, labeling him as the terrorist and thug he truly is! O, have Mercy upon us, Sweet King, for the sake of our regard for Your beloved Israel! Cast us not away, but revive us as a Nation again!

We are guilty, O Lord our God; we make no excuse for our wickedness and depravity, for the iniquitous defense of perversion, for the merciless slaughter of the unborn. We stand condemned and worthy of severest Judgement, but, O Father of Limitless Mercies, revive us once again! We beg for Thy Sovereign Spirit to fall upon our America, for the sake of the Godly and the Patriots who went before us, save us, Lord of Life, our Blessed Redeemer! Your children are pleading and crying before Thee; our Nations Patriots would with importunity implore Thee: show us Thy Mercies, our Great God and King of Infinite Love!

Merciful Master, we Thank You for hearing our prayers for our Nation, praying all things in Your Powerful and Holy Name, and for the Glory of our Christ, we bow contritely in Reverent Humility before You; hear us, Great King! O hear us, amen.

AMEN DEAR SAINTS!
GRACE AND STRENGTH TO THIS PRAYER MINISTRY!

Ps 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me To eat up my flesh, My enemies and foes, They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war should rise against me, In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice! Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, LORD, I will seek."
9 Do not hide Your face from me; Do not turn Your servant away in anger; You have been my help; Do not leave me nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, Then the LORD will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; For false witnesses have risen against me, And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!
(NKJV)

Dear Lord,
if it is Your will deliver this day to george walker bush.


"I am the Lord, I change not."
- Malachi 3:6



It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One
whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose
brow mutability can make no furrows. All things else have changed-all
things are changing.
The sun itself grows dim with age; the world is waxing old; the folding
up of the worn-out vesture has commenced; the heavens and earth must soon
pass away; they shall perish, they shall wax old as doth a garment; but
there is One who only hath immortality, of whose years there is no end,
and in whose person there is no change.
The delight which the mariner feels, when, after having been tossed about
for many a day, he steps again upon the solid shore, is the satisfaction
of a Christian when, amidst all the changes of this troublous life, he
rests the foot of his faith upon this truth-"I am the Lord, I change not.
"

The stability which the anchor gives the ship when it has at last obtained
a hold-fast, is like that which the Christian's hope affords him when it
fixes itself upon this glorious truth. With God "is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning." What ever his attributes were of old, they are
now; his power, his wisdom, his justice, his truth, are alike unchanged.
He has ever been the refuge of his people, their stronghold in the day of
trouble, and he is their sure Helper still. He is unchanged in his love.
He has loved his people with "an everlasting love"; he loves them now as
much as ever he did, and when all earthly things shall have melted in the
last conflagration, his love will still wear the dew of its youth.
Precious is the assurance that he changes not! The wheel of providence
revolves, but its axle is eternal love.


"Death and change are busy ever,
Man decays, and ages move;
But his mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love."


C.H.SPURGEON

Lord, I join with kayak and all my fellow internet friends right now, as we ask for Your intercession in this Election. We've been working, sometimes in You and sometimes in ourselves, for President Bush. We admit to not always keeping our eyes fixed on You. Please forgive us, Lord. Help us to be more open to Your leading and Your Spirit.

We ask now that You will move the hearts and minds of those who are voting today. Help them to see the wisdom in putting this good and godly man, President Bush, back in office. I pray that they not be swayed by the politics of hate and diversion.

Bring this nation together, Lord, under You. Help those of us who love You do our part in making that happen. And be with our men and women in harm's way today. Protect them, Lord, and bring them home safely. Please.

We ask all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.

I lift our hearts up to God. Father, you know what it is we seek; you know our fears and our concerns. Forgive us our unbelief, and forgive us our sins. Please, help us to listen, and please let Justice be done.

I believe in You; I believe that the prayers of the Righteous man availeth much. Let the Righteous man be our representative in the Presidency. I pray it in Jesus name...

Perfect scripture. I woke up this morning with a sense of peace that I haven't had in a long time. I will absolutely continue to praythat God will change hearts in the voting booth, especially the hearts of his people who would vote for Kerry, that they would instead stand with their brother in Christ, President Bush.

This morning I see angels outside polling places..with their heads on the necks of demons.

I see banners of VICTORY waving...as I read Psalm 98 - "O sing to the Lord a new song for HE HATH DONE MARVELOUS THINGS!! HIS RIGHT HAND AND HIS HOLY ARM HATH GOTTEN HIM THE V I C T O R Y!!!!!!! The Lord hath made known his salvation; his righteousness hath he openly showed in sigh of the heathen.

This will be the greatest victory in the history of Presidential elections....for the GLORY OF GOD!!!
