How great is his joy in the victories You give!
You have granted him the desire of his heart
And have not withheld the request of his lips.

Father, as we have heard, the majority of people who voted for the President yesterday stated morality as the quality he possessed that they wanted in a President. We have sensed that You are working among Your people in this nation, and we have felt Your leading to pray for a revival among us. And Lord, we have all felt the burden to pray daily for the Godly leader You have given us.
We pray for him at this moment, that You would grant him peace and rest after a grueling campaign. We ask that You would give him time with his family that would renew him. We ask that You might help him to know how deeply he is loved and respected by Your children throughout this land, and that he might continue to feel the power of prayer undergirding him every moment of every day in the next four years.
We ask that You might keep him faithful in studying Your word and spending time 'on bended knee' asking for Your guidance and wisdom in accomplishing the great task You have set before him. We know that he seeks Your strength and power, and stands humbly before You as Your servant. We pray that his life might be filled with abundant love and blessing because he has been faithful to You. We ask that You might continue to protect his life, both body and spirit, as he encounters the enemies of this country, both foreign and domestic.
We ask that You might give him the wisdom to know how best to protect America from evil doers who seek to destroy us, and in doing that we pray for the protection of the brave men and women in our military who are serving in the cause of freedom in harm's way in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Father, be at work in Iraq as they prepare for their first free election, as You were in Afghanistan, protecting them as they seek to develop their fledgling democracies. Lord, we know that the Gospel of Your love can now flourish in those dark lands because of the freedom brought to them through the resolve of our President and our military, and we ask that You might be at work among them.
Father, we are also overwhelmed tonight at the tremendous victories all over America of those candidates who stand for life and decency over those who do not. We pray for those members in Congress who have been hostile toward President Bush that they might be humbled and willing to work toward the principles that are best for this nation. We pray as well for the President's cabinet, and ask that the team that will serve You best would be called to lead us in the coming years. And even now, we ask that You might be at work in the election that will follow in 2008, that a leader who honors You would rise up in the Republican party, so that Your principles and laws might be furthered in the many years ahead of us.
Dear Father, once again we thank You from the depths of our beings for the great victory You granted us yesterday, and we ask that this nation would be obedient to Your will for us. In the strong Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen!
Please come and pray with us!
AMEN and AMEN!!!
I will now be a regular lurker here ;-)

I am not one to use this expression much, but it is fitting here: Glory to God. ________________________________________________
Father, Lord God in Heaven.
We approach Thee humbly, but quite thankfully. You have done us a huge favor, and we thank You so much for it.
Sharing John Calvin's comments on Luke 1:46
It is God's fatherly kindness alone, and the salvation flowing from it, that fill the soul with joy. In a word, the first thing necessary for believers is, to be able to rejoice that they have their salvation in God. The next ought to follow, that, having experienced God to be a kind Father, they may "offer to him thanksgiving,"
We thank Thee that a good and righteous, God-fearing man was elected to the White House. Praise Your Name.
Our work in prayer continues, Father. We now ask that you bless the President with success in his battles for the Supreme Court, the Anwar oil fields in Alaska, the War on Terrorism, his policy and defeat of dictatorships in Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. Thank you, Lord, thank you so much for hearing our prayers, for blessing our President, and for blessing America.
Holy Father, Our hearts are filled to overflowing with love for You and gratitude for Your mighty works. May Your Glorious and Excellent Name be praised from the highest mountains to the depths of the seas, for You alone are worthy of all honor, glory, praise and blessing. We are confident that You, O Lord, will fully equip our President for the next four years of service to You, and we pray that he will glorify Your Name as he remains steadfast and secure in the center of Your Will. In the Name of Jesus Christ, we exalt You, Great God. Amen.
Psalm 116: 1, 2 - I love the LORD, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
Praying with you tonight OhioW. Praise and thanks be to God!

Thank you for praying with us, kimchi lover!
I realize I don't post often here, I just wanted to thank you all who faithfully create these threads to remind us to pray.
A day doesn't pass without sending up a silent prayer on behalf of this president and our nation.
May God bless you all greatly for your faithfulness.
This truly has become a place of worship where we lift our brother in Christ up before Almighty God!
Amen, Rander! Praying for wisdom and spiritual discernment for our President!
