Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted because of righteousness,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5: 7-10

[ohioWfan]

Dear Heavenly Father, we praise You and glorify You tonight, for You are Ruler over all the earth. We praise You because You are Holy, and You are righteous, and no good thing can come to us apart from You.

And we praise You tonight for Your mercy upon our land once again in giving us President Bush to lead us for another term. We are on our knees in thanksgiving and praise that You heard and answered our prayers, and that Your servant, George W. Bush is leading this nation back to righeousness and truth, through his example and his governance.

We ask You to be with him, bless him and comfort him, and to grant him the wisdom and discernment which he seeks from You. We ask that You would provide the strength that is needed for the enormous tasks with which You have entrusted him.

We thank You for his character, and for his compassion. We thank You that he loves others, and desires that all the peoples of the world would live in freedom and peace. We ask that he might continue to grow towards purity in heart, that he would see You as he walks with You day by day. We pray for protection for him and for his family, not only physical, but spiritual and emotional, as he is so clearly being persecuted for his righteous stands.

We pray especially tonight for our troops in Fallujah and throughout Iraq that You might shield them from the enemy, and protect them from all harm. We pray that their victory might be swift, and that the city might be under control in the coming hours. We pray that all those who are serving far away from home might be comforted by Your Holy Spirit, and that they might feel Your presence among them. Father, we have heard of many miracles of protection that have come from the battlefield, and we ask that You might intervene in a miraculous way, and save the lives of our brave soldiers and Marines.

We continue to pray for this nation, and those who lead it, that they might lead in wisdom that comes from You, and not in themselves. We ask a special guidance as the President seeks to replace Don Evans and John Ashcroft, that You would lead him to the right people to fill those roles. We ask that You would grant forgiveness for the sins of this nation, and that we might be washed clean with the forgiveness that only comes through Your Son, Jesus Christ, who died as a ransom for our sins. We ask that in the coming four years, that our President might have opportunities to lead us back to being a culture that values life, and moves far away from the belief that "choice" includes the slaughter of the unborn. We ask that this nation might be a beacon of light and freedom throughout the world, and that You would use us as You would see fit to spread the Gospel in lands where darkness reigns. Thank You that You hear and answer prayers! In the Name of Jesus, who is the Christ, we pray, AMEN!

AMEN OHIO AND BLESS YOU!
AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN AND I PRAY THE LORD KEEPS YOU!

Ps 141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry out to You; Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, As when one plows and breaks up the earth.
8 But my eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord; In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.
(NKJV}


"His place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be
given him; his waters shall be sure."
- Isaiah 33:16



Do you doubt, O Christian, do you doubt as to whether God will fulfil his
promise? Shall the munitions of rock be carried by storm? Shall the
storehouses of heaven fail? Do you think that your heavenly Father, though
he knoweth that you have need of food and raiment, will yet forget you?
When not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father, and the very
hairs of your head are all numbered, will you mistrust and doubt him?
Perhaps your affliction will continue upon you till you dare to trust your
God, and then it shall end. Full many there be who have been tried and
sore vexed till at last they have been driven in sheer desperation to
exercise faith in God, and the moment of their faith has been the instant
of their deliverance; they have seen whether God would keep his promise or
not. Oh, I pray you, doubt him no longer! Please not Satan, and vex not
yourself by indulging any more those hard thoughts of God. Think it not a
light matter to doubt Jehovah. Remember, it is a sin; and not a little sin
either, but in the highest degree criminal. The angels never doubted him,
nor the devils either: we alone, out of all the beings that God has
fashioned, dishonour him by unbelief, and tarnish his honour by mistrust.
Shame upon us for this! Our God does not deserve to be so basely
suspected; in our past life we have proved him to be true and faithful to
his word, and with so many instances of his love and of his kindness as we
have received, and are daily receiving, at his hands, it is base and
inexcusable that we suffer a doubt to sojourn within our heart.
May we henceforth wage constant war against doubts of our God-enemies to
our peace and to his honour; and with an unstaggering faith believe that
what he has promised he will also perform.
"Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.
"

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

[esther2]

Heavenly Father, we thank you for watching over our country during our elections. We lift up to you our men and women in uniform and ask that you would place a wall of protection around them; give them strength that overcomes fatigue, courage that pierces fear, peace that passes all understanding.

We thank you, Lord, for allowing us to live in this beautiful, wonderful, free country. Help us to be citizens that glorify you, while also doing what we can to bring about healing, forgiveness and reconciliation where possible.

Give discernment and wisdom to our President as he forms his new cabinet and establishes priorities. We pray that he would continue to look to you for guidance. Let no weapon that is formed against him prosper, and protect him from physical harm. Bless and protect our President's family, our Vice-President and his family, too.

In your name, Lord, Amen.

Our most Gracious and Kind Heavenly Father, we thank You, Dear Lord, for the many blessings of this day. I join my sisters and brothers in Christ as we gather together to pray for President Bush and our country.

We pray for the safety of our leaders. We pray, Dear Lord, that you would give President Bush the wisdom to lead our great country in the right direction. We pray for his family and thank You for their support of him.

We pray, Dear Lord, for the war we are fighting now. Please be with the many brave men and women as they fight to defend our great country.

We ask these blessings in Your Son’s Precious Name, Amen.

I will pray mightily for our troops who are the best in the world.I hope God protects them and gives them the strength to crush the terrorist all over the world.The Kerry supporters over at the dailykos are showing their patriotism by calling our troops thugs and the Sunni terrorist freedom fighters.This group of liberal shit should be taken out back and shot.The rage I feel when reading their words makes me see red,blood red.

[ohioWfan]

[califamily4W]

Amen!

Meant to post last night but time slipped by, prayed with all.

Looking at the above picture... what an enormous weight he carries... his heart is in his eyes.

God bless and protect our President, our troops. . . our nation.

[ohioWfan]

It's a real challenge to love our enemies, isn't it?

Only through God's grace, and with HIS help can it be done.

Thanks for praying with us.

[ohioWfan]

I agree, califamily.......well said. "His heart is in his eyes."

Thanks for praying!

"For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy..." Ecc:226a

Sovereign Lord God, I glorify You this night, my heart overflowing with love and praise to You, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Please, Lord God, continue to bless President Bush with courage and faith in the coming days, as assaults from the enemy come from all sides. Give him wisdom and knowledge and joy as he strives to lead this country in a righteous and honorable way.

And for our troops in Iraq, Heavenly Father, please continue to go ahead of them and behind them, be their strong right arm. Destroy the wickedness of the terrorists who murder and defile wherever they are. Thou wilt recompense them, O Lord, according to the work of their hands. Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, Thy curse will be on them, Thou wilt pursue them in anger and destroy them, from under the heavens of the Lord! (Lam. 3:64-66)

[glymers]

Holy Father,

One week ago tonight, You performed an amazing act in this nation---one we must never forget. O Father, never let us take Your love and grace for granted; neither let us fail to present grateful hearts to You each day. We feast upon the bountiful blessings You give us and we rejoice that You are the God who answers prayer. We know, Lord, that we cannot repay You for the grace and mercy You have shown toward this nation, but we ask You to help us live lives of obedience to You, that we may bless You. In the Precious Name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

[AgThorn]

In Jesus Name, Amen.
