Dear Heavenly Father, we praise You tonight that You are our Rock and our Salvation, our Fortress in which we can take refuge. Lord, we thank You that we are not 'in charge' of our lives, but that we can rest in You, in Your Love and Sovereignty.

Lord, we give You thanks that President and Mrs. Bush have arrived safely home after their trip to South America. We ask that they might find their rest in You alone, and that they might be refreshed and renewed over this Thanksgiving weekend, and have a blessed time together with their family. We ask continued wisdom and discernment for President Bush, that he might be able to tell which path You would have him take for his life, and for the life of this nation. We pray that You would guide his steps every day, and keep him faithful in Bible study and prayer. Surround him with Your presence that he might grow in faith, in purity and in love as he serves You and America. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit that he might reflect Your love to those around him, and give him opportunities to share the Gospel of the love of Your Son, Jesus with those he meets.

Father, we continue to pray for Laura, that You would bless her and fill her with joy, and pray for their marriage that it might remain strong and centered in You. Bless Barbara and Jenna as well, and help them to mature in faith and wisdom as they learn to live for You each day.

Lord, we bring before You our troops serving in distant lands, knowing that there is pain in the separation from family during this Thanksgiving weekend, and as Christmas approaches. Give them comfort and peace that will lessen their loneliness during these days, and be especially with their families at home as well. Lord, we continue to pray for their protection and strength as they endure difficult and dangerous situations. Be of comfort to the families and loved ones of those brave troops who have fallen, and bring strength and healing to those who have been wounded. We ask for a swift and sure victory over the evil enemy they are fighting.

Lord, we also pray for America, and pray fervently that we would once again become a nation that honors You as it honors life and morality. We know that we are involved in spiritual warfare for the soul of America, and we know that we must be faithful in prayer for the hearts of its people, but we also know that the battle belongs to You, O Lord, and we ask that we might seek Your way in everything we do. Help us to be a sweet fragrance to those in need around us, and share Your love with friends and family who need to know You. We thank You for this wonderful country, its abundant blessings, and the freedom we enjoy to speak, to live, and to worship as we see fit. We ask that we might always be mindful that every good and perfect gift comes from You, dear Father, and we bring our prayers to You in the Name of Your precious Son, Jesus. Amen.

Dear God,

I pray for my good childhood frien Kevin Nave (nah-veh), who died before our brave troops ever reached bahgdad. He left behind a loving wife, and a two children less than five years old. A true American, to put himself before so many others.

I know our President has God on his side. He will win against the faithless, the homeless, the Godless. He will win against those looking for a handout rather than a hand-up, and he will make America stronger with the help of a Christian Congress.

I hope my friend Kevin is smiling up there -- no, LAUGHING -- up there while he looks down on us, knowing that the best is yet to come, and his loss was not forgotten among us all.

Heavenly Father, we return with hearts of praise for the mercy that has overshadowed our beloved President and First Lady while on foreign soil. Our hearts were anxious, O God, for their safety and wellbeing, for many there are who wish him gone. Thank You that You showed Yourself in every circumstance, giving wisdom and authority to President Bush to speak and act in seemly ways. His love for You is genuine ... his love for his family is genuine ... his love for country and its people is heart warming to behold. We covet his safety in all ways, O God, such is our love for this one who is in authority over us.

Be especially near our beloved sons and daughters who serve their country in all parts of the world ... great is our love for them and great is our sadness in separation. Cause the days to move swiftly for those who await a loved one's return ... bring back the valiant warriors that we might make known our grateful hearts, for their service has brought liberty and freedom to millions. You are a God most merciful to grant us warriors such as these, whose purposes are noble and true.

We offer praise and thanksgiving to You, Eternal God, for the bounty that is these United States. You have poured out Your riches upon us ... we are without merit, yet You have entrusted us with so much. We seek Your guidance and wisdom, that others might be blessed in our stewardship. Show Yourself to the world as Creator and Sustainer, the Author of Righteousness, and may the world's citizens seek to know You as Lord and Savior. May it be thus, O God, may it be thus, in the Name of Jesus, Amen ...

Lord, I praise You for all that You are doing in these turbulent times. The mountains are shaken, the mighty have fallen; the righteous rejoice in Your faithfulness.

For no matter the circumstance or the trial, You will see us through. Your desire is to give us victory in all things.

The political establishment is shaken. The media is shaken. Academia is shaken. Deeply embedded tyrants are shaken. The corrupt community of nations is shaken. Evildoers everywhere are suddenly fearful for what could come upon them.

Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The Lord resides in His heaven, and laughs at them.

Father, You called Your people to pray, and we have done so. It is our joy to see fruit for our labors, to Your glory. We ask for more love, more power, more understanding, more wisdom, more anointing. For much is left to do.

Forgive us as we forgive, even as we do not excuse, but rather expose, unrighteousness. Send Your Spirit to inhabit our praises, for Your joy is our strength. Move Your people forward as a mysterious, mighty army of Light, to do awesome exploits in Your name.

Enbue our leaders with new vision and authority, to bring us into line with Your perfect will for our time. Protect and guide all who seek to serve You by serving others, particularly our noble troops, from whom we take inspiration.

Dear LORD, Please protect our President and his family. Please protect the Vice President and his family. Please forgive President Bush for the mistakes he has made. Please give him wisdom in his inner parts and guide him and direct him into all truth. Please surround him with righteous advisers. Please help him to seek you in spirit and truth and illuminate his reading of your Holy Word, the Bible. Thank you so much for letting us have him for President again. Please use him to promote righteousness in this land and in the world. Help him to help others. Thank you LORD for all your blessings, In Jesus Holy Name, Amen

Let the Name of the Lord be Blessed forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to You! And it is You who changes the times and the epochs, You who removes kings and establishes kings, You who gives wisdom to wise men, and knowledge to men of understanding...to Thee, oh God of my father's, I give thanks and praise...

Thank you Lord for once again establishing the presidency of George W. Bush. Give him please the wisdom and knowledge as you promise. Let Your praise and worship forever be on his lips. Let him always seek to do Your will!

Lord we pray for the situation in a California public school where the Declaration of Independence has been banned because of the mention of Your holy Name! We pray that this evil would cease and that the blind people who promulgate this wickedness would come to their senses and repent of this sin. Lord we also pray for the little children there who witness this spiritual battle, protect their little minds and hearts and may they all come to You! Lord, have mercy on this nation. Bring repentance here, Oh God, may our precious nation not fall any further from You.

We ask all in the Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, Amen

Dear Heavenly Father,
Please protect our President and the Secret Service who guard him. Please see that any who can do him harm are exposed and stopped.
Thank you for the exposure of the plot to hijack airliners and use them to bomb financial buildings near Heathrow airport in England. Praise and gratitude for Your continued love and help.
Also I ask a special blessing on our President. Please grant him wisdom and patience and humility in the months ahead.
We ask also for your protection for Prime Ministers Alawi and Tony Blair and Berlusconi, and grant them also wisdom for the months ahead.
In Jesus' precious name we pray.

"Soldier's Prayer"
Psalm 91

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in
the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare and from
the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings
you will find refuge;
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence
that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may
fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not
come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes and see the
punishment of the wicked
If you make the Most High your dwelling - even
the Lord, who is my refuge
then no harm will befall you, no disaster
will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you to
guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands, so that you
will not strike your foot against a stone.

you will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will
trample the great lion and the serpent.

"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be
with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him and
show him my salvation."
Amen
God Bless America and President Bush
