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 ...

Amen, Pegita!

Thank You, Father, that our President and First Lady are safely home!

Beautiful prayer!

Amen.

I hope you all and FReepers everywhere have a blessed Thanksgiving.
