Dear Lord, we ask also that President Bush might understand Your ways, and submit his own personal ambition and innermost thoughts to You, and to You alone. Overwhelm him with a sense of Your presence in his life, and give him the strength he needs to accomplish the things which You have put him in office to do. Keep him deep in Your word and in prayer, so that he might walk in Your way, and have thoughts that come directly from You. We continue to pray that You will keep him safe from harm, for we know that there are many who plot against him, and those in his family. We ask for protection of Laura, Barbara and Jenna, and their extended family, and ask that You might bless them in abundance. Help them each to grow in love, and in the knowledge and wisdom that comes from above.
Lord, we also continue to pray for our soldiers, sailors and airmen who serve in harm's way, and ask that You place a shield of protection over each one of them. Grant them comfort and peace and freedom from all fear, and help them to understand that, despite what they might hear in the mainstream media, that they are doing something honorable and good, and that the American people support them, honor them, and most importantly pray for them. Be with families waiting anxiously at home, heal those who have been injured, and wrap Your arms of love around the families of those who have fallen, that they might have a peace that only You can give.
Lord we pray for this great nation that You have blessed with such abundance. We pray that we might become a nation once more that honors Your law and Your truth. We pray for the families of the judge and the two other victims of this tragedy in Georgia, that there might be swift justice for the killer, and great comfort for those who have suffered this great loss. Lord, we continue to pray for Terry Schindler Shiavo, that You would intervene and that her life may be spared from a brutal, painful murder. We continue to pray with fervency that we might once again as a nation honor life. Lord, we beg Your forgiveness for any apathy that we might feel, and for not standing up as much as we should to protect the lives of the weak and the preborn. Grant us mercy, O Lord. Hear our prayers and bless us in the name of Jesus, who is the Lamb of God, slain for us, Amen!
Please join us in prayer today for our President and First Lady, for our troops, and for this nation!
If you pray, make it short and sweet. A good example is the prayer that Christ taught us. Not many words; just the right ones.
Praying your prayer aloud in agreement with you, ohio. Thank you for your expressions of faith, concern, and hope.
