We praise Your Name and thank You for Your mercy and goodness. We are grateful that You have shone Your Light into our lives and revealed our sinfulness to us that we might know of our need for a Savior. We thank You for Your love for us that You would send Your own precious Son to teach us how to live and then to die for our sins. Our words can't express the depths of our hearts, O Lord, but we ask You to take our lives and mold them to Your purposes for the glory of Your Kingdom and the edification of Your people.
Father, we seek Your blessings for President Bush. Keep his eyes stayed on You that he may remain faithful even as he is reviled, sometimes for his open confession of You as his Lord and Master. Let him overcome the lies that are perpetrated against him and let the authors of deception be revealed for what they are. Keep the President strong and steadfast, being led by the hope and joy of his relationship with You. Let no weapon formed against him or his family prosper that they may be safe from harm.
Lord, we always remember those brave men and women who serve our nation in the armed forces. Fortify them with wisdom and courage; give perception to their leaders, both military and civilian, that they may be victorious in the fight against the forces of evil.
Father, we pray for our nation. It seems that more and more of our people are walking in darkness. Many call Your Name and yet lie and do not live by truth; others seek to deny You altogether and to have Your very Name removed from public discourse. There are those who do not revere life and are eager to sacrifice even the unborn to fulfill their dark purposes. We have become a people who seek pleasure more than purity; are driven more by greed than by noble causes; who put self above all else. Lord, we need the renewing touch of Your Holy Spirit in our land, reviving in us a desire to please You and to follow Your commandments. Let those of us who worship You as the One True God be strengthened in our faith and in our walk with You that we might witness to Your mercy, Your goodness, and Your might. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee. ~ Psalms 67:3

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord ("One nation, under God.")
Bless You, our Lord, for being the Inner Guide in all our President's decisions.
We bless You in the name of Your precious Son, Jesus. Amen.
