Dear Lord, we thank You for a President who also knows You as Lord and Savior, and we ask that he might leave all of his burdens upon You and might rest his soul in Your love. We pray that he would be granted wisdom and discernment in every decision, large or small, which he must make; that he would be planted firmly in Your word and be in constant prayer, and that he might rest in the knowledge that You are protecting him and guiding him through days of difficulty and challenge. We ask that You would be a blessing in his life, and in Laura's as well, Lord, and ask that You would grant them both safe travels, and that You would keep them both in prayer and study so that they might reflect Your love to the thousands of people with whom they come in contact. Bless Barbara and Jenna, dear Lord, and help them to grow closer to You, and to mature in depth as young women who have yielded their lives to You.
We pray a special prayer of thanksgiving today for the rapid recovery of Harry Whittington, and thank You for the fact that he was strong and well enough to address the American people, and even to convey his sympathy for what Vice President Cheney has had to endure this week. Lord, we confess that our anger flares and our patience grows thin with the attacks on the Vice President and the President from the left. Lord, if it be Your will, we pray that they would be silenced, and that the evil that they speak would be stopped. We pray for the truth to be known to the American people, and that those who believe in justice and righteousness would all be in prayer for the defeat of those who have thrown out values and honesty in their quest for political power. We pray for the Vice President; that his health would be strong and that You would also heal his emotions and the pain from what he has had to deal with this past week. Thank You, Lord, for the service and sacrifice of both our President and Vice President, and protect them both against the arrows of the Enemy.
We pray for our troops, especially those in harm's way, and we ask that You would place a shield of protection over each one of them. Give them courage and confidence, and a sense of peace in knowing that they are doing what is just and good in their missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Be with their families at home, that they might feel Your comforting arms around them.
And finally, dear Lord, we pray for America. Lord, we love this land, and we thank You for all the blessings that You have showered on us as a people - especially the freedom that we have to speak and live, and worship as You have led us to. We pray that we might never take those freedoms for granted, and that we will always know that it is only in You that true freedom is found. We pray all these things in the powerful and loving Name of Jesus, who is the Christ, Amen.
Please join us today as we gather in prayer for our President and Vice President, our troops, and our nation!
Beautifully put, thank you. This thread gives me so much hope and joy.
"Then the priests stood up and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; their prayer came to His holy dwelling in heaven."
II Chronicles 30:27
Heavenly Father, we submit to you our prayers for the emotional and physical well-being of our leaders George Bush and Dick Cheney.
Our hearts are heavy when we see the enormous burdens and challenges these good men face. Help them to know always, even in the darkest hours, that they are following Your call to lead this country and this world. Help them bear lightly the burden that their calling takes on them.
We pray that you will grant us all the will to be grounded in this life and the vision and understanding to see that larger life that awaits.
Amen. God bless President Bush and the First Lady.
Amen, Dear Sister Ohio! Praying your Entire Prayer Out Loud with you, in the Name of our Jesus Christ.
O God, Thou art Awesome Out of Thy Holy Places! (Ps.68:35)
Amen! Father, You delight in carrying our burdens for us and we praise You for taking these tremendous weights from our President's shoulders. Thank You, Father, for Your powerful healing of Mr. Whittington and for granting peace and comfort to both Mr. Cheney and him. Great is Your faithfulness, O Lord. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
