PRAY for PRESIDENT BUSH - DAY 2000!!!!

In September of the year 2000, this prayer thread for George W. Bush was begun by freeper DittoJed2, who was renewing her Call to Prayer for the nation and the election from March of the same year. It has been posted daily since then, and today we are celebrating the 2000th day of the thread, and most importantly recognizing how God has worked and moved and answered prayers in our nation, and in our President.

We believe that prayer is an essential and Scripturally mandated element of God's working in America, and we are seeking to be obedient to His command to pray for our nation and its leaders.

Scriptural support for the Call to Prayer for our President, and for our Nation (from Pray for President Bush .....)

Prayers for Our Government and Nation

1 Timothy 2:1-4 -I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

2 Chronicles 7: 14 -If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Psalm 33:12 -Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.

General Prayer Scriptures

Jeremiah 33:3 - Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Philippians 4:6-7 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

James 5:15-16 - And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

From the original CALL to PRAYER, posted by DittoJed2 on September 16, 2000.......

When we are in the heat of the battle, and angry at everyone from the Pubs to the Press, it is very easy to get our eyes off of the one to whom the battle belongs. As David said when he faced Goliath, the Battle's Not Mine...It's Yours Lord. We come not with might nor by power but in the Spirit of the Lord. The Battle is His, and the Weapons of His warfare are greater than any that mankind can come up with.

Freepers, this is it. We are quickly winding down to the day of decision. We can do what we can but will go down to defeat if we do not leave it with the Lord. It may be too late anyway, but I choose to press forward, looking to the times in the past where it seemed to be over for a nation and then God stepped in and made all things new.

Until Election Day, I will post a fresh call to Prayer for our nation and for this election. Let's go Warriors, ON YOUR KNEES!!!!!!!!!

What's going on is evil and I guess the Lord is telling us. He is dealing with it. :-)

[ohioWfan]

Amen! God IS speaking to us.......that's for sure.

[Faith]

Faithful God of grace and glory,
Accept our sacrifice of praise
from hearts full of gratitude
for Who You are,
for all You have done.
You have heard the prayers of Your children---
Prayers spoken joyfully in days of plenty
Prayers spoken sorrowfully in times of great need.
We confess that You have answered every one
in ways far more wonderful than we could imagine or think.
Thank You for blessing us with a President
who reveres You, who obeys You, who proclaims You.
Thank You for guiding his steps,
for building Your temple within him,
for changing him from glory into glory.
Our hearts have been nourished by the richness of Your love
and by the precious community of believers
who come together across this nation each day
to lift up our leader and our faithful troops to You.
Our nation is blessed because we acknowledge You as Lord.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all of our lives.
May You alone be glorified both now and ever more.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Thank you, ohio, for calling us to this beautiful celebration of faith. To God be the glory!

[Battle Hymn of the Republic]

yes God is always speaking to us, and the battle is getting more intense in these end times. It's so much bigger than any one person or any political issue.

I feel we need to pray for all leaders, even the worst of the worst...

It's not scripture, but it fits GWB:

"...God will not have His work made manifest by cowards."
-from "Self Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson

[ohioWfan]

Amen, Battle Hymn. We are to pray for all of our leaders, and we are to pray for our enemies.........some are both.

Much harder to do, is it not?

[ohioWfan]

Amen!

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You for Your matchless Grace and Mercy ... it is to You, O God, that we give the Glory, for many great things and wonders You have done for our beloved President and his family ... for this Administration and our countrymen ... for our Sons and Daughters who hold forth the lamp of freedom throughout the world. Accept our praise, O God, from lips made clean by the Holy Spirit ... accept our prayer, O Lord, from hearts sprinkled by the Blood of the Lamb ... accept our love, Merciful Father, from lives lived in Your Power, that others might love You, too.
