Dear Heavenly Father, we praise Your Holy Name this day, offering up our prayers as an incense and a pure offering to You, Almighty God, knowing that we are unworthy to approach Your throne. And in knowing that, we confess our sins to You, pleading the blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son, for the forgiveness of our sin. We thank You that, as we approach this Holy Season, we can have full assurance of that forgiveness because of Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, and His Resurrection.

We bring before You once again, our President and brother in Christ, George W. Bush, asking that You guide and direct him in all things; not only those things that are important for his own life, but for those things which are critical to the life of this nation. We ask that he continue to stay in Your word, and humble in prayer before You, and that he would be listening for Your voice amid the many words of advice that come to him. We ask that he might be given wisdom far beyond human understanding to continue the fight against those who would destroy us, and for the many issues that affect us here at home in every way. We ask that You protect him from his enemies, foreign and domestic, and that You would bless his life abundantly, and continue to give both him and Laura great peace and joy and love, for each other, and for You.

We pray, O Lord, for our military who are in harm's way, asking you to cover them with Your protection. We thank You that the numbers of casualties are coming down, and we pray that those who have been wounded would be completely healed, and that the family members and loved ones of those who have fallen would be comforted. We pray for a swift victory over the evil foe that they fight in both Afghanistan and in Iraq, and in both those countries, dear Father, we pray that they might have true freedom, and that the Gospel of Your Son, Jesus would be freely proclaimed. Move in those lands, dear Lord, for we know that nothing is impossible with You.

We pray as well, dear Lord for our nation, thanking You that You have so richly blessed us. We ask Your forgiveness for where we have fallen far short of Your glory, and ask that You would direct all our leaders in a path that is pleasing to You. We pray for Tom Delay today; that You would be with him and give him peace, and that true justice would be done. We pray for our enemies; those who would seek to destroy us physically, and those who would destroy us morally, and ask that they might come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We thank You, Lord for our freedoms and for the abundance we live in. We so often take it for granted, but we acknowledge today, that everything we have is a gift from You, and we thank You with all our hearts. May You receive all the glory for what is said here, and we ask that You bless this time of prayer and worship. In the Name of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, we pray, Amen!

Thank You, Father, for giving Your angels charge over our President yesterday as he appeared in such an open setting to throw out the first pitch on opening day. Thank You for the cheers of support and appreciation he received from the fans and for the positive, uplifting attitude he showed toward everyone he met. We are grateful for our President, Father, for we see Your love in him; and we pray for Your goodness and mercy to follow him wherever he goes. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Praying with you Ohio, such a lovely and faithful prayer.

Dear Lord, continue to shine Your light on our nation and our President, George W. Bush. Give us the power to fight our foes and the grace to love them, for that we cannot do without You. Thank you for this thread, for the faithful ones who come to you on our behalf every day. In whatever ways we can make a difference, let us always remember that to You and only you, be the glory.

Amen

The following is a prayer a dear friend wrote for me when I felt like "if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." He reminded me that Guardian Angels loved to be asked to help. Feel free to copy and use this for yourselves.

(FF, this is the kick some demon butt prayer I told you about!)

At this moment, as I say the prayer, I'm asking President Bush's Guardian Angel to help him:

Dear Guardian Angel,

My lifelong friend from GOD, I thank you for the countless prayers you offer on my behalf. I give you permission to use all means granted to you by GOD, to protect me from all spiritual attacks and demonic influences. Unleash your full fury on our evil foe and let me live this day unharassed by the devil’s traps. I ask you to pray I use GOD’S grace to carry any crosses GOD wills me to bear for the salvation of my soul and the betterment of the world. I love you and thank you for all you do. AMEN

I pray every chance for our President for he gives me hope that God is still working inspite of our demonistic democrats. It will be a joyful day when Bush retires, but it will be sad if a demoncrat takes his place. Our republican politicians better start getting their acts together now before 08, or it will be the fall of America!

And this brings me to ask a big favor of everyone. Does anyone have a picture of an eagle with the American flag that hs "Lets Roll" beneath it? I sure would like to have this picture for myself and to use it in memory of my father who passed away last month. Thanks for your help.

[Hiskid]

Amen, Ohio

Father, we are asking and believing for the rise of Your Holy Spirit to overtake our people here and in Afghanistan and Iraq. May the Spirit of Truth lead, guide and convict, may signs follow the Word preached, may Your people walk in the fullness of the inheritance of the saints and make others jealous.

We worship You in the name of our Savior, Jesus.
