Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord God will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded;
therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Isaiah 50:7
For the Lord God will help me;
therefore shall I not be confounded;
therefore have I set my face like a flint,
and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
May Your Holy Eyes be upon those who gather here today, Lord, and may Your Ears be attentive to our prayers. We bow before You in praise and adoration for being our Creator, and for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin in lowly humbleness, to live among us, and to die in payment for our sins so that our fellowship with You might be restored. Father, help us to never turn away from that fellowship or allow our lives to be used by satan. Impart to us the urgency of sharing Your love with others, so that more may come to know You and accept Your gift of eternal life.
Faithful God, we know that You long to be gracious to our President and that You rise up to show him compassion. Help him to be patient so that he may receive Your blessings even as he waits for answers to his prayers. We pray that You would grant our President a love for life and a desire to see Your goodness around him. Fill him with the compelling desire to use words that build up, edifying others and encouraging them in their work for the Lord. Fill him with everything he needs to lead the pursuit of peace, not only in this nation, but in the world. Thank you for the courage You have given him to confront the obstacles of freedom---terrorist regimes led by those who hate You and power-thirsty despots who seek only their own gain with no regard for the people whom they lead. In the face of tremendous criticism by the noisy minority of this world, You have caused him to stand tall and strong, knowing that You have made him an instrument of Your peace.
Holy Father, hold fast our military men and women, and provide comfort for them and their families as they spend precious time apart from their loved ones. Lord, please comfort and strengthen those in Iraq and Afghanistan as they endure tremendous trials and help them to be victorious in every venture. We ask for stability and peace during the coming months and we pray that the door would be open for the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their land. Prepare the hearts of all those who do not know You, Lord, that the truth of Your Word may be received and accepted.
Father, we thank You for all that was wrought for us on the cross of Calvary. May all people receive the gift of Jesus Christ and the salvation that He was sent to bring us. Let every heart make room for Him, and may the glories of His righteousness and the wonders of His love be the source of joy for us all. In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and King. Amen.
I join in prayer for President Bush, the Administration, the election and our heroes standing in harm’s way!
And may your prayers be received with joy and answered with the perfect response that can only come from our Savior and King. God bless you, A-G!
Father, we ask You for increased boldness in our brother-President, as his term comes to an end, to provide an environment for Your Word to have free course in our nation and in his sphere of influence. Show him where to plant seeds for a fruitful harvest. Thank You, Sir, in Jesus' name. Amen.
AMEN SISTER AND GRACE TO ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS!
“Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.”
- John 6:37
No limit is set to the duration of this promise. It does not merely say,
“I will not cast out a sinner at his first coming,” but, “I will in no
wise cast out.
“ The original reads, “I will not, not cast out,” or “I will never, never
cast out.
“ The text means, that Christ will not at first reject a believer; and
that as he will not do it at first, so he will not to the last.
But suppose the believer sins after coming? “If any man sin we have an
advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” But suppose that
believers backslide? “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them
freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
“ But believers may fall under temptation! “God is faithful, who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
“ But the believer may fall into sin as David did! Yes, but he will “Purge
them with hyssop, and they shall be clean; he will wash them and they
shall be whiter than snow”; “From all their iniquities will I cleanse
them.
“
“Once in Christ, in Christ for ever,
Nothing from his love can sever.”
“I give unto my sheep,” saith he, “eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” What sayest thou
to this, O trembling feeble mind? Is not this a precious mercy, that
coming to Christ, thou dost not come to One who will treat thee well for a
little while, and then send thee about thy business, but he will receive
thee and make thee his bride, and thou shalt be his for ever? Receive no
longer the spirit of bondage again to fear, but the spirit of adoption
whereby thou shalt cry, Abba, Father! Oh! the grace of these words: “I
will in no wise cast out.”
