Dear Lord, We come to You this day in aware of the momentous times we are in. For our own nation, much is hanging in the balance, with the apparent scales tipping towards judgment. For Your people Israel, there are also great challenges that by conventional wisdom they would not overcome. But wisdom is not conventional. Each time and each event some how fits into Your plan. We know that Israel will ultimately survive and we know that Your people here will be held by Your hand through whatever adversity comes our way. And so, we rest in You.
We pray for the Bushes as they are no doubt beginning to pack up things in the White House after 8 years of trial and trouble. A melancholy spirit might take over them, or that of just fatigue. Lift them up with Your hand and guide them by Your Spirit. And Lord, let them know You as they need to know You for now and for eternity.
I pray for the Israelis and for the Palestinians. The Israelis have a right to live peacefully in the land You gave them. Some Palestinians do not want war. Bless both the Israelis and the peaceful Palestinians while helping Israel to obliterate the terrorists from Hamas, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and other places. I know there won't be ultimate peace until the Prince of Peace comes. But I do pray for the comfort and protection of Your dear people. May they come to know You as their God and may they be Your people.
I ask that You go with us the rest of this day. Be with Free Republic and for those who are so faithful to pray. For it is in Jesus' blessed name that I pray these things, Amen.

Prayers for the President, our Military, and our nation.
Dear LORD, please provide your hand of protection and mercy. Give our leaders wisdom, and instill in them a heart to govern in accordance with Your Will. Make us a people that will walk humbly before you and turn us into a people that will throw down their idols. Revive us again that your people may rejoice in thee.
