Mighty God and Most Merciful Father, today is a day of great unrest and fear. Please keep Your Divine Hand on us all across this nation and do not allow hysteria to overtake us. satan has set many traps for us, and only with Your help will we avoid them. Calm the fears on Wall Street, reassure our citizens that You are on Your throne in Heaven...fully aware and fully in control of all that is happening. You are the Great I Am, You are the only Living God, in You alone can we place our trust and confidence!

Father, our leaders need the very best intelligence reports, they need Your guidance in how to deal with these global thugs that have terrified everyone. Send our leaders everything they need to make right decisions, decisions that You approve of and sanction. Grant our people victory through You in destroying the evil that places every life across this planet in danger. Cause any attacks against us or our allies to be discovered and foiled before more lives are lost. Continue to make of us one nation, with a collective resolve. Grant courage to all those who are frightened, help us stay the course that we must. Forbid that we as a nation harm or punish unjustly those who are innocent of these murders.

For Your glory and honor I ask these things...through Your Son Jesus Christ...Amen!

Juat shook President Bush's hand; asked him how we can pray for him. He said:

"Keep doing what you're doing, it's working. Pray for my little girls."

Get down on your knees and get busy, Christians!

"The precious promises of our great God are expressly intended to be taken to Him and exchanged for the blessings which they guarantee. Prayer takes the promise to the Bank of Faith and obtains the golden blessing. Mind how you pray. Make real business of it. Let it never be a dead formality. ..."

Ask for what you want, because the Lord has promised it. Believe that you have the blessing, and go forth to your work in full assurance of it. Go from your knees singing because the promise is fulfilled. Thus will your prayer be answered. It is not the length of your prayer, but the strength of your prayer which wins with God. The strength of prayer lies in your faith in the promise which you have pleaded before the Lord.

"God Promises You" by Charles H. Spurgeon

Heavenly Father, remember the cries of the children! So many now without fathers or mothers...and some without both parents! Hear their anguish and grief, My God, and encircle them with Your strong, loving and powerful arms. Cause their relatives and friends to step forward to permanently fill the void left behind by the loss of their parents. Grant your special blessings to these adults, give them wisdom, strength and tenderness beyond what is possible without You...to carry the burden of grieving and questioning children. Fill the hearts of these children with the certainty that You and the angels stand near them always, and let none of these children slip through Your fingers. Father, I ask for the same grace, mercy and protection for that little boy whose picture we have seen. Send him home to be with people who love him and will not abuse him.

Father, I know Your anger is very great against those who have hurt these little ones. Bring the evil people who have inflicted such pain and suffering to swift and terrible justice. Let the world tremble at Your might...and through this, bring us all to a saving knowledge of You! In Jesus' name...Amen!

Father, I just want to thank You for the love and support my brothers and sisters are giving me with their prayers and notes of concern. Please bless each of them in every way for their kindnesses, and take care of every need...no matter how small. Thank you Father! In Jesus' name...Amen!

From the Daily Dose thread:

It certainly heightened my awareness that we need to pray diligently for Barbara and Jenna, as we pray for the President, First Lady, administration and the nation.

Someone on that thread had shaken hands with President Bush today and asked how he could keep praying for him. And President Bush answered "Pray for my little girls."

Like OhioW Fan said over there, even with all the weight on his shoulders he is still their Daddy and they are still his "little girls."

Let's add some extra prayers for him right now.
