Psalm 144

1
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
2
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
3
LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for this Saturday and for Your blessings towards us on this day. I thank You for this nation and the Christian leadership You have placed at its helm. Father, I truly believe You called our President to this position for such a time as this and I pray Father that he will meet his purpose in You. Lord, so much has gone on during the past few weeks. If there was any innocence left in our nation, it has been stripped away. Hearts have been wounded, fear abounds in the hearts of many, and questions remain unanswered. The unfathomable evil which has beset this nation has thrown many to despair, and yet we do not despair. Surprisingly, or perhaps not surprisingly, those of us who know You have a certain peace and assurance knowing You are in control. We know that the worst thing that could happen to us is they strip us of this robe of flesh and we go to meet You, and we know that the evil one and his minions can't even do that without Your permission, so we are calm in the midst of this storm. Thank You Father, for Your peace which passes all understanding!

Lord, I lift up to You President Bush this day, asking for You to assert Your will in His life. He prays to You and seeks Your will, let it be found of him and let it be clear. Father, silence any unwise counsel he may be receiving, and make the voices of those who would lead him astray ineffective. Father, protect his mind, spirit, and body by Your Holy Spirit, and be a help to him during this time of national turmoil. Bless him, and let him be a blessing to this nation through Your Son.

Father, finally, I pray that America will turn from her wicked ways and turn back towards You. We are certainly a lukewarm nation, capable of incredible generosity and incredible evil. Open the blinded eyes of this nation and let us see and obey Your truth. Erase from our national memory the foolishness that humanists and post-modernists have saturated our minds with and replace the evil philosophies with Your truth. Let Your Word become precious to us and Your please our goal. Revive Your church, Lord, and glorify Yourself in this nation. For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the glory forever and ever, in the name of Jesus Christ my Savior I pray, Amen.

There is no fee or obligation. Just sign up and you'll receive a window decal in the mail, plus e-mail updates on the specific prayer needs of the President and his Cabinet.

Mighty God, Everlasting Father,

You have given us who believe exceeding great and precious promises. Help us to continue to believe in the power of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior, that our faith may never be moved. Deliver us, when we draw near in prayer, from coldness of heart and wanderings of the mind. Let our thoughts be set upon You today, Father, as we worship You in spirit and in truth.

We pray, Father, that You would direct President Bush in all his doings during the coming week, and shower upon him Your most gracious favor. Provide him with Your continual help, that in all his works he may glorify Your holy Name. Place in him the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord, that he may come to an ever truer knowledge of You, understanding Your vision for America and the work that You are asking him to do. Reveal to him the best course of action for dealing with Israel, and please heal the rift between him and Prime Minister Sharon. Unite America and Israel in righteous causes, Father. Defend President Bush from all assaults of his enemies and let him not fear the power of any political opponents. Give him a strong sense of inner peace, Merciful Lord, and let his days in the White House be filled with the joy that can only come from knowing You.

We also ask You, Father, to defend us from terrorists who indiscriminately kill and maim. Defend us from those who do the devil’s bidding. Place a hedge about us, Lord, and protect us. Confound the plots and schemes of evil workers and let them be trapped in their own snares. Shower our government officials with Your wisdom to know how to thwart the efforts of those committing terrorist acts.

We praise You for working in the hearts of many Americans during this crisis, Lord, drawing them back to You. We ask You to revive Your slumbering church and to forgive us for attempting to live independent of You. Forgive us for accepting You on our own terms, while ignoring Your terms. Forgive us for hoarding Your Word and not sharing it with others for whom You also died. Help us to turn our full attention to You and seek to do Your will above our own.

We humbly ask You, Father, to help us to pray in a way that will bring Your kingdom to this earth. Let us pray for the perfect day when Your will shall be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Keep us steadfast in prayer, that we may pray without ceasing for the power of Your presence in America. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Guide our President in all ways during these difficult days ahead. Show him Thy truth and Thy strength, and let him lead us unto Thy holy hill. In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen

Arrogant men have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net, by the wayside they have set snares for me. [Selah] I say to the LORD, Thou art my God; give ear to the voice of my supplications, O LORD! O LORD, my Lord, my strong deliverer, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Psalms 140:5-7

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will be our shield and our deliverer in the upcoming battle. Prepare our troops, guide our leaders, and protect our citizens both at home and abroad.

Let you hand be especially with President Bush. Draw him close to you, that he may know the right decision in every situation. Let him timing be your timing. Surround him with those who will give wise council. Protect him, his family, and the entire administration at all times.

I pray for the future of America and Israel. Protect us in the day of battle, and draw our hearts and minds back to your glory and grace. Pour out your Spirit, Lord, and show your power. Let you name be magnified. In the precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord:
and he delighteth in His way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand. Psa. 37:23,24

Joining in your prayer for our President and our Nation.

"May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved and preserved throughout the world now and forever Amen."

We thank President Bush for organizing the greatest coalition of countries to fight the evil, that has made its face appear among us. None are safe from it's tentacles and we pray our President and his administration will staunchly fight against it. It is a monumental task, We pray the Lord be at his side now and forever more. Wisdom, Courage and Patience be granted the President and the coalition..May they help each other and not become a hindrance to one another.

Dear Lord, bless the youth of our nation and the world. In these wicked times they need You more than ever, open their hearts that they may recognize You as their Saviour.......For the souls of the faithful departed 9-11-01 massacre may they rest in peace. For the families, Lord, strenghten their faith, may they never leave Thee....in Jesus name we pray

Father, I want to pray today for the children and teen-agers of this country. The culture in which they have been raised is filled with immorality, foul language and violence. The entertainment they see on a daily basis is sexually explicit and profane.

Lord, President Bush called for a reexamination of our culture. How much we need this, and how I thank You that he is taking this opportunity to bring this great need to the country.

I pray today that there would be a spiritual reawakening in this land such as has never been seen before, and that our children and teenagers might come to You. Open the eyes of parents, not only non-Christian, but Christian as well, who allow their children to see and hear things that violate Your laws, and help them to see that we must change this country from the inside, as well as protect ourselves from outward threats.

Lord, in this war against evil, may we not forget the evil within, and may we be "Christian soldiers" here in our own land, fighting the spiritual warfare being waged against us.

Protect our dear President and First Lady, Father! Thank You for them, and for the work that they are doing, not only for this country, but for Your kingdom. Give them a restful weekend together, where they can take the time to renew their relationship with each other, and with You.

Be especially with our military forces who are preparing for, and are on the brink of battle. Give them peace in knowing that they are fighting a just war against evil. Protect them and comfort them, and their families here at home.

In Christ's strong name, I pray. Amen

Heavenly Father,

I come before You tonight and ask Your mantle of protection upon our President, our troops, and our nation. Foil the plots of those who would do evil. Confuse and confound them, defeat them at every turn.

I pray tonight that President Bush is comforted by Your Holy Spirit, and that You would grant him wisdom, strength, and courage as he faces this terrible burden. Protect him from all who would do him harm. Look after Laura and his family as well, and draw them closer to You. Give all of them the peace that passes all understanding.

You are the Mighty Fortress, God, who never fails us. Grant that we may be Your soldiers in this battle. Give us the patience and resolve necessary for victory.

Lord, I especially pray for our military and law enforcement people tonight. They are working long hours and may be unsure of their value. Encourage them, strengthen them, and keep them safe.

Finally, Lord, You have called us to be Your witnesses on this earth. Help us to stand firm in our faith, speaking Your name without fear, boldly proclaiming the Gospel. Let Your Spirit pour forth and flood this land with the saving knowledge of Your Son, Jesus, the Messiah, in Whose Name we pray,

Amen.

Heavenly Father, I praise You the God who is sovereign in all of life. Thank You for Your love and grace to us.

Father, I pray for the President and cabinet and their families. I also pray for the law enforcement and military who are putting in long hours for our benefit. Bless these people and watch over them, please.

Lord, I pray for the protection of those in our nation, and pray that Your will uncover anything that is hidden. Work in the Muslims to turn them or convict them of their need. And for those with hate may they return to their homeland.

Lastly, Lord please bless all who pray daily here to be filled with Your Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name, Amen,
