We thank You today, our one true God, for being the author of true liberty, freedom, and justice. We know that You have set Your laws and commandments before us, Father, and we praise You for the wisdom and the understanding You gave our Founding Fathers as they established the government of these United States. We commit our nation to You, Lord, asking that You never move Your hand away from us. Please do not leave us to our own devices, but dwell with us always in the Spirit, that America may always be led by Your truths.
Father, please bless our President with far-reaching wisdom. He has asked for our prayers, Father, which means he recognizes that You are the vine and he is a branch. He understands that You are the source of all wisdom. He acknowledges that he needs that which only You can provide. Therefore, we gladly place him in Your arms, Father, and ask You to lovingly provide everything that he needs to do the job You have set before him. Shield him and his family from the devils taunts and schemes. We claim our President for Jesus Christ and we say without wavering that the devil shall not have this man, nor his wife, nor his daughters. The precious blood of Jesus Christ is covering President Bush and his entire household. Father, we praise You and thank You for this leader You have chosen for this time, and we ask You to make his testimonies and witness for You extend beyond the boundaries of America. Let others from all nations understand that he is a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Father, we pray for God-fearing men and women in our government and for the winnowing of those who seek to serve the devil. We ask that You would bless the people of this nation and the nation of Israel with continuous reminders of Your presence. Bless everyone, Father, who seeks to earn an honest living, who lives a life that honors You, who obeys the laws of this nation as well as the laws and commandments You have set before us. For the strength of this nation lies solely in our relationship with You. Strengthen Your remnant, Father. Give us courage to persist in prayer and to continue to lift up our nation and its leaders to You. You are the only wellspring that can provide eternal life through the blood of Jesus Christ. Thank You, Father, for the wonderful gift of salvation that You have offered to all of us.
We praise You for Your faithfulness to us in our personal lives as well as in the 226 years of our nations existence. We pray Father, that in the coming years, America will grow ever closer to You and that souls from all parts of the world may know You through our collective testimony. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
Prayer for the United States:
He who gives victory to kings and dominion to princes, whose reign is a reign for all eternity, who freed David, his servant, from an evil sword, who opened a road through the sea and a path through mighty waters, may He bless, guard, protect, help, exalt, make great and raise on high:
President George W. Bush and the United States of America
May the King of all Kings in his mercy preserve him in life and guard him and deliver him from all distress, from all grief and trouble, may he lead nations to come to his feet; may he cause those who hate him to fall down before him, and grant him success wherever his efforts may turn. May the supreme King of Kings instill compassion in his heart and into the hearts of all his counselors and advisors so that he may deal kindly with us and with all of Israel. In his days and in ours may Judah be saved and Israel dwell securely, and may the Redeemer come to Zion, may this be His will, and let us say, Amen.
Amen.
Joining my prayers in agreement with yours today.
