14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.
Blessed are You, O Lord God of our fathers and greatly to be praised and glorified forever. Father, You are a refuge for all people, and we who know Your name put our trust in You; for you, Lord, do not forsake those who earnestly seek You.
Our thanksgiving is lifted to You again this day for providing another successful and safe week for President Bush. We return to You with thanks and praise for the wonderful ways You are working through him. We thank You for helping him make tough decision regarding cabinet positions and the economy. We ask that You convict the hearts of our new Congressmen and Senators to give President Bush the support needed for the proposals that You will lead him to present. Stir the hearts of the American people to get involved in their government, to call their representatives, and to be a part of the rebuilding of the original intent of our founding fathers.
Father, we pray that You would provide rest for the Bush family. Reach out to President Bushs heart as he spends time with You, Lord, and give him the blessed assurance that he is one of Your flock. Father, you have promised to be near to all those who call upon You. Please let Your Spirit surround President Bush, Laura, and their daughters; and stir them to spend time together with You in prayer.
Again we lift up the U.S. Senate election in Louisiana that is taking place today. Father, You know the hearts of these two women. Please convict the people of Louisiana to vote for the candidate who will seek to protect Your most innocent creations and will stand strong for legislation that honors You. Please let Your will be done in this election.
Our God of mercy, You work in the hearts of Your people to pray. Send forth to us this day those who are thirsty for prayer and who seek a body of believers to agree with as we lift up our supplications to You. Let us gather together to call upon Your highest blessings for our nation and for our President that we may be restored as one nation, under God. Thank You for Your faithfulness, Father. Thank You for the gift of the Christ Child in Whose name we pray. Amen.
Bless our President Bush with wisdom, courage and patience as also his administration. May Thy will be done and not ours, in Jesus name we pray
