Heavenly Father, your Word is very clear; we are to "pray for the peace of Jerusalem" and you have promised to "Bless those who bless Israel" and "curse those who curse Israel".
Lord, in order to fulfill these injunctions I have one and only one prayer request for our President:
Open His eyes to the truth, help him to once and for all realize that Israel's enemies are America's enemies. Work in his heart to FINALLY STOP listening to the likes of Colin Powel who today begged the terrorist Arafat to work to stop the violence (he himself has instigated) in order to salvage the "Road Map to Peace". Father this is something we as a nation and he as our President would NEVER do with Bin Ladden and his ilk.
Lord God, instead of encouraging Israel to "maintain restraint", lead President Bush to set Arial Sharon and Israel free to defend themselves; to utterly destroy these Islamic savages, these killers of innocent women and children, these depraved men who follow and serve an evil, wicked, bloody god; whose stated goal is the utter destruction of Israel, the apple of your eye.
Convict our president that it is the height of hypocrisy to take the stand he has undertaken. We cannot fight and kill terrorists and defend our own nation from those who have brutally slaughtered our citizens and who threaten our very existence while at the same time forbidding Israel from doing the very same thing. Until our president does this; we as a nation are under your curse and will continue to be guilty of supporting the destruction of Israel all in the name of a roadmap to peace.
This is my only request, in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, amen
