Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that despite the unease that surrounds us, many are they who continue to put forth lifesaving information in places such as this. May each one be richly blessed for their love of country, for their love of the American people, and for their concern for the life and liberty of each other. These are the defenders of faith, home, family, and country who labor on the home front ... may Your hand of protection cover them just as surely as Your hand covers each of our beloved military as they labor on foreign soil.

Heavenly Father, the voices of dissent continually rise within our country ... voices that reveal love of self rather than love of country. Silence these voices, O God, for the enemy hides within the volume of rhetoric. He is planning our destruction while the people are distracted ... he is turning the goodness that is this country into an attitude of shame ... he is saying that Your blessing upon our people is undeserved ... we should be friends with our enemies and enemies with our friends. The sins of Satan abound, O Lord, but greater are You, and it is to You we continually plead for our beloved country. Lead us through the tumult in the days ahead ... we plead Your protection over this administration, for they labor for us and not for self. Stir the people to recognition of truth ... unmask a media that serves power and not the people ... may righteous indignation prevail throughout, for clearly the battle lines are drawn. So great is the power of evil that none can fight it or change it, except You, O God. Go before us, for of ourselves, we struggle. Go before us as Leader, O God, and the victory is won through Jesus Christ. Never take Your hand from us, O Lord, else we perish.

The storm clouds of danger are gathering against us and the enemy is near. May wisdom and discernment fall upon the people that they recognize the danger. May those unseen heroes who gather intelligence, who sift and connect, who direct the response ... grant them total accuracy and total success in preventing devastation. Be the Guardian around the Olympic Games; be the Guardian around the upcoming Convention; be the Guardian of our cities and our shores, our homes and businesses ... our beloved citizens. May our prayers and our tears and our pleadings be a blanket of protection for a way of life founded upon You, for great has been Your blessing, and great has been Your calling upon us that others might share these blessings, and great has been the victory in the liberation of oppressed peoples. May it continue to be thus, O Lord ... may it continue to be thus. For each family who has made this so through the blood of a son or daughter, we bow our heads in tearful gratitude ... just as You gave Your Son for us, so they have given their children for us ... each one has stepped into our place. Help us, O Lord, to do nothing to dishonor You, or them, as onward we go to totally defeat the enemy. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
