God Bless YOU!!!!!
Our church will be open all day tomorrow during election day for the faithful to come in and pray for God's will to be done in our choices of leaders. If yours is locked, find someone to open it so you can make this special effort to ask God for His favor.
Great to hear about your group prayer tonight!! Folks, this is where our power is!!!! It is GOD that will do what MAN cannot!! Keep up the praying.
I agree.
Prayers...
I sincerely apologize for what I now consider threadjacking this most important thread. I am in prayer with you all.
Prayed.
Praying!
I join in prayer for our country and for all of these!
singing.." We are one in the bond of the Lord, We are one in the bond of the Lord, We have joined our spirits with the SPIRIT OF GOD, we are one in the bond of the Lord."
Amen!
Thank you *so much* for including my concerns in your prayers. . . our poll workers are all playing an important role, and we don't know where or when the attacks or challenges will come. I told one we were praying for him, and he was genuinely touched, grateful, and thanks you all. :o) ... thanks, and hugs.
Lord, please lift up and reward your faithful servant, George W. Bush, and put a burden on many undecided hearts to do Your will on this day.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
Father, as this day begins, we ask Your blessing and Your peace on us as we come before Your throne with our prayers and petitions and concerns. Thank you for being our Sovereign God and Father.
As final preparations are being made now to open the polls, please be present and give peace to Your children who are working in the polls and in other places today. May Your order and Your goodness prevail over man's evil ways and designs, so that even those who do not call on Your name will do right. Give each person working an unprecedented godly wisdom and need to do only what is right. May any harmful or evil plans be exposed and dealt with, both the small acts and any larger acts that might be planned. Please give comfort, wisdom, and discernment to the workers, and Your peace that passes all understanding in the face of any challenges. I pray this in each precinct of my city, and all cities and counties across Florida and the country today . . . that all is done for good for You.
I am grieved at the lies that have been allowed to stand unchallenged. Please tear down any strongholds of sin and lies! I am grieved at the attempts to divide our communities and our country -- and pray for healing in our land as we turn from our ways and to YOU. May we who love You, love You more -- and may those who do not yet know You, come to know You as a loving Father of peace and comfort in this lost and dying and hopeless world. Be with our President and his family -- keep them all safe and in Your care and always close to You as they seek Your ways and put You first.
We thank you for Your goodness, Your holiness, and the hope we have in You -- and only in You -- through Your precious Son. What a privilege to turn our lives, and this particular day in our lives, over to You! We thank You, we praise You, In Jesus Name, Amen.
O Lord,
Let your hand guide our nation
against the gathering tide of darkness,
especially today
when we choose new leaders.
May the persons chosen
be people after your own heart.
May the voters choose for life,
and goodness
and integrity,
over relativism,
hopelessness,
depravity.
If it is your will,
please bless George Bush's re-election,
and may your mighty hand
protect those who work the polls,
and block all who would disrupt this process.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
Amen and Amen ...
Dear Pegita and others -- what a blessing it was to join you all in prayer, which continued all through Tuesday night. I am thankful to report that things went well here. All were well behaved in the places I was hearing from; things went smoothly; the earlier mix-up was corrected. I am so thankful for that -- and I praise God.
Now -- I'm thinking (God forgive my cynicism) that they will work harder and relentlessly and (can it happen?) even dirtier in '08.
You are wise, cyn, to be skeptical of the enemy ... "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Matthew 10:16. Praise His Name for this worldwide network of prayer ...
