Prayer thread for election (vanity, sorry)
self

Posted on 11/02/2004 4:07:04 PM PST by calvin sun

Sorry if one exists already. I don't know about you, but right now I literally cannot breathe. My heart is racing and my stomach is stapled shut. We REALLLY need to pray, because even though we don't know the future, God does. So, here goes....

Heavenly Father, we know You are sovereign. We put this election into your hands. Take away the anxiety we all feel, and may You be glorified. We trust that whatever happens will be the best for us. We repent of our sins and pray that would turn and hear us.

In Jesus name amen.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

God bles this beautiful country, Lord Jesus. Give us a reprieve. Put President Bush back in office if it be your will. He believes in you.

Regardless, we maintain our faith in your sovereignty.

This is a beautiful and fascinating prayer thread. Happy to be here. Mine is, Lord Thy will be done.

Just drove from McAlester Oklahoma to my little town in south Texas to get my vote in. (I was visiting family in Missouri).

In this little town of 360 I rushed into the polling place at the last minute. The lady who runs the general store was handing out ballots. "Oh, there you are! We wondered if you'd make it."

The lady I bought my donkey from was a volunteer to bring cold drinks and snacks to the people at the poll.

The man who handed me my ballot was the father of my horseshoer.

As I left I saw the young couple who own the feed store came driving up. I owe them for twenty bales of coastal.

"Get it to us when you can!"

It was a Norman Rockwell kind of evening.

Have faith everyone! There's no way God would allow his humble servant Bush to lose the election, there is too much at stake! This alone fills my heart with peace and confidence in a certain and emphatic Bush victory!

Oh Lord smite those who would vote against your servant Bush and may they be trampled under the feet of your elephants of justice. Here our prayer Lord - we know Bush's mission on earth has four more years to run, we believe!

Amen.

I am not a regular churchgoer, but this election is so important to the future of our county and to freedom in other lands, that if the President wins I will get on my knees and say a prayer of thanksgiving to the Almighty for delivering us from the evil that is John Kerry. As much as any foreign dictator I believe his actions contributed to the deaths of not only our own men during Vietnam, but hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese who died trying to escape or who were killed after the Viet Cong and the NVA took control in 1975.

Heavenly Father, Thank you for the blessings which you have bestowed upon us. Thank you for opening my eyes to the misguided path I was on and bringing me back to a righteous walk.
Watch over our president, family & friends, brave military, and fellow citizens today, and keep them safe from harm and lies. Expose the fraud and deception that is being perpetrated upon our country by the radical left. Let no plot of wickedness and evil intent against our president or his political party go unnoticed.
We humbly ask for your divine intervention in this election so that the vote may be redeemed and George W. Bush, a Godly man, may continue to lead our country back to the path you meant for us to follow. All of this we humbly ask in Jesus' name. Thank you for hearing and answering these prayers. Amen.

Thank you for this thread!

Isaiah 55: 1: Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

2: Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

3: Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

4: Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

5: Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6: Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8: For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

9: For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

10: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

11: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

12: For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

13: Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

My scripture for today has been 2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then brothers, stand firm.

May the Lord be with our nation this night, and may we as a nation respond to his calling!

Amen.

Dear Lord, I unite in prayer with both my brethren above as well as with the others that have both prayed and spoken so beautifully and so well in this thread.

Dear Lord, we are waiting upon You, we thank You that we can come to You in our need and we know You hear us always. We thank You and pray that You have mercy on us and our nation!

Our God and Our Father, we ask you to forgive us our sins and have mercy on our land.

In our human wisdom, we believe that Bush is the man who will lead us as a nation in what your will is.

Please have mercy on us and give us the leader that will cause the people to turn from our wicked ways and seek your face, even if it means a sudden loss to Kerry.

Whoever wins, Lord, please have mercy upon us, and cause us to repent and seek your face early.

Cause whoever is in charge to be faithful to your Word, and faithful to those who are called by your name, and also cause this leader to defend Israel as your word promises blessing to those who Bless the children of Abraham.

Thank you Lord for the freedom and lack of persecution we face here, and cause us to be thankful for what you have done for us.

Cause us to see just how your Hand has guided our nation, and led us through many dark valleys.

Give us victory in Iraq and keep our men and women safe. Give our President wisdom in how to deal with this war. Keep him humble and seeking your will.

Cause us to seek your will, based on what your word, the Bible, says and not on our emotions or sudden feelings.

Have mercy on us Lord, we can so easily stray. Keep is in the paths of righteousness for your Holy name's sake.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Interesting that you capitalize "me" as if you regard yourself as some type of princling or god and if you had any understanding of Christianity beyond the Christian bashing Hollywood movies like "Saved" you would be a Christian.

I take it back, you are too lazy to be a true atheist because you base your beliefs on only the most superficial of glances at all the religions.
