O LORD, the king rejoices in Your strength.
How great is his joy in the victories You give!
You have granted him the desire of his heart
And have not withheld the request of his lips.

Psalm 21: 1-2

When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. - Pr 11:10

Lord, Your faithfulness amazes me. To actually see the tide of battle turned by Your hand is an awesome thing.

The American people chose George W. Bush yesterday, and what's more, they chose him for the right reasons. It was not because he's a great debater, or a natural speaker, but rather for the character, values and vision he holds with obvious integrity, that he won a strong plurality. In sum, this election glorified not man, but You. Hallelujah!

Which brings me to my problem: I don't have nearly enough faith. But the good news is that You use circumstances like the one we just passed through to give us our hind's feet and set us on our high places. Please continue to do exactly that for Your church, until we attain to mature Christlikeness. We want to be closer and more pleasing to You, and we want to be more effective.

And what a joy it has been to see Your church regularly come together, with all its diversity of giftings, to edify itself in You. This too is Your explicit will for us, and it is our delight to see it come to pass.

Important as it is, what we have achieved today is one milestone among many in our continuing journey. You have extended mercy and grace when we asked for it, and now it is incumbent upon us to move forward. The president has a mandate and bold plans, but resistance is sure to be great.

This year will be known as the one in which Old Media died. They have lost virtually all credibility. But the problem is they will not admit it yet, and are sure to fight to hold onto their ability to shape worldviews.

The leaders of the Democrat Party, which has aligned itself with abortion, sexual license, and group entitlements, will also cling to their personal power, though to do so is destructive not only to their Party but to the nation as well.

The terrorists in Iraq have seen the handwriting on the wall, but we can expect them to fight on for a season out of sheer desperation.

So though we have made great progress, we will have much to do. The work progresses at all levels, from the Oval Office to the children's bedside prayers. Help us to remain faithful, each at his own station, to keep Your kingdom moving forward.

Please protect the president and all near him, physically and spiritually.

Please guide our troops to great success. Comfort all who have suffered loss.

Continue the Holy Spirit's work in hearts, to melt resistance and to lead to repentance and salvation. Keep working all things for the good; bring the world to great revival.

Thank you, Lord, for all Your goodness toward us. Most of all, thank You for Your Love, for Jesus' redeeming Sacrifice, and for the precious Gift of the Holy Spirit.

Father, thank you for shining your light into the hearts and minds of millions of people to carry President Bush to victory.

Thank you for the gift of your guidance to President Bush; thank you for inspiring him to be such a decent man, a loving husband and father, and a strong leader.

I pray that the President's opponents will reflect on their loss and come to understand why they were defeated. Their intentions and their methods were contrary to you and your laws.

Thank you Lord for the mercy you have shown this nation.

Amen

We must pray for those who have made themselves our enemy because they oppose God's laws.

Thank you for reminding us of that!

Job 42:1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
2 "I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.
3 You asked, 'Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, 'I will question you, and you shall answer Me.'
5 "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.
6 Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes."
(NKJV)

Beautiful prayer, dear sister Ohio.

Most Merciful Master,

We come before You with Rejoicing hearts this day, our hearts bursting with Gratitude and Praise for the Incredible Gift with which You have Graced us. You have Granted to us the One Thing that we as an ungodly Nation did not deserve: a man after Your Own Heart, Given to us through Grace, to Rule over America in Righteousness and Truth. We Worship You, Dearest Master, for taking Pity on Your cherished ones, for not suffering us to labor beneath the ungodly rule of a man of Belial! You have spared us many things, by Your Mercy alone, including several wicked Supreme Court Appointments our adversary would have gleefully made. How can we Thank You enough, O God Who has Compassion upon Your sheep? Thank You from our souls for sparing us four years of unimagined, untold horror and ungodliness!

Our Powerful Sovereign, we joyfully lift our brother-President before You now, Thanking You, Sweet King, Praising You for not taking him away! On our faces, we will Adore Thee for Thy Goodness to us all; how Marvellous, our brother is still our cherished President! May Your Spirit of Righteousness, Wisdom and Discernment fill Him anew; may his Blessings be Abundant, and his Godliness only Increase. Cause Him to walk every moment in the Strength of our God, that he will be Invincible in the Power and Might of the Highest. And fill his enemies, Al Quaida, with the Fear of Great Jehovah, that they will know that the God of George Bush is the True and the Only God.

O Commander of Heavenly Armies, Impart Divine Power to our Military, Securing them from all evil, and Enfolding them in Your Grace. We Plead Your Sovereign Protection over them, over our President, and over our Nation, and we ask for Your Salvation to come soon to Your beloved People of Israel. We Worship You, Royal Master, and Give Thee the Glory due Thy Name, and we pray in that Dear Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
