As we enter this week of Thanksgiving, we thank You for the privilege of coming to You in prayer this day. So many blessings have been heaped upon our heads, and we lift up grateful hearts to You for Your loving kindness and Your everlasting faithfulness. Father, You alone are worthy of praise, and we exalt Your Holy Name.
Father, You have guided Your flock from age to age. We know that Your mercy will not fail us, for Your right hand is always there to help us. You gently bear us in Your hands and You rescue us from the plots and schemes of the enemy. You are our shield and defender. Mighty are You, our God.
Father, we ask that You would strengthen our President each day so that he is filled with all the fullness of Your love. You have prepared him throughout his life for this time, this place, and this responsibility. His leadership and strength must now come from Your hand. He is Your child, but he has been placed in a position in which the weight of the entire world is on his shoulders. We know that You will not fail him, Lord. Keep him on the right path so that his feet do not slip. If his feet do slip, hold him up by Your tender mercy. Let him never stray from Your teachings, but help him always to keep Your charge to walk in Your ways. May he never attempt to carry the burden of his position by himself, for we are confident that You bear it for him. Help him always to lift up his eyes unto You, our Lord, from whence comes his help. Give him the courage to recognize his own limitations, but help him to know that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Enable him to raise up for himself treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust will corrupt. Thank You for the wisdom You have given him in this fight against terrorism. Please continue to give him bountiful vision as he works with advisors to deal with the problem of illegal immigration, and place in him the desire to please You, to honor You, and to bring glory to Your Holy Name in every decision he makes. Father, be his shield of protection while he is in foreign lands and bring him safely home at the appointed time.
O Lord, the treachery and uncertainty our military men and women deal with on a daily basis is tremendous. Only You can be their strength. We confess that You hear our prayers for them, Lord, and that Your hedge of protection is around them. Just as you protected the mighty armies of David and Joshua, so also will You protect these unsung heroes who are serving their nation with tremendous bravery and courage. We thank You, Father, for the unselfish love that these young men and women display for their country. Please grant the people of Iraq their own desire to defend the freedoms that have now been won for them.
Mighty God, what a blessing it is to know that You do not change. Create a desire in the hearts of Your people to return to You, Father, for the hope of this nation is You. Help each of us this day to give more love to You, the Source of all love. Let us whisper Your praise as we go about our work, and enable us to see the beauty of the earth that You have given us to enjoy. We thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your only begotten Son to die for us, and we rejoice in the promise of life everlasting with You. In the Name of Jesus, our Savior, our King, Amen.

Lord, please place your cloak of protection around our beloved President and his family. We especially pray for his safety during this period of travel and heightened danger. Allow our President and First Lady to arrive home safely. We pray for the safety of our fighting men and women everywhere and for those who are ill and in grief, that they may find comfort. May they all feel and experience the comfort of the prayers of those who care about them and of your abiding love. Amen

A HEARTFELT WISHES TO YOU AND YOURS THIS THANKSGIVING!
Ps 115:1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.
2 Why should the Gentiles say, "So where is their God?"
3 But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see;
6 They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell;
7 They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat.
8 Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, Both small and great.
14 May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!
(NKJV)

Ro 8:20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(NKJV)
"The power of his resurrection."
- Philippians 3:10
The doctrine of a risen Saviour is exceedingly precious. The resurrection
is the corner-stone of the entire building of Christianity. It is the
key-stone of the arch of our salvation. It would take a volume to set
forth all the streams of living water which flow from this one sacred
source, the resurrection of our dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; but to
know that he has risen, and to have fellowship with him as such-communing
with the risen Saviour by possessing a risen life-seeing him leave the
tomb by leaving the tomb of worldliness ourselves, this is even still more
precious. The doctrine is the basis of the experience, but as the flower
is more lovely than the root, so is the experience of fellowship with the
risen Saviour more lovely than the doctrine itself. I would have you
believe that Christ rose from the dead so as to sing of it, and derive all
the consolation which it is possible for you to extract from this
well-ascertained and well-witnessed fact; but I beseech you, rest not
contented even there. Though you cannot, like the disciples, see him
visibly, yet I bid you aspire to see Christ Jesus by the eye of faith; and
though, like Mary Magdalene, you may not "touch" him, yet may you be
privileged to converse with him, and to know that he is risen, you
yourselves being risen in him to newness of life. To know a crucified
Saviour as having crucified all my sins, is a high degree of knowledge;
but to know a risen Saviour as having justified me, and to realize that he
has bestowed upon me new life, having given me to be a new creature
through his own newness of life, this is a noble style of experience:
short of it, none ought to rest satisfied.
May you both "know him, and the power of his resurrection.
" Why should souls who are quickened with Jesus, wear the grave-clothes of
worldliness and unbelief? Rise, for the Lord is risen.

Lord, may all of us take an example from our brave brothers in the field. May we take every precaution, but then may we face the enemy courageously, not hindered by fear of incoming from any direction at any time, but trusting the Spirit of the Lord to raise a standard against the enemy's flood. And let us see the battle through to victory, for the battle rages for each one of us just as surely as it does in Falujah. May each one hold his position, uplift his brothers, and in all things be true to his pledge to our God.
And may You be glorified therein. For You are not a respecter of persons, You delight not in the legs of man. No, You who dwell in the high and holy places grant favor to him of contrite heart, who trembles at Your word.
Each one then is a president, a ruler, and at the same time also a servant. We have become kings and priests, and have been made friends of the great King. As Your regents, may we comport ourselves in a way worthy of our exalted position, in all purity and wisdom and courage. For You are worthy of all praise and honor.
Thy glorious will be done, to the glory of Jesus.
Amen to your beautiful prayer, my dear sister in Christ, Faith.
Dear Lord, we now thank you for bringing President and Mrs. Bush back to Texas to their loving home in Crawford. We pray, Dear Lord, that they will get some much needed rest. We pray they will have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Dear Lord, we pray for our brave military men and women who are away from their families this Thanksgiving week. We pray for their families who are missing them. Dear Lord, may they always know that we love them and have a special place in our hearts for them.
We ask these blessings in Your Son's Precious Name, Amen.
Our Precious Lord, we bow before you humbly, awed by Your grace and majesty. We love you so much and thank you for loving us. Thank you for protecting our beloved brother, President Bush, during his recent trip to South America and home again. Thank you for keeping his father in safety. Lord we ask that our President would live only to serve You and do Your will. Please give him wisdom, especially when dealing with Israel. Let him always be a friend to Israel, for it is the apple of Your eye. Lord, also give him wisdom in the days ahead as he will be nominating judges to SCOTUS. May he always seek Your will in prayer for these important events. We love You and praise You, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
