Heavenly Father,

We join with our forefathers in acknowledging that without You we would be nothing. All that we have, individually and as a nation, we owe to You. Even as we thank You for Your grace and mercy in the past, we seek Your continued blessings on our nation. We beg for revival and renewal throughout our land that we shall be a culture of life and a people who seek to do Your will, striving for those things which are true and honest and uplifting. Lead us into greater knowledge of You and greater service that Your name might be praised.

Our thoughts are with those in our military who, rather than gathering with family around a bountiful table, are in far away lands. Let them know Your presence and give them strength and courage. We thank You for these troops who make such personal sacrifice to fight the enemies of freedom and light and we pray for their safety and well-being. Comfort their families and feed them with the sustenance of Your word.

Lord, we pray for our President and his family. We rejoice that this good man, who hears Your voice and calls Your name, was re-elected. Guide him in the coming days, filling him with Your wisdom and placing Your will in his heart and mind that he may lead our country as You would have us be led. Hold him and his family in the palm of Your hand and increase their faith in You, showing them how You would have them walk. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Our Gracious Father,

Here we are, our Precious One, Assembling Before Thee to Praise Thy Name! We Celebrate Your Goodness, O Great God, on this Special Day when our Thanksgiving Arises to Thee for the Heaven-Sent Blessings we Rejoice to Receive. O Merciful Master, You are so Good to us! Our Cup Truly Runneth Over! In Blessings both Temporal and Eternal, You have Blessed us Beyond Compare, Beyond what we could ever Merit or Deserve! You Sent Your Beloved Son to Accomplish our Redemption upon the Cross, having Set Your Love upon us in Eternity Past, then You Applied His Death to our Account, Setting us Free because You Paid our Penalty for us! We are in Awe, O God, when we Consider these things, and our hearts are Made to Cry in Praise, "All Glory to the King!"

We Bring our brother-President to You now, Father Jehovah, Thanking You Fervently for Granting his Re-Election, and Pleading that he will be Rested and Refreshed as he enjoys Your Thanksgiving Day at his beloved Prairie Chapel Ranch. May his family be a Comfort and a Blessing to him, and may his guests Behold our Savior in our brother's Radiant Countenance and Godly Deportment. O Lord! My own heart is so Gladdened to think: our brother-President is ours for four more Wonderful years! Thank you, Papa-Father, for Giving us this Joy of Your servant and his family Gathering around our Lord Jesus Christ, instead of the Misery we would have known under John F. Kerry! Thank You, Father! Thank You, O Lord! Thank You from our hearts for having Pity upon Your children!!

O Loving Lord Jesus, Protect our President as You would a Most Valuable, Precious Treasure, for there are many who live to hate him, who long for his Total Physical Destruction. Garrison him, O God our Great King, with the Omnipotent Power of Thy Sovereign Spirit, that he will Walk in the Invincibility of our Lord and our God Most High. Cast Down his enemies before his face, that all will know that the Sovereign Ruler and Master of the Heavenlies has Chosen him, and, from All Eternity, has Loved him.

We Commit our Military into Thy Loving Hand, O Mighty God, Imploring that the Strength of the Lord God of Heaven will Accompany them unto Great Victories, to the Praise and Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Protect them, Sovereign Master, Delivering Diving Justice to satan's servants through the Agency and Instrumentality of the United States Military.

O Father of Mercies, O Thou Who Art the God of All Comfort, Succor and Strengthen every Grieving Soul who has lost a loved one in our War Against Terrorism. Send Thy Sweet Spirit of Peace to them, Thy Arms of Love Ready to Receive every Hurting and Grieving heart.

Thank You for Your Manifold Blessings to our America, Loving God! You are our King, and we Lift High Your Blessed and Holy Name! Receive our Worship, Receive the Honor and the Praise, and be Glorified both now, and throughout the Ages of Eternity to come. We Pray in the Name of our King Jesus Christ, and for the Glory of Your Majesty, amen.

Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest-home;
All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin;
God our maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied;
Come to God's own temple come, Raise the song of harvest-home. (Henry Alford)

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.

Blessings to all from this grateful heart.

AMEN KAYAK AND AMEN TO ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN!

Ps 121:1 A Song of Ascents. I will lift up my eyes to the hills-From whence comes my help?
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He who keeps Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
6 The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in From this time forth, and even forevermore.
(NKJV)

Dearest Lord,
thankyou for this day,this moment and this second.
thankyou for this time Your saints can gather before the majesty of Your throne of grace to send our prayers and supplications to home.
Lord,we pray for all of Your saints,and especially for george walker bush,laura bush,their family and the executive branch.
Lord,as it was in the past as You have taught us through Your word,there are men that do Your work.
we pray that Your grace will guide and strengthen our president in working to make this a more godly nation.
in so doing,Lord we pray this country will be a beacon of light and a testimony to Your geatness across the world.
Lord,we pray for all of the brave defenders of freedom and their families.
Lord,we pray for salvation for those that are not yet adopdted,safety for those in Your hands and infinite mercy for those that are in harms way.



Isa 40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.
29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
(NKJV)


"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might."
- Ecclesiastes 9:10



"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do," refers to works that are possible.
There are many things which our heart findeth to do which we never shall
do. It is well it is in our heart; but if we would be eminently useful, we
must not be content with forming schemes in our heart, and talking of
them; we must practically carry out "whatsoever our hand findeth to do."
One good deed is more worth than a thousand brilliant theories. Let us not
wait for large opportunities, or for a different kind of work, but do just
the things we "find to do" day by day. We have no other time in which to
live. The past is gone; the future has not arrived; we never shall have
any time but time present. Then do not wait until your experience has
ripened into maturity before you attempt to serve God. Endeavour now to
bring forth fruit. Serve God now, but be careful as to the way in which
you perform what you find to do-"do it with thy might." Do it promptly; do
not fritter away your life in thinking of what you intend to do to-morrow
as if that could recompense for the idleness of to-day. No man ever served
God by doing things to-morrow. If we honour Christ and are blessed, it is
by the things which we do to-day.
Whatever you do for Christ throw your whole soul into it.
Do not give Christ a little slurred labour, done as a matter of course
now and then; but when you do serve him, do it with heart, and soul, and
strength.


But where is the might of a Christian? It is not in himself, for he is
perfect weakness. His might lieth in the Lord of Hosts.
Then let us seek his help; let us proceed with prayer and faith, and when
we have done what our "hand findeth to do," let us wait upon the Lord for
his blessing.
What we do thus will be well done, and will not fail in its effect.



C.H.SPURGEON

SOLI DEO GLORIA!

TO THE KING ON THE THRONE AND TO THE LAMB,BE GLORY AND HONOR AND MAJESTY BOTH NOW AND FOREVER AND EVER!
