Almighty Father of Your Children, we exalt Your holy name as we ask Your hand to guide our leaders. We especially pray for President Bush and his cabinet as they set about directing the course of our nation. We do believe we are "One Nation Under God," so Lord we pray that our leaders choose directions that would be pleasing to You.
We especially pray this week for the elections in Iraq, for they will provide the hope of freedom for the Iraqi people, and the beginning opportunity for our military forces to return home. We pray for the families of those military who have recently lost their lives; they are precious to us.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the soon finalization of our hunt for Osama bin Laden and of Musab al Zarqawi, for their murders are many and random, and an affront to Your justice.
We pray in the name of Jesus; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Amen, xzins. Thank you for that wonderful prayer and for your service. We join in your supplication that justice be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
