I know that the Lord is carrying GW. No doubts about that, and I agree that the "defeated Bush" stance taken in parts of the article is wrong. He's not about to give up, and the Lord does have him.
I just sense, and have sensed for a few weeks that he has something rather heavy on his mind. This article brought that out. It is more than the war. It is more than polls. I don't think it is fear either. But there is a solemnity about him and deep awareness that something very serious is going on . Even in today's presser (which I saw snippets on on Fox News and agree, he is strong) his eyes are sternly serious http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20060821/capt.118ecd73afe3489281800024afc41c0f.bush_whhg104.jpg?x=380&y=264&sig=PdwiJUZmuVoMSBGVxqwUBA-- it hasn't gone away. I think maybe that a couple of weeks ago, around the time of those pictures of him leaving church, whatever has burdened him was discovered. I had never seen him arrive at and leave church with that kind of expression. It disturbed me at the time and I commented on it in my prayer that Sunday.
He stands today that it is the Lord and him for it (which he also knows is enough). The media wants to bury him. He doesn't care about that. The Dems are like parasites wanting to drain him. That's play-time for this seasoned politician - so I really don't think that they are the reason. I think it is something more serious, such as the scenario of survival mentioned in the article, that he is facing and in all likelihood this nation is facing.
GWB is not defeated, but it is the call for even more fervent prayer at this time that I sense to be true. These are perilous times and the world is in quite a disarray. Scary if you didn't have the Lord, which we do, and W does. So, we look to the Lord in confident expectation; and lift up our "Moses" whom God raised up - asking the Lord to strengthen, guide, and protect him as he faces up to these challenges that the treasonous media and Dems refuse to acknowledge.
That's why I also agree that we must pray without ceasing for wisdom and divine guidance for the President.
Few have ever been asked to carry such a great load as this man has. I consider it a kind of 'divine compliment'.........for such a time as this.
May God hide him under the shelter of His wing.
