Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Thank You for allowing us this time with You in prayer as we gather together across this nation to lift our agreeing petitions to You. We return to You, O Lord our God, for You are gracious and compassionate. You are slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness, and You relent from sending calamity. Father, we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth, and we long for a better country, a heavenly one. We rejoice that we will one day join You in the heavenly city You have prepared for us.
Fountain of strength, be our rock and our high tower in these trying times in the U.S.. We know that Your thoughts are not our thoughts and Your ways are not our ways. We know that if we were able to understand everything through Your perspective, then You would cease to be God, for Your wisdom is eternal and Your vision of the entire scenario is only seen by You. Therefore, we must trust in You, Great God, to use the terrorist threats for Your glory, and to make good come of it for those of us whose eyes are upon You.
We lift up to You our military men and women and we thank You for the service they provide to each of us. Thank You for those who have gone before them and have died for the freedoms which we enjoy in this nation. Strengthen those who defend us now, Lord, and draw each of them into a close and personal relationship with You. Teach them to rely upon You for their every need.
Fortify our President with Your strength and courage, Gracious Lord. Let there be no doubt in his mind that many of the nation’s citizens are praying for him, and let him feel that unmistakable buoyancy of knowing that he has been lifted up by Your arms. Just as Moses and Joshua, David and Gideon were called forth to battle for Your people, You have called forth George W. Bush for this highly crucial battle. We know that when You call us forth, You do not leave us to fight the battle alone. We praise You for all that You are doing in President Bush’s life to enable him to fight the good fight of faith, with wisdom and strength from Your hand. We pray that You would grant him a short season of rest and renewal this weekend, and we ask that You would help him feel a keen sense of Your presence there.
In this hour of trouble, we reaffirm our trust in You. Our help comes from You who made heaven and earth. We know that You who keep us never slumber nor sleep. We place these supplications at Your feet, knowing that You are the God who continues to be faithful to answer us in ways far more wonderful than we can imagine. In the name of Jesus Christ, our King, Amen.
I thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for hearing us, and always caring for all of us. Watch over our nation. Teach the church to hear your voice and walk accordingly. Please protect those who pray. Be a shield about us. I ask it all in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear.
Heavenly Father, I praise and worship You for You alone are worthy. We love you Lord....Adonia.You are exhalted above the heavens and Your glory through all the earth.
Father, I pray for the President tonite that You will be with him, surrounding him with Your protection, and giving him wisdom and clear direction from the Spirit.
Lord, I pray for the fulfillment of Your promise to us as Your people, for the outpouring of Your Spirit. You are exhalted to the right hand of the Father and You received the Holy Spirit to pour out for us.....I plead for that promise fulfilled.We need more power to love You the way You deserve,and to live lives that honor Your name, in Jesus name, amen.
Joining with you in prayer.
We thank You, dear Lord for the goodness You have shown throughout the visits our President Bush has been making through the countries in Europe. We thank You that a peacable solution is being attempted by leader's such as Bush and Putin. Continue to bless them with Your wisdom, courage and patience. In Jesus' name we pray
