We bless You, O Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Help us to be still and know that You are God. You shall be exalted among the nations; You shall be exalted in the earth.
O God, You know the sin and foolishness of this nation, and our guilt is not hidden from You. Help us to confess our sins, Lord, and to seek Your forgiveness. For You, O Lord, have said, "Come now, let us reason together. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." According to Your loyal love, please remember us for the sake of Your goodness, O Lord.
Like Josiah, may our President do what is right in Your sight, O Lord. Help him to walk in all the ways of David, not turning aside to the right or to the left. May he turn to You with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, in accordance with all of Your Word. Help him to speak the truth to others and judge with truth and justice. Help him to walk before You and be blameless. Please give him great endurance and patience with joy. Help him to never fear his adversaries, but instead let him remember You, the One who is great and awesome.
Holy Father, we hold up to You all the judicial nominees who have been sent to the Senate committee by President Bush. We ask You to move in the hearts of the senators to allow these nominees to come to full senate vote. Tear down the strongholds that exist in the committee members who persist in blocking the reasonable consideration of these nominees. Hear our prayer for the future Supreme Court nominees also, Lord. Please give us men and women who are obedient to You and who seek to preserve the freedom and liberties afforded us by our Constitution.
Since Your day, O Lord, will come like a thief, what kind of people should we be? In holy conduct and godliness we are to look forward to Your coming day. According to Your promise, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth where righteousness will dwell. Therefore, since we are looking for these things, may we be diligent to be found at peace with You, pure and blameless before You. Hear our prayers until that glorious day, Dear Lord. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.
Father I ask that you give truth and perspective to Congress concerning the judicial appointments. O Lord, do not allow the enemy to blindfold the judges of this nation! Expose darkness, hard-heartedness or unfairness where it exists. Bring to us true justice, that our congress and courts will do for this country what they were designed to do.
We need you every hour. Thank you Lord, for being here. Greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world.
In Jesus' Name.
