For You created my inmost being, You knit me together in my mother's womb.
We know that Your mercy is in the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches unto the clouds. For though the mountains may depart and the hills be removed; You have said that Your kindness shall not depart from Your children. You will not remove Your covenant of peace because You have mercy on those who call You Lord. Thank You for Your amazing grace toward each of us, Father. Thank You for the privilege of being children of the Living God.
We come to You again, Father, to ask You to change the hearts of Americans so that we are no longer able to deny the sin of abortion. Lord, teach us to return to Your laws in which You teach us to build families after marriage between two committed adults. We pray that loving environments would prevail in our nation’s homes and that parents would delight in the gift of children. Father, these little ones are so precious in Your sight. Please let them be precious in our sight as well, and help us to teach them to honor their fathers and mothers, and to be obedient to Your laws. Help us as parents in this nation to teach our children to pray. We ask You to dispel the lies of the Feminists, Lord, who seek to belittle mothers for choosing to stay at home to raise their children. We come against the lie of abortion that has taught women that we should not be "inconvenienced" by the untimely arrival of children. Father, please let our ears be closed to the devil’s deception. Open our eyes and ears to the truth, and let Your will for Your precious creations be known in our hearts.
Lead our President, Father, in the path You want him to take to influence the ending of abortion in this nation. Thank You that he has declared Sunday a National Sanctity of Life Day. Make him a mighty witness for You, Father, and help him and Mrs. Bush to defend the 41 million innocent victims of our own domestic terrorism. Please convict the hearts of the Senate to press forward with their legislation to end the slaughter of partial birth abortion. And please allow the appointment and confirmation of new justices who will uphold the Constitution as it applies to the pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness for the unborn. Please help our President and the rest of this nation to be in prayer daily to bring Your will upon this nation so that we may walk in Your ways.
Father, we pray that You would bless our military men and women. Keep them strong. Help them to read Your Word and pray to You daily. Let those who do not know You be placed in the company of those who do, and may Your Spirit witness to them all.
Bless Your people Israel, Lord. Protect this tiny nation from the terrorists who seek to destroy both her and the United States. Hide us in the shadow of Your wings, and let us be a friend to Your people. Please hear the humble prayers of Your servants, Lord, as we lift them in the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

God is faithful. He hears and answers prayers according to His will, which is my prayer. That His will be done, soon, fully, and with willing participants.
God bless and watch over our President Bush and his associates that this Country may be brought back into line with God's plan for it.
That's a beautiful picture, USABLUE.
I'm glad to see you on this thread.
We bow before You, aware of our own sinfulness and failings, mystified by Your grace and mercy and yet so grateful. We offer our humble praise, Lord, and ask that You reveal Your will to us as we go through each day.
Father, we thank You for a President who has integrity, courage, and steadfastness; who knows what he believes and stands up for it. And we are thankful for a President who leans not on his own understanding but spends time in Your word and in meditation and prayer with You. Lord, we petition You for safety and well-being for President Bush and all his family; protect them from the many enemies who would do them harm. Minister to their needs that they may serve You and glorify Your name.
Let lives be touched by the observation of Sanctity of Life Day on Sunday that more people will acknowledge You and You alone as the Author and Creator of life.
Bless our military and their families who wait hopefully at home. Give them the peace that passes understanding.
We are so distressed, Lord, as we see evil in our own country and abroad. We know that You won the victory on the cross but the ongoing battles seem more fierce than ever, Lord. Encourage Your people to continue to stand up for what is right and to spread the Good News that more people may see the Light. Bless our nation, Lord, and revive our spirits. In Jesus' name. Amen.
May this horrible sin of abortion be recognized by the women of the nation and world for what it really is, murder of a tiny human being, Dear Jesus bestow enlightment and bring about an awareness, that if caught up in this madness we may turn to You and beg Your forgiveness. Bring us back to sanity that all may reverence life from its beginning. In Jesus name we pray Amen.
