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.
