"....The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:5-7 KJV
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all...." 1 Timothy 2:1-6 KJV KJV
"...Jesus,....because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." 22,24-25 KJV


PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER REQUESTS FOR August 5, 2004
Pray for Director Tom Ridge and the Department of Homeland Security as they respond to serious new threats against the financial services sector in New York City, Northern New Jersey and Washington, D.C. With the security threat level raised to orange in those specific areas, and with the governors, mayors, and homeland security advisors and local security personnel in the affected locations on alert, pray for the safety of every person involved, and pray that any plots being formed will be foiled. Pray for vigilance on the part of all.
As the President and his team face an enemy that is sophisticated, patient, disciplined and lethal (words from the 9/11 Commission Report) pray that the wisdom of God which is above all powers and principalities will overrule the most cunning plans of America's enemies.
Pray for the President and his team as they consider the newly announced changes to America's intelligence-gathering abilities. Pray for wisdom in the choice of a new National Intelligence Director to coordinate the nation's 15 intelligence gathering agencies.
Give thanks for the re-opening of the Statue of Liberty, closed after the 9/11 attacks. Pray for her protection and for the safety of all who visit, that they may value and appreciate the tremendous freedom we enjoy in America.
As new grant money has just been made available, pray for Director Jim Towey and the ongoing efforts of the Faith-Based and Community Initiatives as they seek to support organizations and ministries around the country that provide hope for people in need--the poor, those at risk and those who are addicted. As the FBCI works to remove discrimination against faith-based groups, pray that the funds will be distributed to those places most needing assistance, and pray for the success of each organization's efforts so that hope to be restored to many Americans.
As thousands of athletes from around the world prepare to compete in the Athens Olympic Games, pray for the safety and security of all, particularly the official delegation from the White House which includes former President and Mrs. George H.W. Bush and their granddaughters Jenna and Barbara. Pray for those working to make that city and the surrounding area secure, and pray for Christian ministries who plan to share the Good News during the Games.
Give thanks as well, for the tremendous milestone being met by the members of the Iraqi Olympic Team, that all countries gathered will be able to cheer for these athletes, now freed from the torture and tyranny they formerly experienced.
Pray for the efforts of PPT Honorary Committee member, Luis Palau as he and his team launch an evangelistic crusade in downtown Minneapolis this weekend, August 7-8. Pray for many people to be reached and the response to be great.
Pray for the President as he welcomes to the White House Prime Minister Marek Belka of Poland on August 9. The leaders will discuss their efforts in the war on terrorism and our bilateral economic relations.
Pray for the troops who continue to safeguard our liberties across the globe and in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pray for the family members and loved ones whom they have left at home, and pray for their safety as they serve.
....Christian artist Michael W. Smith, Co-Chair of PPT's Honorary Committee, said...."President Bush knows about The Presidential Prayer Team. His eyes get misty when he talks about all the people praying for him."
A PRAYER FOR THE PRESIDENT FROM "PRAY FOR OUR NATION:
Dear Father, in Jesus’ name I lift up our president to You. I know that our leader’s heart is in Your hand, so I ask You to guide the head of our nation in the way You would have him go.
Father, I pray that You would surround our president with wise counsel—men and women of integrity who place Your agenda and the good of this nation above their own and whose motives are for that which is right.
I pray that You would give our leader discernment, understanding and knowledge so that our nation may know stability internally and abroad.
I give thanks for our president according to Your Word and thank You for working in and through his leadership so that we might lead peaceable lives in godliness and honesty (I Timothy 2:1-2).
Amen.
....I prayed that there would be safety all through the campaign. --Inez....
TROOPS UPDATE
Thousands continue to pray for our troops through the "Adopt Our Troops" initiative of The Presidential Prayer Team.
....Jonathan is back home safe and sound and bringing truth to those who will listen! He tells of the great and ongoing successes in Iraq and the fact that we are indeed winning this war, in spite of those who wish our nation ill.
Sean returned to the states last week and is currently on leave at home in North Carolina. He is having nightmares about near-death misses in helicopters in Iraq the last 16 months he was deployed there. Pray that he will be strengthened in his faith and will work through these traumatic episodes he is encountering. Thanks to each who prayed for my nephew....


"...The Spirit...helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." Romans 8:26-27 KJV
"....It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Romans 8:34 KJV

Father, in Jesus' Name, give us words to pray that will help our President lead our country in the right direction. While he travels, Lord, we pray that every meeting is fruitful - good fruits, Lord, and not evil. Protect him and the other leaders he is meeting with from all harm. Disable terrorists by Your Spirit, Lord. Take away their power, in Jesus' Name we ask. We pray that each person is understood completely before making any decisions over any people. Let every man and woman be comfortable in each other's presence.

Lord, fully place Yourself inside and upon the leader of our country. Put all of the right words in his mouth and open every ear to hear Your plans through him. Let the counsel of our enemies be turned to foolishness, but let all of Your servants words shine as brilliant light. Allow solutions to just come up, Lord, and receive all of the glory for giving them. In Jesus' Name we ask these things.....Amen.

2Sa 15:31
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

Ahithophel - brother of ruin or folly
Absalom - father of peace
David - well beloved or dear

Holy Spirit, thank You for reminding me again of all the things we've been shown about the President - some posted on this site. Lord, guard our nation's highest leader under You. Put legions of angels around him, in Jesus' Name. Set a pillar of fire around him and set him in a tall, high tower. Guard his left side and his back, Lord. Let no weapon form against him. Hold him in the palm of Your hand, Father, and cover him with Your wings, Holy Spirit.

Let our President's life be protected every day from those who walk around on two feet, thinking it is them who are in control when they are only manipulated by the enemy.

In Jesus' Name we pray.....Amen.
