SUBJECT:	YOUR RESPONIBILITY TO PRAY FOR YOUR PRESIDENT!

"...prayer was made earnestly by the church unto God for him [Peter]." Acts 12:5

President Bush's first responsibility is the protection of the people of this country. Likewise, as Christians your responsibility is to pray for him - that he will have Divine wisdom guiding his thoughts and decisions; and that he, his family and his countrymen will be protected from the destructive plans of our devilish enemies. We do not deserve it (see the 50 million innocent children slaughtered by "legalized" abortion), but we can still petition for God's mercy.
Commenting on the verse above, Matthew Henry* emphasizes that, if you are a Christian, it is your duty to pray for our President:

"This verse teaches, first of all, how we ought to be affected whenever we see our brethren attacked by the ungodly because of their testimony to the Gospel. For if we do nothing, and are not made anxious by their dangers, not only do we cheat them of the rightful duty of charity, but we are also treacherously abandoning the confession of our faith
"Of course, if they are fighting for our safety, we are failing them as well as ourselves and Christ. And the pressing need at present is that all who wish to be counted as Christians undertake prayer with far more eagerness than usual..."

Please Join Us In Prayer For Our President:

Lord, in Jesus' Name, we ask You to RELEASE an urgent Spirit of intercession throughout Your Church.
Please, Lord, PROTECT our President and his family. GIVE him Divine wisdom. KEEP them from the evil one.
Father, we are ASHAMED of our national sins, especially the shedding of innocent blood. But, we ask that in Your wrath, please remember Mercy.
THANK YOU for being mindful of us and our prayers. AMEN!

*Matthew Henry was a Biblical expositor of eighteenth century England.
