I pray that she will lean on you for her strength and wisdom. I pray that only truth will be spoken tonight. Take away all fear from her mind, body and soul. Protect her, keep her in one mind and spirit. I am thankful that you are her Father.

Three days

Today is Tuesday and we have three days to set ourselves aside for fasting and prayer. I keep thinking of Ester and Mordecai and the people who fasted for Ester before she went before the king for the sake of her people and you and I.
We have three days before the VP Debate. I feel a strong moving to Fast and Pray until the debate is through. Will you join me?

I know that God has a plan here and he is working his plan. I pray that we will continually lift up Sarah and her Family in the next three days.
Pray for:
Wisdom
Courage
Honor
Freedom to speak her heart
Freedom to be herself
Willingness to let God fill her and be her strength
To be God's vessel
To hear Godly counsel
To feel God's empowerment
To Rest

For Todd
That he will be a strong tower for her
That he will rely on God
That he will be an encourager

For the Kids
They will understand and be proud of Mom
They will encourage her
They will lean on God through this week.

Lord, over the next three days Sarah and her family will need you more than ever. You have promised in your word that we will not be tested with more than we can bare or you will create an escape. Escape does not look possible or beneficial, so Lord we ask of you to give her the wisdom, understanding, psychical strength, and the sense of your presence and comfort. Lord, I will rely on you to provide all the other things she will need. I will trust you to be faithful and I pray that not my will but thine be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Thank you Father for hearing my prayer.
I pray in the blessed name of Jesus
Amen

No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. I Cor. 10:13 NRSV

1b. Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3a For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: Isa 43 1-3 KJV

A new week, back on the trail

Our Father,
Thank you for who you are and how you work in our lives. Lord, I pray for our country and the choices we as a nation will make in the next few weeks. The time is short for the message of truth to be told. Raise up voices that will shout the message of truth loud and clear. Lord, I ask of you to hold back the lies and slander. Help the people of our nation to understand that we can except each others views with respect without agreeing with each other.
Lord, I see two choices before us. Lord help each person to make a choice based on facts and not fear, or untruths



Lord, Sarah and Senator McCain will speak in Ohio today. I pray for clear speech, a great connection with the people. I pray for truth to be spoken and not half trues but the whole truth. Let people see good, see hope, and desire to join in the choice of reform. I know that Sarah and Senator McCain are people just as we are and they like us have made mistakes. Lord, let us understand that any leader other than you will never do everything perfectly. Lord, let us look at their hearts and see if good is there and if their motives for this office is for the good of our people.



Lord,
I have looked at Sarah and I see a mom who loves you and her family. I see a women who desires for her kids to have a better world to live in. I see a citizen who desires for all of us to have a government that will not be corrupt and take from us but to help us be safe, and live in peace with ourselves and our neighbors. I see a person who desires for the nations of this world to protect us from those who desire to harm us. I thank you for what I see. Give her truth and wisdom today.

Help Sarah as she prepares for the debate on Thursday and Lord, I pray that you will give her the freedom to speak her heart and the wisdom to do so. Thank you for giving her the courage to run for VP.
Lord, I pray that your will be done for her and our nation.
I pray all of this in Jesus Name
Amen

President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan

Dear Father,

Thank you that you are the God of wisdom. We thank you that your ways are not our ways, and your thoughts higher than ours. So Lord we know that the beginning of wisdom comes from our acknowledgement of you and our reverence of who you are. Thank you for being the only all knowing God.
Lord, Sarah will be meeting with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan next week. Lord, thank you for this opportunity. I pray that she will seek you about this meeting. Help her to hear this man and understand the challenges Afghanistan faces today. Help her to ask the questions that will lead to a clear understanding of our relationship with Afghanistan and the people of this area. Provide her with insight on how our country should proceed in the next 4 years with our troops in this area of the world. Help her to understand the economical needs of Afghanistan and show her the power struggles that are hindering Afghanistan from being a peaceful nation.

Give her grace and understanding, a tender heart and listening ears. Help her to understand her rule and to show the love of Christ to President Hamid Karzai. Thank you for his position of power and I pray that he seeks the good for his country. Lord, I thank you for this nation and I pray that you will provide godly leaders in our nation at all levels of government.
In Jesus Holy Name
Amen
