![]() President George H. Bush Born: June 12, 1924 - Died: November 30, 2018 41st President of United States of America - January 20, 1989 – January 20, 1993 Prayer of Mourning: Matthew 5:4 – Blessed are those that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Dear Heavenly Father, We come to you today in prayer, on this national day of Mourning. We give praise to you who conducts the entire universe. In this prayer, we pray for peace. We ask for peace between nations, peace between individuals, and peace of mind. May there be abundant peace from heaven. * We come before you today, as a nation, with sorrow. We know that you are always with us and that your love surrounds us in this hour of grief. We ask you to be with the family of President George H Bush today and through this difficult time of grieving. We ask you for grace and abounding peace to be bestowed upon them at this time. We thank you for the years that President Bush was our President and for his service to our country. Father God, We humble ourselves before you and pray that you will continue to protect and bless our country through difficult times and through times of joy. In Jesus' Name, Amen This prayer represents the American Prayer Force's- "Prayer of Mourning" and is not an official prayer representing the American people.Permission is granted for individuals to use freely. * This small section is loosly modified from the "Mourner's Prayer". The National Day of Mourning Posts will be used for all Presidents, Heads of State, and other National Leaders, reguardless of party affiliation upon their deaths and upon other significant distressful and sorrowful events. We honor all National leaders as appointed by God. This is based on Romans 13:1 "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God." The Official American Thanksgiving Proclamation By the President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln The year that is drawing toward its close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful fields and healthful skies. To these bounties, which are so constantly enjoyed that we are prone to forget the source from which they come, others have been added which are of so extraordinary a nature that they can not fail to penetrate and soften even the heart which is habitually insensible to the ever-watchful providence of Almighty God.
In the midst of a civil war of unequaled magnitude and severity, which has sometimes seemed to foreign states to invite and to provoke their aggression, peace has been preserved with all nations, order has been maintained, the laws have been respected and obeyed, and harmony has prevailed everywhere, except in the theater of military conflict, while that theater has been greatly contracted by the advancing armies and navies of the Union. Needful diversions of wealth and of strength from the fields of peaceful industry to the national defense have not arrested the plow, the shuttle, or the ship; the ax has enlarged the borders of our settlements, and the mines, as well of iron and coal as of the precious metals, have yielded even more abundantly than heretofore. Population has steadily increased notwithstanding the waste that has been made in the camp, the siege, and the battlefield, and the country, rejoicing in the consciousness of augmented strength and vigor, is permitted to expect continuance of years with large increase of freedom. No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God, who, while dealing with us in anger for our sins, hath nevertheless remembered mercy. It has seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently, and gratefully acknowledged, as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow-citizens in every part of the United States, and also those who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. And I recommend to them that while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans. mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged, and fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquillity, and union. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 3d day of October, A. D. 1863, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-eighth. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 1Timothy 2: 1-3 (KJV)
1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Written by a Facebook Friend
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHRISTIANITY AND OTHER RELIGIONS. This is something I have been thinking about a bit this week. There is a difference! As I was reading some conversations online and thinking about our homeschooling curriculum (we are learning about other countries, cultures, and religions), I realized that I didn’t know how to articulate the difference. But, then it came to me. The difference is relationship. We get to have a relationship with a loving Heavenly Father. We are different because we don’t follow all these rules to be good people and hope we can make it to heaven some day. We do everything because we love our Heavenly Father and don’t want to disappoint Him. Just as we wouldn’t want to disappoint anyone we love... it puts a strain on the relationship. It’s about relationship, not religion. So, if you are thinking about thinking about trying Christianity and wondering if it works... it does! It IS different from trying to be a good person or following the teachings of “good men.” It is about relationship with the most wonderful Father! He loves you and is just waiting for you to say yes to Him, yes to following Him. It isn’t a dry dusty thing for old people. He talks to you and comforts you when you are hurt and lonely. He shows you things He wants to change in your life. He wants a real relationship with you. It is worth it! ❤️ Matthew 11:28-29 King James Version (KJV) 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Happy Labor Day from your Brothers and Sisters at American Prayer Force!

Hello Prayer Warriors! ...... Join the American Prayer Force
Today we remember those who gave their lives to protect our freedom. We honor them and pray for those families who are still grieving from the loss of their loved ones. We pray for those who are still holding a position in each branch of our military. Military Pages A Prayer for Peace by Abraham Lincoln Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet if God wills that it continues... until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid another drawn with the sword... so still it must be said that the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and for his orphans, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. --Second Inaugural address, March 4, 1865 http://www.beliefnet.com/faiths/faith-tools/meditation/2005/01/prayers-of-the-presidents.aspx#sq3V38Ey4pCYO9Qc.99 Memorial Day Greetings from American Prayer Force!

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Matthew 9:38 Say not, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. John 4:35 1 Timothy 2 The Message (MSG)
The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live. Donald J Trump / Barack H Obama / George W Bush / William J Clinton / George H W Bush / Ronald W Reagan / James E Carter Jr. / Gerald R Ford / Richard M Nixon / Lyndon B Johnson / John F Kennedy / Dwight D Eisenhower / Harry S Truman / Franklin D Roosevelt / You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
“Man does not know whether he really believes Christ until he is opposed in his believing, and opposed to the real hurting point. He has just as much faith in Christ as he is willing to declare, and stand by, and insist upon, when he is under fire.” - S. D. Gordon
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
"As it is the business of tailors to make clothes and of cobblers to mend shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray." - Martin Luther
3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
