Prayer Surge for President Bush

Daily Intercession for President Bush
(During this current Middle East tour & beyond)

1 Timothy 2:1-8

1. First of all… Pray that President Bush would have a deeper and more intimate relationship with our Lord, and he that would excel in Christ’s School of Prayer.

2. Pray for his protection and safety as al Qaeda has made death treats against him.

3. Ask for godly wisdom and insight as he meets with the leaders of Middle East & his role as Christ’s ambassador to the nations. (Please refer to the details of his Jan. 9-16 Middle East tour schedule below.)

4. Pray for a White House policy that would promote lasting peace and security for the Middle East and Central Asia, including Israel, Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

5. Ask for the Spirit’s leading as the President of the United States & the Commander In Chief of our military during his final and most important year in office.

PRESIDENT BUSH’S MIDDLE EAST TOUR HAS BEGUN!
(Information below provided by Intercessors for America: http://www.ifapray.org/)

Intercede for spiritual statesmen and for adherence to biblical revelation and principles in the formulation and execution of foreign policy, especially toward Israel and Jerusalem. Intercede for the revelation of Jesus as Messiah in the Middle East and for "THE PEACE IN JERUSALEM"
Psalm 122

Intercede for our national leaders - that every decision, action or plan to pressure Israel to give up land or evacuate its people from any territory would be frustrated and abandoned. May God raise up leaders in the United States and Israel who would support His end-time purposes for the people of Israel.
