DAY 29 - DAILY HISTORY (TURN AWAY) - JUNE 22, 2010

GROVER CLEVELAND, NOV. 4, 1896, NATIONAL DAY OF
THANKSGIVING & PRAYER PROCLAMATION:


The United States should never be unmindful of the gratitude
they owe the God of Nations for His watchful care, which has shielded
them from dire disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and
happiness.

Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
hearts their proneness to turn away from God’s teaching and to follow
with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened it is fitting that on a day especially appointed we
should join together in approaching the Throne of Grace with praise
and supplication.

DAY 28 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (FIRE) - JUNE 21, 2010

Deuteronomy 18:16 (NIV)


For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."

DAY 28 - DAILY PRAYER (FIRES) - JUNE 21, 2010

El-Shaddai (All Sufficient One),


We come to you in need for the Flagstaff area of Arizona.  The wild fires that burn there endanger homes, business, human and animal lives.  Lord, we seek Your sufficient mercy, and deliverance in this area of our nation.  Command the roaring fires to be extinguished in that land.  May the winds be silenced at Your voice, and the plumes of smoke dispersed with a wave of Your mighty hand.  


Lord, we also ask your great mercy across this entire nation.  Spare other cities across the county the disastrous effects of wild fires.  Grant mercy to those areas prone to fires, and give a reprieve to the people who inhabit those areas.  Bless us with Your unending goodness, and spare us from the threat of wild fires in our land.


We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ,


Amen.

WOODROW WILSON, MAR. 5, 1917, 2ND INAUGURAL:


We are being forged into a new unity amidst the fires that now
blaze throughout the world. In their ardent heat we shall, in God’s
Providence, let us hope, be purged of faction and division, purified of
the errant humors of party and of private interest, and shall stand
forth in the days to come with a new dignity of national pride and
spirit...I know now what the task means. I realize to the full the
responsibility which it involves. I pray God I may be given the wisdom
and the prudence to do my duty in the true spirit of this great people.

MESSAGE:


Our grateful thanks are due to an all-merciful Providence,
not only for staying the pestilence which in different forms has
desolated some of our cities, but for crowning the labors of the
husbandman with an abundant harvest and the nation generally
with the blessings of peace and prosperity...
We owe these blessings, under Heaven, to the happy
Constitution and Government which were bequeathed to us by
our fathers, and which it is our sacred duty to transmit in all
their integrity to our children.

Spread your protection over them, 
that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

DAY 26 - DAILY PRAYER (PROTECTION) - JUNE 19, 2010

National Protection

Most High God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus, asking for divine protection for the people of this country. I pray for the safety of every man, woman, and child. Keep us from harms way and provide protection from plans of destruction that our enemies have plotted. Stop their plans before they are evoked. Give wisdom, understanding and discernment to those who provide us protection. Help us to be watchful and alert to signs of wrongdoing. Please provide insight to national and local authorities on ways to guard, defend, and insure the safety of all American citizens both home and abroad. Helps us to unite with government leaders and law enforcement personnel in making this country a safe place to live, work, and play. Allow Americans to enjoy our freedom without fear. Amen.

DAY 26 - DAILY HISTORY (PROTECTION) - JUNE 19, 2010

JOHN TYLER, DEC. 1843, 3RD ANNUAL MESSAGE:
If any people ever had cause to render up thanks to the Supreme
Being for parental care and protection extended to them in all the trials
and difficulties to which they have been from time to time exposed,
we certainly are that people.


From the first settlement of our forefathers on the continent,
through the dangers attendant upon the occupation of a savage
wilderness, through a long period of colonial dependence, through the
War of the Revolution, in the wisdom which led to the adoption of
the existing forms of republican government...the superintendence of
an overruling Providence has been plainly visible. 


As preparatory, therefore, to entering once more upon the high duties of 
legislation, it becomes us humbly to acknowledge our dependence upon Him 
as our guide and protector and to implore a continuance of His parental
watchfulness over our beloved country.

DAY 25 - DAILY PRAYER (FOREIGN RELATIONS) - JUNE 18, 2010

For Good Foreign Relations


O my Jesus, I pray for the international relations of my nation, because our global influence has allowed us into other countries to spread Your Holy Word in the past. I pray that those You raise up would give favor and offer safety to the missionaries in their respective nations.


Raise up wise men and women to fill our diplomatic corps, persons of skill, morals, and understanding in foreign affairs and in the affairs of state. Grant safety to our embassy personnel in every foreign land so they will be able to maintain good relations in their posts, and so that even our enemies will be at peace with them. I ask that Your Hand would be with our diplomats to such a degree that even the most fanatical of our enemies would fear attacking our embassies and their personnel. Rather, Lord, let our enemies begin to see the United States as an ensign of peace to the world and realize that living in peace is preferable to living in fear and bondage. 


Send Your Holy Spirit to alert our personnel of any potential attacks, and give them the power to quell them before they happen. Keep them always in the safety of Your Arms. 


Amen.

DAY 25 - DAILY HISTORY (MISSIONARIES) - JUNE 18, 2010

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, 1908, AT A MISSIONARY
CONFERENCE:


No man can study the movement of modern civilization from
an impartial standpoint, and not realize that Christianity and the spread
of Christianity are the basis of hope of modern civilization in the
growth of popular self government.


The spirit of Christianity is pure democracy. It is equality of
man before God - the equality of man before the law, which is, as I
understand it, the most God-like manifestation that man has been
able to make.

Prayer for the Nation

Almighty God, You have given us this good land for our heritage. We humbly ask You that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of Your favor and glad to do Your will. Bless our land with honorable endeavor, sound learning and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitude brought here out of many nations and tongues. Endow with the Spirit of wisdom those to whom in Your Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to Your law we may show forth Your praise among the nations on earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble do not allow our trust in You to fail. Amen.

No people ought to feel greater obligations to celebrate the
goodness of the Great Disposer of Events and of the Destiny of
Nations than the people of the United States...To the same Divine
Author of Every Good and Perfect Gift we are indebted for all those
priviledges and advantages, religious as well as civil, which are so richly
enjoyed in this favored land...I now recommend...a day on which the
people of every religious denomination may in their solemn assemblies
unite their hearts and their voices in a freewill offering to their Heavenly
Benefactor of their homage of thanksgiving and of their songs of
praise.

Isaiah 6:10


Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed."

DAY 23 - DAILY PRAYER - JUNE 16, 2010

Ronald Reagan
A Prayer for Healing

To preserve our blessed land we must look to God... It is time to realize that we need God more than He needs us... We also have His promise that we could take to heart with regard to our country, that "If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

Let us, young and old, join together, as did the First Continental Congress, in the first step, in humble heartfelt prayer. Let us do so for the love of God and His great goodness, in search of His guidance and the grace of repentance, in seeking His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our nation, our friends in the defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.

The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America... Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal. Today, we utter no prayer more fervently than the ancient prayer for peace on Earth.

If I had a prayer for you today, among those that have all been uttered, it is that one we're so familiar with: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace...." And God bless you all.

RONALD REAGAN, JAN. 27, 1983, NATIONAL DAY OF
PRAYER PROCLAMATION:


Abraham Lincoln said, “Intoxicated with unbroken success,
we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming
and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.”
Revived as an annual observance by Congress in 1952, the National
Day of Prayer has become a great unifying force for our citizens...This
common expression of reverence heals and brings us together as a
nation, and we pray it may one day bring renewed respect for God to
all peoples of the world.

Genesis 1:14-15 (New International Version)


 14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.

DAY 22 - DAILY PRAYER (LIGHT) - JUNE 15, 2010

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.


From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.


From the centre where the Will of God is known 
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -- 
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.


From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.


Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
In Jesus Holy Name Amen.


May the Lord Bless you and keep you

RICHARD NIXON, JAN. 20, 1969, FIRST INAUGURAL:

Only a few short weeks ago we shared the glory of man’s first
sight of the world as God sees it, as a single sphere reflecting light in
the darkness. As the Apollo astronauts flew over the moon’s gray surface
on Christmas Eve, they spoke to us of the beauty of earth - and in that
voice so clear across the lunar distance, we heard them invoke God’s
blessing on its goodness. Let us go forward, firm in our faith, steadfast
in our purpose, cautious of the dangers, but sustained by our confidence
in the will of God.

TODAY IS FLAG DAY

DWIGHT EISENHOWER, JUN. 14, 1954, SIGNED THE BILL
PLACING “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” IN THE PLEDGE OF
ALLEGIANCE, THEN RECITED ON THE U.S. CAPITOL STEPS:


I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.




DWIGHT EISENHOWER, JUN. 14, 1954, AFTER SIGNING
RESOLUTION 243 ADDING “UNDER GOD” TO THE PLEDGE:


From this day forward, the millions of our school children will
daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural school
house, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty.
To anyone who truly loves America, nothing could be more inspiring
than to contemplate this rededication of our youth, on each school
morning, to our country’s true meaning...
Over the globe, mankind has been cruelly torn by violence
and brutality and, by the millions, deadened in mind and soul by a
materialistic philosophy of life. Man everywhere is appalled by the
prospect of atomic war. In this somber setting, this law and its effects
today have profound meaning. In this way we are reaffirming the
transcendence of religious faith in America’s heritage and future; in
this way we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons which forever
will be our country’s most powerful resource, in peace or in war.

DAY 20 - DAILY PRAYER (STRENGTHEN) - JUNE 13, 2010

Dear Father,


We come to You a people reminded of how wholly dependent on You we are; our lives, our health, our prosperity, our freedom, our families, our jobs all blessings at Your hand alone.  We recognize that as the beneficiaries of so great a fortune, we have grown complacent, entitled, and ignorant.  We repent.  May our repentance be with all sincerity.  


Father strengthen us in our resolve to engage our world for Your kingdom's sake.  May we find the fortitude to love our neighbor as ourself, to love You with our heart, mind, soul and strength.  In so doing, may we know Christ's freedom; from fear and anxiety and addiction.  May we know deep, abiding, healing joy as Your will becomes our purpose, infuses our life with meaning, and brings renewal to our hearts and our land.


Thank you, Father for hearing us.  Amen.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, MAR. 30, 1863, NATIONAL DAY OF
HUMILIATION, FASTING & PRAYER PROCLAMATION:

We have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand
which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of
our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior
wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too selfsufficient
to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too
proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then to humble
ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins and
to pray for clemency and forgiveness.

THOMAS JEFFERSON, MAR. 4, 1805, SECOND INAUGURAL:


I shall need, too, the favor of that Being in whose hands we
are, who led our forefathers, as Israel of old, from their native land and
planted them in a country flowing with all the necessities and comforts
of life, who has covered our infancy with His Providence and our riper
years with His wisdom and power, and to whose goodness I ask you to
join with me in supplications that He will so enlighten the minds of
your servants, guide their councils and prosper their measures, that
whatever they do shall result in your good, and shall secure to you the
peace, friendship and approbation of all nations.

 1 Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the LORD your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
 2 All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you if you obey the LORD your God:
 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

DAY 18 - DAILY PRAYER (BLESSED) - JUNE 11, 2010

Precious Lord Jesus, we come to you today, thanking you for all of your vast riches & blessings that you have bestowed upon America. Remembering, that blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. History has recorded Christopher Columbus’ testimony that You led him to this land. We reaffirm today that you are still the God that America needs and desires to call their God.

Your precious word, the Bible, tells us, that "Thou art a God ready to pardon. “ Your people are crying out in unison for a spiritual awakening in our beloved land! We trust in the goodness of yourself to restore us to you!

Who, oh Lord, could save themselves, their own sin could heal? Our shame was deeper than the sea ... You alone can rescue… you alone can save… You alone can lift us from the grave… (Hymn: You alone can rescue)

Amen.

As I stand here today, having taken the solemn oath of office
in the presence of my fellow countrymen - in the presence of God - I
know that it is America’s purpose that we shall not fail...The Almighty
God has blessed our land in many ways. He has given our people stout
hearts and strong arms with which to strike mighty blows for freedom
and truth. He has given to our country a faith which has become the
hope of all peoples in an anguished world. 


So we pray to Him now for the vision to see our way clearly -
to see the way that leads to a better life for ourselves and for all our
fellow men - to the achievement of His will, to peace on earth. In the
presence of God - I know that it is America’s purpose that we shall not
fail.

DAY 17 - DAILY BIBLE VERSE (PRAY FOR ALL MEN) - JUNE 10, 2010

1 Timothy 2:1-3 (New International Version)


1. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— 2. for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3. This is good, and pleases God our Savior,

DAY 17 - DAILY PRAYER (PUBLIC SERVANTS) - JUNE 10, 2010

Our Heavenly Father:

I come before you to humbly ask for Your blessing and guidance upon the public servants of our nation and the world, and especially those in law enforcement. In an era where one scandal seems to follow another, I ask that you strengthen us Lord, that we may always focus on what is the right thing to do, and that all of our actions and decisions would be acceptable to You.  Please remind us each day that although we serve the public, our foremost obligation is to do Thy will and to serve You.

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to serve our communities, and we pray for strength and wisdom as we meet the challenges of these difficult times.

In Christ’s name we pray, Amen


David W. Bailey # 81
Chief Of Police
Lancaster Police Department
Lancaster, Ohio
