Pray for God’s continued healing touch for former President Gerald Ford, hospitalized last weekend with pneumonia. He is receiving antibiotics and is responding well to treatment.

Pray for Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff as he works with Secretary of State Rice to strengthen and streamline border security while allowing greater freedom for students seeking to study in the U.S., asking God to guide this process, that international students will be able to study in our country while still keeping our nation safe from potential terrorists. Pray for God’s leading and wisdom regarding the security of America’s borders with neighbors Mexico and Canada.
As the White House has expressed disappointment with the Supreme Court decision upholding Oregon’s assisted suicide law, pray for the strengthening of a culture of life in our country.
Pray for our troops as they work tirelessly for freedom around the world, serving our country and the great cause of democracy on many fronts. Pray for the continued success of the defense and security forces in Iraq, so that Americans can continue to withdraw."
