Bright Spot

Hebrews 10:25 exhorts, “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

“The Bright Spot” was created to be an online safe haven for you and all members of The Presidential Prayer Team…a place where we can meet together on a daily basis and receive encouragement – from inspiring Scripture, from illuminating quotes, from anointed poetry, and from each other’s words – that we need as we do the good work of praying for our nation and its leaders.

Make it a habit worth keeping – and visit daily “The Bright Spot,” given to you in gratitude for your partnership with The Presidential Prayer Team. We’re glad you’re here!

A Letter from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Washington, D.C.

BrightSpotSeveral weeks ago, we asked for your specific prayers for General Martin Dempsey when he was the featured military leader on the National Leaders profile. Each leader is notified by us in a letter that we have placed a week of prayer focus on them. We have received the following note on Joint Chiefs stationery:

Thank you Presidential Prayer Team for the thoughtful letter, support and prayers. The opportunity to serve our great country and the outstanding men and women serving in uniform is an honor.

I join you in prayers for our Service members who defend peace and stability around the globe. Your continued support for our Armed Forces is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,

Martin E. Dempsey

General, U.S. Army

    i believe there is going to be mass prayer revival amongs the military like never before

  2. Barry Click says:

    Let’s continually pray that our military people will always understand why they serve and that the American people will also understand and appreciate their service. Pray that America’s leaders will always stand for the country’s founding principles. Pray they will stand firm on biblical principles and have the courage to boldly proclaim that publicly. Pray that weapons formed against them will not prosper.

    Marine Corps Hymn mentions in first stanza that Marines are first to fight for rights, freedom and to keep the honor clean fighting in air, land, sea and now space realms and that if the Army and Navy ever looked on heaven’s scenes they will always find the streets are gaurded by the United States of America Marines who are nowadays over 236 years of age doing such since November 10, 1775 when they branched out of the United States of America Navy, therefore, being always faithful continues to keep Marines aiming. Paul the apostle stated that we all stumble and fall daily no matter how we try each day so we maintain continued measurements of humility and watch for Luke 6:36 to be cared for and remembered with intelligence passing inspection philosophically and theologically. Proverbs 20:28 mentions importance of a king or highest ranking individual being kept safe with righteousness and mercy so I pray such on Chairman of the Armed Force of America and the Joints Chiefs of Staff who have equaled thus far such superlative elitism that the Highest Ranking Entity in the Universe smiled plenty in case it is highly recommended and I suggest we of Presidential Prayer Team keep in mind such aims, too. Accurate behavior that is right with never being evil is a totally recommended aim but sometimes we must simply be humble while not letting apathy about such aims for accurate behavior for no evil to prevail continuing to be a intense aim. God bless Highest ranking U.S. Army…

  4. Our church has a 24/7 Prayer Wall and I regularly visit your site for inspiration for our publication. Each month we feature one of your featured military leaders in our Prayer Alert along with all our local military men and women. Therefore, that particular leader is being prayed for 24/7 during that month. When you let your featured leader know he (or she) is being prayed for through your ministry please inform them that those prayers are being multiplied exponentially. Bless you for all you are doing.

Dear PPT
Thank you for your daily devotions—superb and thought provoking—and your prayer requests. Our country needs prayer so badly! Only our precious Lord Jesus can take us through these trying times! Please keep up the good work! To God be the glory. – Babs

There is much power in prayer.  I congratulate you on your efforts and know your organization can be a force to make a difference in eliminating in a small way some of the little things which are hurting us all. – Carolyn

Thank you Presidential Prayer Team,
Lifting you up in the Holy Spirit truth and love of Jesus Christ,
our LORD and Messiah. To the glory of the Father God, Amen. – Mike

Dearest Friends of the Presidential Prayer Team,
I don’t know you personally, but I do know you in the Spirit. You have blessed me immeasurably as I pray with you specific prayer needs for our government and our country. Although I am not as faithful as you in that I don’t "tune in" every day, I am so grateful for your ministry throughout the year! Your comments are beautifully expressed and anointed, I believe, and keep us focused on the real priorities–not the economy, war, politics, etc. Thank you so much for hearing God’s heart and sharing with us. I pray often for each of you–for continued good health, direction, blessing, and peace. May God give our nation not what we deserve, but His mercy and grace!

In the Name that is above all names, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, – Ann

God Bless America & May America Bless The World…Amen!!
No Weapon formed against us shall prosper, but we shall prosper & be in good health…Amen!!
UNITED WE KNEEL, – Piper

Love this web-site. – Judy

I know that money is tight for your organization as it is for so many of us….but in God’s everlasting currency, you are rich and blessed to be a blessing to others!!!   THANK YOU for doing what you do! – Dave

   I very much enjoy your Vantage Point Devotional. I was in a discount bookstore several months ago and came across your daily journal…this was my first opportunity to know of your organization. I am a history aficionado of the Revolutionary War and have a copy of Arnold Friberg’s painting: The Prayer at Valley Forge…your logo! I have been hooked to your Prayer Team ever since. Please allow me to thank you for what you put into the public realm for all to digest. – John

Thank you for all you do.  I really appreciate you keeping me updated on what is currently happening so I can focus my prayers accordingly. I praise God for this ministry.  Our country and people around the world need as many people praying as possible. – Patty

Thank you so much for the time it takes to present a daily devotional and prayer watch.  They are each very much a part of my daily walk. – Patricia

Greetings and Blessings! Yes, I anticipate joining in prayer for the vote.  I’m a 91 year-old retired missionary, and I appreciate all your effort to inform us and challenge us to persevere in prayer.  The devotional email each day is faith- building and encouraging.  – Dorothy

I am standing with you.  You are not alone, united we stand in Jesus name. In His Love, Vandy

Thank you so much for all that you do to keep us updated. I hope G-d will do wonderful things through you for this country and the individuals in it.   I will be praying. Thanks again. – Meredith

Fellow team members,
I confess that I have been a fairly marginal member of the prayer team. I get your messages; I benefit from your devotional thought for each day. Sometimes I even pray. Today’s message about the stresses your staff is facing made an unexpected impact. Hang in there! We are not alone for “greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world.” – Vickie

Keep doing what you’re doing and maybe through prayer, we can someday become One Nation UNDER GOD. – Carolyn

I appreciate your efforts and the sheer quality and thoroughness of the PPT’s daily briefings and weekly summaries. Thank you for helping me to know how to pray specifically for those in authority in our government. – Nora
