I believe that God wants me to be president.

I believe that God wants me to be president.

Faith, Believe, President

I am sustained by the prayers of the people in this country. I guess an appropriate way to say this, it's one of the beautiful things about America and Americans from all walks of life is that they're willing to pray for the President and his family. And that's powerful. It's hard for me to describe to you what that means. It's-let me just say this: It's a leap of faith to understand.

Beautiful, Faith, Country

Interview with Diane Sawyer, abcnews.go.com. December 16.

But I'm mindful in a free society that people can worship if they want to or not. You're equally an American if you choose to worship an Almighty and if you choose not to. If you're a Christian, Jew or Muslim you're equally an American. That's the great thing about America is the right to worship the way you see fit. Prayer and religion sustain me. I receive calmness in the storms of the presidency. I love the fact that people pray for me and my family all around the country. Somebody asked me one time, how do you know? I said I just feel it.

Faith, Christian, Country

Transcript of Third Presidential Debate at Arizona State University, Tempe, Ariz., www.washingtonpost.com. October 13, 2004.

I fully understand it's important to maintain the separation of church and state. We don't want the state to become the church, nor do we want the church to become the state.

Faith, Important, Church

May He guide us now. And may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Faith, America, United States

Second Presidential State of the Union Address, delivered January 28, 2003

I do believe in the sanctity of marriage. ...But I don't see that as conflict with being a tolerant person or an understanding person.

Faith, Believe, Understanding

Interview with Diane Sawyer, abcnews.go.com. December 16.

We Americans have faith in ourselves, but not in ourselves alone. We do not know-we do not claim to know all the ways of Providence, yet we can trust in them, placing our confidence in the loving God behind all of life, and all of history.

Faith, Way, Loving God

Second Presidential State of the Union Address, delivered January 28, 2003

"Americans do not presume to equate God's purposes with any purpose of our own...."[Prayer] teaches us to trust, to accept that God's plan unfolds in his time, not our own.

Faith, Prayer, Purpose

Our nation must defend the sanctity of marriage. The outcome of this debate is important-and so is the way we conduct it. The same moral tradition that defines marriage also teaches that each individual has dignity and value in God's sight.

Faith, Sight, Gay Marriage

Third Presidential State of the Union Address, delivered 20 January 2004

I think it's very important that we protect marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. I proposed a constitutional amendment. The reason I did so was because I was worried that activist judges are actually defining the definition of marriage. And the surest way to protect marriage between a man and woman is to amend the Constitution.

Faith, Men, Thinking

Presidential debate in Tempe, Arizona, www.cnn.com. October 13, 2004.

My faith plays a big part in my life. And when I was answering that question what I was really saying to the person was that I pray a lot. And I do. And my faith is a very, it's very personal. I pray for strength. I pray for wisdom. I pray for our troops in harm's way. I pray for my family. I pray for my little girls.

Girl, Faith, Play

Freedom is on the march in this world. I believe everybody in the Middle East desires to live in freedom. I believe women in the Middle East want to live in a free society. I believe mothers and fathers want to raise their children in a free and peaceful world. I believe all these things, because freedom is not America's gift to the world, freedom is the almighty God's gift to each man and woman in this world.

Faith, Mother, Children

...The God I know is one that promotes peace and freedom. But I get great sustenance from my personal relationship. That doesn't make me think I'm a better person than you are, by the way. Because one of the great admonitions in the Good Book is, don't try to take a speck out of your eye if I've got a log in my own.

Faith, Book, Eye

Ireland Radio and Television Interview, georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov. June 24, 2004.

We need common-sense judges who understand our rights were derived from God

Faith, Rights, Common Sense

The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable - and it is not carried forward by our power alone. We can trust in that greater power Who guides the unfolding of the years. And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true.

Faith, Our World, Years

Third Presidential State of the Union Address, delivered 20 January 2004

I think it's important to promote a culture of life. I think a hospitable society is a society where every being counts and every person matters. I believe the ideal world is one in which every child is protected in law and welcomed to life. I understand there's great differences on this issue of abortion. But I believe reasonable people can come together and put good law in place that will help reduce the number of abortions.

Faith, Children, Believe

Presidential debate in Tempe, Arizona, www.nytimes.com. October 13, 2004.

We're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion. This is an issue that divides America. But certainly reasonable people can agree on how to reduce abortions in America.

Faith, America, Issues

I think it is a worthy goal in America to have every child protected by law and welcomed in life. I also think we ought to continue to have good adoption law as an alternative to abortion.

Faith, Children, Thinking

Presidential candidate debate in St. Louis, Missouri, www.cnn.com. October 9, 2004.

I will always stand firm to protect the sanctity of marriage. I believe it is important to work with people to find common ground on difficult issues.

Faith, Believe, Issues

I believe it is in the national interest that government stand side-by-side with people of faith who work to change lives for the better. I understand in the past, some in government have said government cannot stand side-by-side with people of faith. Let me put it more bluntly, government can't spend money on religious programs simply because there's a rabbi on the board, cross on the wall, or a crescent on the door. I viewed this as not only bad social policy - because policy by-passed the great works of compassion and healing that take place - I viewed it as discrimination.

Faith, Religious, Wall

I'm telling America we need to not discriminate against faith-based programs. We need to welcome them so our society is more wholesome, more welcoming, and more hopeful for every single citizen.

Faith, America, Hopeful

It is the government's strong desire to empower this fabric, this social fabric of our society where faith-based programs large and small feel empowered, encouraged, and welcomed into changing lives.

Faith, Strong, Life Changing

I wouldn't pick a judge who said that the Pledge of Allegiance couldn't be said in a school because it had the words 'under God'' in it. I think that's an example of a judge allowing personal opinion to enter into the decision-making process, as opposed to strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Faith, School, Thinking

Presidential candidate debate in St. Louis, Missouri, www.cnn.com. October 9, 2004.

There's a way to accomplish the separation of church and state and at the same time accomplish the social objective of having America become a hopeful place and loving place.

Faith, America, Hopeful
