I often hear people say that they would never want the
president’s job. It does age the person
in office! Whether we agree with the
current president’s policies or not, we agree that he has a difficult position. He deserves our prayers. As we work peacefully for what we believe is
right in government, we look to the Lord for guidance. God’s kingdom is one of justice and freedom
and equal rights and peace. Not all
Christians will agree on how we should try to make the kingdom a reality here
and now, but we all agree that we should be striving for that goal. Let’s join together in prayer for our leaders
today and every day.
Lord God of justice and mercy, we ask you to bless and guide our
government leaders. Help them to act
with the interests of the people in their hearts and to abandon
self-interest. We especially ask your
blessings for President Obama. May the
lessons we have learned from the successes and mistakes of the past and the directions of
Scripture be in his heart and mind. In
name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
