   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.
