History is being made today! I plan to have the tv on, discuss the day’s events with my kids while praying for Barack Obama and his family throughout today and the coming years.
“I urge you, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:1-3
Prayers for Barack Obama (found here)
Our prayer, today, Our Father, is for President Elect Barack Obama:
That You, the infinite font of wisdom, might grant him wisdom daily.
That You, the loving God of all, might grant him love for you and for others, including our enemies.
That You, the holy and righteous God of justice, might empower him to do what is right in all that he does.
That You, the Lord, might grant him the charisma of insight to lead in this turbulent world and time.
That You, the Healer, might grant him the grace of reconciling damaged relations in this country and in the world about us.
That You, the God of Life, might grant him a commitment to act for all — the unborn and born, the young and old, the civilian and the soldier — to preserve life and honor that each of us is fashioned in the image of God.
That You, the Father, might grant him the time and wisdom to father his two young daughters and love Michelle, his wife.
And that You, the God of all comfort, might grace him and his family as they mourn the loss of his grandmother.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
you’ve inspired me to stop complaining and start praying.
