The media has been filled with the news of the upcoming inauguration. Tomorrow is going to be crazy in the world of news. My mind has been on this for the past week or so. One of my devotionals talked about this very thing. We need to pray for our new president, his family, and that God will keep them safe. Here's an excerpt from today's proverbs 31 ministry devotional.
This month, the United States is inaugurating a new President. It's a time to observe and utilize our religious freedoms. Let's start by praying for our newly elected President and all government officials. Let's honor God's command found in our key verse, "I urge, 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." As followers of Christ who is the Prince of Peace, let's honor, respect and pray for our President.
As I look at the baby in my nativity manger, I remember that He is not only the King of kings and Lord of lords. He is the Wonderful Counselor who guides Presidents, leaders, and you and I as well. Let's lift them up in prayer.
Dear Lord, I pray for our national leaders. Allow their hearts to be open to Your wisdom and guidance. Remind me to pray for them fervently and frequently. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
I thought that was good. Remember to stop and pray for the Obamas tomorrow.
