Pray for President Obama to keep the vital spiritual disciplines of Bible reading and prayer, that he may hear and obey God’s leading."He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God." -- John 8:47 (NIV)
"What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!"
The words from this hymn, Lord, remind us once again of the incredible truth that You listen and hear us when we pray. In Your Word we read that you often saved godly kings from their enemies. They were leaders who knew how important it was to listen to you and obey your leading and commands. From these true stories we learn You surely do listen and respond when we call on You. We thank and praise You for this O God.
We ask, Lord, that You would give the same realization to the leader of our nation, President Barack Obama. Encourage and equip him, O God, to maintain a daily habit of searching Your ways through the Bible…and of searching Your heart through prayer. Let President Obama speak to You, O mighty God, and may You respond to his praises and requests. We pray in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming 
conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom, and that of all about me, seemed insufficient for the day.
—Abraham Lincoln
As we lift up our nation and our President in prayer each day we can count on the fact that God will hear our prayers and answer them.
God Bless, Roger
