Praying for the President-Elect
One of my regular visitors over at Sojourner’s Place, who comments under the handle Nate The Word Keeper, often provided Biblical testimony regarding the 2008 Presidential Candidates. Although, a McCain supporter, Nate most recent prayer is an acknowledgement that God remains in control and that His Will will always be done. You may read the entire prayer here, but I thought it fitting to post an excerpt of it below. Barack Obama is the President-Elect and we must unite and pray that his leadership is ordered by God.
Father God we also ask that you protect President-Elect Obama and his family. For you have said ‘touch not my annointed one’. You have given him an opportunity to make history in a land where our African-American history began. From the first slave that was brought to these shores, you ordained this day, November 4, 2008 to take place. Bring out in him what you have equipped him with. Guide him in this time of financial difficulty and uncertainty. Counsel him in a dangerous world. Most of all O’ Lord let him know that if he seeks Your face You will never leave nor forsake him. Set Your love upon him.
Let him be a President that gains the respect of all inhabitants of this mighty nation as well as the nations of the world and it’s leaders. Make him a strong, unwaivering and wise Commander-In-Chief. As you have said in Your book Habukkuk “Look at the nations and watch— and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told” Lord, we are indeed amazed.
There is no God like you. We thank you for hearing this prayer from our hearts to Yours. In the name of The Lord of Lords and The King of Kings Jesus The Christ, we say Amen and Amen”.
God Bless,
Your servant Nate
