Prayer

Prayer is perhaps the most effective tool we have. James 5:16 says, "...The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." (NIV) I encourage you to take time out of your schedule each day to pray for our country. Now that Obama has been elected, we need to pray more than ever for it.

First of all we should pray for Obama, that he would find God and know and obey His Word. Nothing is impossible for God. The most wicked king in Israel eventually repented and got right with God! I pray that Obama would not wait nearly as long as Manassah did.

Second, we need to pray for our current president, Bush, that in these last months as president he would seek God and obey His commands.

Third, for revival in the US. That many many people would come to know Jesus and those who are lukewarm would rededicate their lives to Him. That morality would rise in our country.

Fourth, for whatever God directs you to pray for. The above is only a guideline of what to pray for. You are by no means restricted to only the aforementioned list. Let God direct your prayers.

Finally, do not despair. The Lord is still King! (Ps 97:1) If we trust in God and follow Him, He will direct our steps. He will take care of us. Remember, nothing surprises God.

In Christ,
