You are welcome, Carol. The events of this past week are reminding me to keep praying. It’ll be interesting to see how God chooses to intervene.

We all need to continue to pray. It’s the only thing left to do. Our leaders all need God’s guidance. This was a great post. Thank you.

Rainer, thank you for your comment. The Bible doesn’t tell us to pray for our leaders in order that every action of theirs be blessed or approved by God. Leaders are still responsible for their own actions while believers are responsible to intercede on their behalf.

Once I pray, I leave the results in God’s hands. They don’t always turn out the way that I want or expect, but I’ve done my part: obeyed.

Hallo,

the idea to pray for one’s leader is appealing, and I would say, I see no reason, why not to do it.

On the other hand should religion and power be separated. G.W always talked always of God, but in my opinion he ordered an unjust war, in which many civilians lost their lifes. Religion should not be used to gather people behind false goals…..

Thanks for the award, Karen. I’m busy with a project right now but I’ll see what I can do with spreading the word later on.

I understand being busy! Oftentimes, I find myself shooting up a quick prayer to the Lord, especially as I read the news. I think, “Oh, Lord!” is sometimes sufficient though I do know the need to add a few words of intercession too. President Obama needs it!

This is definitely something I need to start doing. It’s one of those things I know I should do, but just forget. I have more pressing matters to pray about.
