"Let us pray"

As we all know, the free world now has a new leader. I have spent quite some time on thinking and praying about/for President Obama. I don't believe there has ever been a leader in recent years with as much pressure placed on them as our President does today. As we watch the media coverage, listen to civilian interviews, both domestic and foreign, it is near impossible to avoid recognizing the amount of hope placed into this one man.

There are countless topics one could field when speaking/writing about the President. However, I'd like to take this time and opportunity to focus on just one. Prayer.

As a church, we have been spending a ton of time addressing prayer. With all the chaos and daily distractions of our lives, its often difficult to pray for anything outside of ourselves and even more difficult to pray for someone we do not know on a personal level. President Obama is in a position to make all the difference in the world, literally. Let's all remember to keep him in our prayers and to look to the leader of ALL. With so much to be fixed, poverty, broken families, the current economic state, countless lives lost in "holy" wars, widows, orphans, health of Mother Nature, etc., where does one begin, with the world awaiting your "repairs," no less? Let's pray for our President. Let's pray for him through his victories as well as his struggles. As President Obama does his best to improve the current state of our country, let's do our part. In the words of Steven Curtis Chapman, "Let us pray." Let us not look to President Obama to save a broken world, rather, let us look to the Saviour of all to work THROUGH President Obama.

Thanks for reading everyone! Have a GREAT rest of the week.
