Scripture tells us to pray for those in authority over us. When it comes to our president, our prayers these last 8 years have been on behalf of George Bush. The eight years prior to that our prayers were on behalf of Bill Clinton. In January the prayers for our president will shift to only the third person in 16 years, Barack Obama.
Let us continue praying for President Bush. These are difficult days for him. Let us also prepare to pray for our future President Obama. He, as well, will be moving into the position of president in a very difficult time period.
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” (I Timothy 2:1-2)
