77 Days of Prayer for our New President

Day Fifty-Eight: January 1, 2009 19 days,

For faithfulness as we pray for President-Elect
Barack Obama, the Vice President-Elect and
other leaders For this reason, since the day
we heard about you, we have not stopped
praying for you and asking God to fill you
with the knowledge of His will through all
spiritual wisdom and understanding.
—Colossians 1:9

As the only sovereign God, the one to
whom all our allegiance is due, we bow
before You now. We ask, Lord, that
You will enable us now to set aside
all distractions and cares and focus
our prayers on all of our governmental
leaders, especially our new President
and Vice President.

Lord, make us faithful in prayer, even
when we may not agree with those
You have placed into authority over
us. You have told us to remain steadfast
in intercession, asking for our leaders to
be flooded with all knowledge of Your will.
Holy God, enable us to become true and
consistent intercessors, praying for our
new President and his administration,
today and every day. In the name of
Jesus, amen.
