Christian Reflection and Prayer

Day Seventy-Six: January 19, 2009
1 days.

For God’s leading and guiding to be
with President Elect Obama and every
part of his administration as he takes
the oath of office Guide me in Your truth
and teach me, for You are God my Savior,
and my hope is in You all day long.
—Psalm 25:5

Prayer:

O Lord God, You are supreme over all
things and all persons and all powers.
We proclaim Your glory and Your authority
and might. You have put all things in place,
and You rule in truth and beauty.

Inauguration Day is upon us, Holy God,
and President Elect Obama is about to
be sworn in to office. This is a time of
great transition and newness for our nation
and the world. You are a God of certainty,
whose control is sure, whose ways are
perfect. Therefore, we ask in faith that
You anoint and bless President Elect
Obama and his administration. May
they serve our country well and with
the highest integrity. As these leaders
enter the White House and all the echelons
of our government to lead our nation into
the future, I ask You to be powerfully
present in their lives and to bless them.
In the wonderful name of Jesus Christ, amen.
