Christian Reflection and Prayer

Day Forty-Five: March 6, 2009

For President Obama to have God’s
wisdom as he works with members
of his team to solve our country’s
economic crisis

Who, then, is the man that fears
the LORD? He will instruct him in
the way chosen for him. He will
spend his days in prosperity, and
his descendants will inherit the land.
--Psalm 25:12-13 (NIV)

Mighty God, all resources and all
wealth have You as their origin.
I praise You for Your greatness
and power; for the awesome and
vast wealth and wisdom that are
found in You. You are the source
of all wisdom, and You kindly
promise to give wisdom to Your
children when we humble ourselves
and ask You for it! I praise and bless
You for this today, Lord!

I bring before You the great need in
our nation for economic recovery,
asking that You guide President
Obama and his economic advisory
team as they work together to bring
a turnaround in our nation’s troubled
economy. Lead them with Your wisdom,
gracious Lord, and let them be eager
to seek Your guidance as they
discern how to help our economy
and, in turn, those most deeply
impacted by the current troubles.
I ask this in Your holy name,
Lord Jesus Christ, amen.
