Pray for America's 44th President
"I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."
(1 Timothy 2:1-2)
This afternoon at 12 noon EST, Barack Hussein Obama placed his hand on the Bible used by Abraham Lincoln at his inauguration in 1861 and was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America.
Mr. Obama was not my choice for President, but that does not change the fact that God chose to let him be placed in that office. As the text above from First Timothy states, it is our duty to pray for our leaders, regardless of whether or not we voted for them to be in those positions of authority.
Kimberly at Joyful Momma's Musings has put together a guide to help families pray for our new president. I encourage you to take a look and use her helpful tool in your daily prayer time.
