PRAYING FOR THE PRESIDENT
AND OTHERS IN AUTHORITY
 

Pray that our elected officials would:
 

1. Recognize their personal sinfulness and need for the cleansing power of Jesus Christ.
    

2. Understand their inadequacy for the task before them and their need to pray for God's wisdom, knowledge, and courage.
    

3. Reject all counsel that violates the spiritual principles of God's Word and be willing to trust God to lead them in the right direction.
    

4. Resist the pressures of those who would lead them astray or tempt them to disobey the Lord and His will for their lives.
    

5. Work to reverse the trend toward ungodliness in our land and to restore our Christ-centered values.
    

6. Be prepared to make godly choices in the best interest of our country, regardless of the cost.
    

7. Rely upon the Word of God and prayer for strength and success.
    

8. Maintain dignity, honor, trustworthiness, and righteousness in office.
    

9. Strive to be a godly example to the men, women, and children of this land.
    

10. Remember that while in office, they are accountable to God for their attitudes, actions, and motives.
