We will join the other churches of our community at a breakfast this morning to pray for our country. It seems to me that this is something we can all agree about, regardless of our denominational ties (or lack of them) and political preferences. Our country needs prayer.
My assignment is to lead in prayer for President Bush and his administration and I read Romans 13 this morning again remembering that governmental authorities are "God's servants."
That depiction is troublesome when we consider some of the leaders of the recent past, apart from what we may believe about the sovereignty of God. With President Bush and his avowed profession of faith, it is easier for me personally to see him as a servant of God, and to continue, as we have been doing, to pray for him.
Pray for our president today.
