In Honor of Presidents Day
by Sandra Gilmore
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14
Ever made history? Ever changed history? This week you can - -with your prayers. In honor of Presidents' Day, please pray for the direction of our country, and as you do, you will participate in one of the most critical times in our nation's history. This week's devotion series is a reflection of the times we are in. We've compiled a collection of prayers from former presidents throughout our nation's history. Some will surprise you. Some will touch you. Hopefully, all will motivate you to pray for this great nation!
And for our international friends, please take this opportunity to pray for your own political leaders. The world needs God's love and wisdom!
See if you recognize the following plea for prayer. Check back tomorrow to see who actually offered this plea for prayer for our nation's leaders.
Pray for the people in public office. . .I ask you to pray for us. . .Pray for the people in public office that we can rid ourselves of this toxic atmosphere of cynicism, and embrace with joy and gratitude this phenomenal opportunity and responsibility before us. Do not forget people in the rest of the world who depend upon the United States for more than exhortation, and most of all, remember that in every scripture of every faith, there are hundreds and hundreds of admonitions - - to not forget those among us who are poor. They are no longer entitled to a handout, but they surely deserve and we are ordered to give them a hand up.
