scripture

1 Timothy 2:1-2 (New International Version)

1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—
2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

77 Days of Prayer for our New President

Day Six: November 10, 2008
71 days, 16 hours and 20 minutes left until inauguration day.


For the President-Elect to be genuinely humbled before God as he faces the daunting task of leading our nation for the next four years The fear of the Lord teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.—Proverbs 15:33

Holy God, You give us the gift of communication with You through prayer. You promise to guide us as we humble ourselves before You, and You declare Your truth and insight to us as we listen to You respond to our supplications.

Today, Heavenly Father, we ask that You would empower our new President to revere You, putting aside all pride and self-centeredness as he acknowledges who You are and what You wish to accomplish through him. Show him that for him to be honored, he must humble himself before You and be taught by Your voice and by Your Word. As he does this, Lord, give him confidence that, as he trusts in You, You will equip him to meet the challenges of his high calling as President of the United States. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
