This week of prayer comes at a time when the subject is already on my mind. See You At The Pole is coming up, and it's an event that is close to my heart. It gives us an opportunity to look at the leaders of our schools and government in a different way-the way Jesus sees them.
Lord, we thank You for Your leadership in our lives. Even though we don't always recognize it, we take the time today to remember that You have placed our teachers, principals, and superintendents in positions of power over us. Our president and congressmen have been chosen by Your hand for this time in history. Help us to move past the prejudices of our human eyes and see them from Your perspective--as people whom You love. We pray for strength, courage and wisdom for them to seek the right course of action and move forward into it. We pray for them to seek You in all they do. We ask You to give us the courage to stand up for the truth of Jesus Christ, and to live in Your will. Help us to be humble in our relationship to You and to our leaders. Remind us to submit to their authority; that which You have given to them. Most importantly, give them peace and rest in this time of turmoil. As we remember those who died on September 11, 2001, help us also to remember those who lived, those who made the tough decisions in the days following the tragedy, and who have been making tough choices ever since.
Lead us, Lord, into peace and grace. Even when things seem hopeless, help us to remember Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
