Very good interview.
Gov. Perry isn’t shy about his feelings.
David Brody: “I’m wondering this campaign, there’s been some ups and downs, talk to me from more of a spiritual perspective, maybe a spiritual struggle that you’ve had to deal with during your times, your quiet times with the Lord. You pray for Mitt Romney, right?”
Gov. Rick Perry: “And pray for this President. I pray for this President almost everyday. Not almost, every day. I pray for his wisdom, I pray for God to open his eyes. This is going to be up, it’s going to be down, but I pray for strength and wisdom. Whether it was Moses leading the Israelites or whether it was David walking into that plain with five smooth stones, to realize that God’s going to be with you, and don’t fear anything, He’s in charge. And ask for the Holy Spirit to guide your tongue and the wisdom of your body, and the wisdom of your thoughts, and to actually put the words in your mouth. From time to time, I overcome the Holy Spirit and I have to say, well, Lord, I said something and didn’t really let you really be driving the process.”
David Brody: “Where are you without God? If God is not in your life?”
Gov. Rick Perry: “I’m lost, is where I would be. I can no more separate myself from God’s love than I can separate myself from my history of being a tenant farmer’s son, or my accent. That’s part of my life. It’s part of who I am. So, everyday, I ask for God’s wisdom, everyday, I ask for His guidance, and without it, I truly would be lost, in more ways than one.”
I like what I hear. :)
