As a prayer warrior, I agree. I have a hard time praying for him. I will pray for the country instead.
This is a prayer from the Presidential Prayer Team website (http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/site/PageServer?pagename=77days_dayx
77 Days of Prayer for Our New President:
“For citizens to be faithful in interceding for all leaders of the new administration
‘I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.’
—I Timothy 2:1-2
“Glorious God, You are awesome and mighty, lifting up those who You desire to lift up and putting down those You desire to put down. You love it when Your people come to You with longing for righteousness and godliness. You love it when Your people come to You in prayer.
“Lord, we do that now on behalf of all the leaders in the new presidential administration. Regardless of their leanings or alliances, Lord help us to put our political agendas aside to pray fervently for all those in authority, knowing that You have placed them there. They were chosen by You to lead for such as time as this, and they are worthy of our intercessions. Enable us, O precious God, to be faithful in our calling to pray. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.”
Hope this helps. We’re actually doing it for ourselves so that “we may live peaceful and quiet lives.” (I always include a request to change my heart so that I would WANT to pray for Obama.)
