I praise God that we have a President who unashamedly professes faith in God, quotes scripture in his speeches and admits he prays. However, because of this, he needs to be uplifted in prayer each and every day.
Among other things, the DMN article says, "The sincerity of the president's religious commitment seems beyond doubt. He is a churchgoing Methodist who said he has not drunk alcohol since 1986, when he recommitted himself to Jesus Christ. In 1999, when asked in a campaign debate what political philosopher he most identified with, Mr. Bush named Jesus, "because he changed my heart. At the same time, Mr. Bush's stepped-up efforts to express his faith coincide with a White House drive to court religious conservatives in advance of the president's 2004 re-election campaign."
I work at my church and during our staff meeting on Mondays, we spend time praying for our President. We also have a staff prayer time on Thursday mornings, and we specifically spend time praying for our President. We pray for God's guidance and direction in the literal life-and-death decisions President Bush is having to make as well as strength and courage for him as his faith is coming under attack.
