A Prayer

People to Keep in our Prayers

President Barack Obama
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid
and the people in government to value their position
and realize the country is not for them to shape but
that it should reflect those in it


The unborn and their mothers,
for the community to help her and support her
so that she can realistically choose life


For those caught up in modern-day slavery,
for the trafficked who seem invisible


For young men to seek out strong role models
to emulate healthy adults and protect the weak


For the married to stick with each other
not only when it is fun but through
sickness, poverty and difficulty too


For the children around the country and the world
who are vulnerable and in need
for their protection and their innocence


That the indecent and offenders will find
real and lasting life change through Christ


That the professing Christians will be bold and
genuine and admit that they are sinners
who follow a generous God


For fathers to lead and tend to
their families, to realize that families
are shaped by neglect as well as love


For mothers to value their children
and their role as nuturer and leader
of the next generation


For the local church to step out
and not only witness to the lost
but also minister to the ones in their own pews
