For faithfulness as we pray for President-elect Barack Obama, the Vice President-Elect and other leaders.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.  colossians 1:9

As the only sovereign God, the one to whom all our allegiance is due we bow before You now.  We ask, Lord, that You will enable us now to set askide all distractions and cares and focus our prayers on all our governmental leaders, especially our new President and Vice President.

Lord, make us faithful in prayer, even when we may not agree with those You have placed into authority over us.  You have told us to remain steadfast in intercession, asking for our leaders to be flodded with all knowledge of your will.  Hold God, enable us to become true and consistent intercessors, praying for our new President and his administration, today and every day.  In the name of Jesus, Amen.

For insight and wisdom for President Elect Obama’s choice for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Shaun Donovan, so the homeless may be helped and those in difficulty with their housing situation may be assisted.

The king will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.  Matthew 25:40

Loving God, in Your goodness and love You have sought us out and offered us the free gift of salvation.  We praise and glorify You for such extraordinary love; it is expressed in the love we show for one another, especially those in dire need.

Lord, we thank You for leading President-Elect Barack Obama to choose Shaun Donovan to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.  We pray that you will give him great compassion and wisdom, enabling him to see the needs of others above his own at all times.  May he be willing to flight for “the least of these” as an advocate for those who otherwise might have none.  Heavenly Father, let Your will be done for through the work of Shaun Donovan and his team, in the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

for the new administration to desire to know and do God‘s will in all things

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.  Ephesians 5:17

Awesome God, You see all and You know all!  You rule over history and time, yet You are neither bound nor governed by them.  I praise You because You are sovereign and You know both the beginning and the end, for Your will shall be accomplished.

The discernment of Your will, Lord, is a challenging thing for the layman as well as the leader.  As we seek You in prayerand through Your Word, You make Your word, You make Your will manifest for each and every situation.  Do this, O God, for our nation’s new leaders, from President-Elect Braack Obama downward.  Give this administration an unquenchable need to discern and carry out what You desire for our nation.  We pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen
