Our prayer today, Our Father, is for President-Elect Barack Obama. [Please add your prayers as well.]<\/p>\n
\nOur prayers include:<\/p>\n
That You, the infinite font of wisdom, might grant him wisdom daily.<\/p>\n
That You, the loving God of all, might grant him love for you and for others, including our enemies.<\/p>\n
That You, the holy and righteous God of justice, might empower him to do what is right in all that he does.<\/p>\n
That You, the Lord, might grant him the charisma of insight to lead in this turbulent world and time.<\/p>\n
That You, the Healer, might grant him the grace of reconciling damaged relations in this country and in the world about us.<\/p>\n
That You, the God of Life, might grant him a commitment to act for all — the unborn and born, the young and old, the civilian and the soldier — to preserve life and honor that each of us is fashioned in the image of God.<\/p>\n
That You, the Father, might grant him the time and wisdom to father his two young daughters and love Michelle, his wife.<\/p>\n
And that You, the God of all comfort, might grace him and his family as they mourn the loss of his grandmother.<\/p>\n
Lord, hear our prayer.<\/p>\n
Through Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
