5 Ways We Can Pray For Our New Leaders

/
Tomorrow is inauguration day. With it comes excitement and anticipation for many. But for others come fear and concern. Whichever side of the fence you are on there is one thing we can do to help these men being sworn into office. We can pray for our new leaders and their families.

5 Ways to Pray for Our New Leaders
There is no doubt in the stress level that comes with being the President and Vice President of the United States of America. They are not the only ones to suffer this stress but their families also; moving to a new residence, new school, and having someone at your elbow every moment would drive me insane.

America has not reached a point of no return. There is still time for things will turn around. God allowed these two men to be elected. He has a purpose in using them and He will get the glory in all things.

While many Americans are spewing hate filled words about our President-elect. There are many more standing behind him, praying.

5 Ways We Can Pray For Our Leaders


Protection – there’s a lot of hateful talk going around. I believe Donald Trump needs protection like no other president has needed. I’m praying for those who are in the position to stand before him as a line of defense. I’m praying the Lord’s army of angels will be encamped around these two men and their families wherever they go.

Wisdom – there is only one kind of wisdom our leaders need and that is the  wisdom of God. (James 3:17) When they follow their wisdom, things will become a mess, so a heavenly wisdom is a necessity.

Peaceful – it’s difficult living in a world racked with hatred. We need leaders who will be peace loving without selling out our country and allies. Praying for our leaders to be peaceful in all conversations and actions. (Hebrews 12:14)

Open to Reason – a good leader is one who listens. He knows he can’t do the job on his own, but with the help of others. Listening to others is so important when in leadership. (James 3:17)

A Clean Heart – our leaders need pure hearts in their personal lives. But for dealing with world powers and smaller inner-governmental powers, our leaders need clean hearts and hands
just as much also. They should not be found in the middle of misdealings for unethical reasons. (Psalm 51:10)

While there are many more areas our leaders need pray in, these are five ways I’m focusing on as our new leaders take office. Will you join me in praying for our new leaders?

Memorial Day 2015

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day. While you're doing whatever your family does to celebrate this holiday, please remember the REAL reason why we are celebrating. It's not about BBQ and get togethers, but remembering those who have died during their service to our country.



My family and I will be visiting the Custer National Cemetery at Little Big Horn in honor of this holiday.

It's Flag Day

It's Flag Day!


On June 14, 1777, John Adams spoke about the flag at a meeting of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. He said, "Resolved, that the flag of the thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation." There have been twenty-seven official versions of the flag so far; stars have been added to it as states have entered the Union. The current version dates to July 4, 1960, when Hawaii became the 50th state.

On May 30, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14.In August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Many Americans celebrate Flag Day by displaying the Red, White and Blue in front of homes and businesses. The day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States.

We need to fly our country's flag with pride. Our country has some serious situations going on at the moment, but we live in the BEST country there is. A country that God has had his hand on from the beginning.
