WEEKLY PRAYER SHEET 02/05/2017
Prayers continue to be needed… In our government. As the church, let us be faithful to pray for those working in our governments, i.e. local, state, and federal. There are those who have been called to service and they need our prayers...for wisdom, strength, and discernment as they perform their duties. We called out to the Lord for mercy in November when we knew that, as a nation, we deserved judgment; so let us stay on the job. If we don’t, we will lose the ground that has been taken and will be worse off than before. In the new administration, we have fellow believers who covet your prayers: Mike Pence (Vice President), Betsy DeVos (Education), Jeff Sessions (Attorney General), Ben Carson (HUD), Rick Perry (Energy) Mike Pampeo (CIA), Scott Pruitt (EPA), Dan Coats (Dir. of National Intelligence), Tom Price (HHS), and Sonny Purdue (Agriculture), as well as President Trump, of whom there have been reports of being a new believer. And now there is a nominee for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch, who is a strong conservative, a proponent of originalism, the idea that the Constitution should be interpreted as the Founding Fathers would have interpreted it, and ruled in cases for religious freedom. Along with this list there are the Congressmen and women who are believers, we are blessed.
Let us be found faithful to the task!!
