Prayer for the Day - January 3, 2012

Dear God, I praise you and lift up your name for you are great and greatly to be praised. Today I am reminded of the many and awesome responsibilities of my country's President and leaders. I pray that you will work in their lives to bring about your will. I pray that you will provide wisdom and knowledge and unction from on high for each day, each decision, each challenge they face. I pray for protection from harm and from evil influences. I pray for your intervention where needed. Please bless those who serve you and seek your will. And may you receive the honor and glory for all the good that is done. In Jesus' name I pray, amen
