Whether you voted for Obama or not, you need to pray for him. Here are 10
ways you can intercede for him regularly:
*1. Pray for Obama's protection.* We already know that some weird, neo-Nazi
fanatics in Tennessee plotted to kill Sen. Obama during his campaign. Let's
pray that racist hatred is not allowed to spread. Let's cancel every
assassin's bullet in the name of Jesus. May civility triumph over bigotry.
*2. Cover his wife and daughters in prayer.* It is not easy to live under
constant media scrutiny. Pray for Obama's wife, Michelle, and their two
daughters, Malia and Natasha, as they face invasive cameras, nosy reporters,
maniacal fans and dangerous enemies. Obama is not only a politician but also
a husband and a father.
*3. Pray that Obama will govern with God's wisdom.* God rewarded Solomon
because he asked for wisdom instead of wealth, long life or vengeance on his
enemies (see 1 Kings 3:11-12). Pray that Obama will order his priorities
like that. Despite Solomon's tragic character flaws, his legacy was wisdom.
We can ask God to give our president the same grace.
*4. Ask God to keep our president humble*. Many great American leaders
became corrupt after they moved to Washington. The fatal attraction of fame,
wealth and power proved irresistible. The only thing that will guard a man
or woman from this pitfall is humility. May God deliver President Obama from
the curse of pride.
*5. Pray for wise and righteous advisers to surround him.* Godly leaders
cannot do their job alone. Even the best leaders have failed because they
trusted the wrong people. Pray that Obama will not select his counselors
based on party, race, pedigree or political cronyism but on godly character
and proven wisdom. Pray also that he will not allow secret traitors into his
inner circle.
*6. Ask for the spirit of reconciliation.* Some segments of our deeply
divided society want nothing to do with Obama now that he has won the
presidency. Even some Christians will be tempted to harbor resentment and
nurse political grudges throughout his term in office. Pray that God will
grant forgiveness and healing so that leaders on all political levels can
have constructive dialogue.
*7. Pray that Obama will adopt pro-life convictions.* Many politicians have
changed their views on key issues while in office. In the 1800s some leaders
who favored slavery later denounced it. In the 1950s some who opposed racial
integration later became champions of it. Even though Obama won approval
from many voters because he sanctions abortion, God could soften and change
his heart.
*8. Bind all evil forces assigned to manipulate our president. *The specter
of Islamic terrorism looms over the United States, and dark forces are ready
to infiltrate. Our only hope lies in prayer to the God who is able to expose
and outwit the schemes of the wicked. This is truly a time for spiritual
warfare, and intercessors must not come off the wall in this hour! Pray that
no foreign government, terrorist organization or demonic principality will
use Obama as a tool. We must stand strong against the spirit of antichrist
that promotes dictatorship, persecution of Christians and hostility toward
Israel.
*9. Pray that Obama's door will remain open to the church.* The loudest
voices of secular culture—from Bill Maher in Hollywood to atheists in
academia—would be happy if religion were removed from public life. Pray that
Obama, who claims to have a personal faith in Jesus Christ, will
unapologetically welcome Christian leaders into his company and seek their
counsel. And pray that false religious leaders (who claim to know Christ but
deny His power) will not have his ear.
*10. Pray that our nation will enjoy God's peace and blessing during the
Obama administration.* The apostle Paul instructed early believers to pray
for all in authority "so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all
godliness and dignity" (1 Tim. 2:2, NASB). God's will is for America to
experience peace and prosperity so that we can continue to export the gospel
to the nations. This must happen whether a Democrat or a Republican is in
the White House. As we cry out for God's mercy on our wayward nation, pray
that He will allow us to be a light to the world as we finance global
missions, feed and heal the world's poor and share Christ's love at home and
abroad.

Founder Samuel Adams noted,
"It does not take a majority to prevail ...
but rather an irate, tireless minority,
keen on setting brushfires of freedom
in the minds of men." We know you
are one of the "tireless minority"
of conservative activists, and we
thank you for your vigilance.
