A Radical Idea — Pray for the President

This post was written by Bob Brown, director of the MDRTL chapter in Harford County.

I'm sure that most of us were dismayed when we learned that Mr. Obama had won the election, simply for the unborn lives present and future that could be in even more jeopardy.

My family, by what can only be described as a supernatural act of God, have felt a deep and genuine love for Mr Obama and his dear family. We pray for him and his family once or twice a day—usually at dinner and at bedtime devotions—with a love and, dare I say, expectation, that things are not going to be as dismal as one might think. We pray for the following:

1. that Mr. Obama and his family would come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, if such is not currently the case;
2. that the Lord would not let Mr. Obama be surrounded by advisors who would speak evil against preborn children;
3. that Mr. Obama would understand that he is responsible to God first and then to the American public; and
   
4. that Mr. Obama would realize the special position he is in as a leader and a father to enact real change in how our nation and culture view family, parenting, and preborn children
