Why "Pray for Our President Week"?

One remnant of our history as a Christian nation that we as Americans have left is the National Day of Prayer. I highly encourage you to use that day for what it is meant for: gathering together with other believers to pray for our nation.

But surely it is obvious that, especially in the state our nation is in right now, we need a lot more than just one day set aside for prayer. We cannot pour our hearts out to God one day and forget about our need for His mercy the next. Prayer is going to have to become a way of life for us. We have to begin somewhere, and I suggest that we begin by joining together as servants of Jesus Christ to dedicate one week to gathering together in humble, earnest prayer to pray that President Barack Obama surrenders his life to Jesus Christ. Yes, you read that right.

I realize that it is easy to look at the policies and executive orders this president has made, and consider him hopeless. How does God see him? As a sinner, guilty of breaking God's entire Law, and deserving of eternal punishment in hell: exactly the same as He sees every single other person who attempts to stand in his own strength. But "
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. " (2 Peter 3:9)

There is hope for President Barack Obama if we, as the people of God, will humble ourselves, and pray for him, and seek God's face.

I believe that this is where revival in the United States of America can begin: with Christians around the nation gathering together in their churches, homes, small groups, Christian organizations, concerts, or wherever they are, and devoting themselves for an entire week to pleading for the salvation of our president.


National Pray for Our President Week is JUNE 7-13

As the planning for this event gets underway, will you join me? Will you spread the word to every Christian you know? Will you commit to spending this one week in prayer for the salvation of President Barack Obama? Will you see this one week set aside for prayer, as only a beginning of a lifestyle of humble, earnest prayer? I praise God ahead of time for what He is going to do.
