Pray for Our President Week - Day 2

Sorry the post is so late tonight...

I'm so excited to see what the Lord is going to do through our prayers this week!

Here's something specific that the Lord has laid on my heart to pray for, especially during my church's PFOPW prayer meeting tonight:

Romans 10:14 says, "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?"

Although there are many stories of people coming to Christ simply through reading the Bible, most often God brings the message of Salvation through the witness of one of His servants. I believe that God is preparing someone - or some ones - to confront President Obama with the Law of God, and share the Gospel of forgiveness through Jesus Christ with him.

Any Christian who has shared their faith before (or tried to) realizes that speaking up with the message of Salvation is not easy in any case. Satan tries to attack wherever he can. How much more intimidating is it when it comes to witnessing to someone who is antagonistic toward the Word of God, and even more, if that person happens to be president of the United States.

For this reason, as we pray this week for President Obama to surrender his life to Jesus Christ, I believe that we also need to pray for the person or people who God is preparing to lead him to Christ.

Pray that God would give him/her/them courage to step far out of their comfort zones and put their trust totally in God, that God would show them the opportunities He gives them, and that He would put His words in their mouths.
