2010 was a wild year in politics. Like me, you probably applaud some of the decisions made by our elected officials in Washington D.C. this year and have been disappointed in others. (There's also a good chance that our lists of
likes and
dislikes don't look exactly the same.) You and I can grumble and complain all day long about what we don't like about the politics of Washington. We can argue with one another about issues and decisions and write letters or make calls to our elected representatives with imperceptible results. We are
not powerless, however. One thing that I resolve to do in 2011 is to pray regularly for our leaders there. Specifically, I'm praying that
- God will grant them wisdom and discernment,
- they will be faithful to seek God as they exercise their responsibilities as our elected officials,
- they will conduct themselves honorably and respectfully in such a way that their actions reflect favorably on them and our country, and
- they will be bold to make the right decisions even when faced with opposition.
What about you? Are you in?
