Praying for our leaders
September 23, 2022
Recently one of our senators in Washington D.C. a Christ follower himself reminded our group to pray for our president. Because Scripture tells us to. We did so. Each in our group have a sphere of influence. Varied in size and focus, yet where each of us where God has placed us.
I read the book of Esther and take courage. A Jewish orphan and then a queen. An unlikely life trajectory. She possessed more than beauty: courage, discernment, and the willingness to fast.
Fasting was done during battle in order to gain victory. I ask myself, is there a battle for the soul of our country? I believe so. Am I willing to fast? I wish to be as bold as Esther. Our countries foundations on Judeo Christian truths are shaking. For such a time as this.
