Much of the talk in the past days from certain News Stations and Radio Talk Shows have centered around whether President Obama has done a good job or a poor one in exerting his influence over the riots ongoing in the Middle East. Regardless of how well or poorly you think he has done, my question to you is have you prayed for him that God might grant him wisdom from above to help bring about peace in that region?
Read 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Each Sunday morning during our Intercessory time of prayer we lift up one nation and one local church to pray for. For some time, I gathered my information for the prayer from various resources. Recently I purchased Operation World, by Johnstone and Mandryk. This is such a wonderful resource for how we can pray specifically for the nations. I had heard this book mentioned a few times in the past, but never did any follow-up. I recommend this book for every Christian. Buy it and begin to pray for our world.
“My Father in heaven, may my glory decrease and the glory of Jesus increase.”
Based from John the Baptist’s words concerning Jesus recorded in The Gospel according to John 3:30, “He must increase, and I must decrease.”
