In all seriousness, the Bible commands us to honor those who have been set in authority before us. Now that Obama is President, I will fervently pray that God will help him to make wise decisions for our country. I pray that he will surround himself with smart and experienced advisors who want the best for our country. I pray that the practice of abortion will not gain a stronger foothold in our land. And, I pray that our enemies will not rise against us, emboldened by a perceived weakness in our future military response.
