Keeping things given to us by God simple, even though we live in a very complicated world.

Pray for those in authority

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.

1Timothy 2:1-3 The Message

By now, we all know the next president of the United States will be Barack Obama. Whether or not you voted for him, our command from the Bible is to now pray for him. If as Americans, we pray for our leaders, we can help cause change.

This is so true. I know many people are upset this morning that McCain did not win. I hope they will put that disappointment aside and support our new president and pray for him, and pray that God continues to favor our country. And that we, as believers FIRST, put GOD first.
