I am extremely impressed by the brilliance of a blog post that Beth Moore posted this past Monday, the day before the election. She challenged everyone to write a prayer for our future (at that point, unknown) President. The prayers that people responded with were beautiful, heart-felt, and scripture-filled. I encourage you to take a few minutes to read Beth's post and the prayers that follow it in the comments. And then I encourage you to pray those same kinds of prayers...for our President, for all of the leaders who were recently elected, and for our nation.

Say It Today, Pray It Tomorrow
Also consider how you might incorporate this into the prayers you pray as a family. Are you teaching your child from an early age to pray prayers that aren't always focused on "self" but point to "others"? I am more convinced than I ever have been before that prayer is foundational to anything we as Christ-followers hope to achieve in this life. So, Pray, Pray, PRAY!
