4 Ways to Pray for the White House and Change the World

I see you there, mama.  You are changing diapers, vacuuming carpets, carpooling, and cutting coupons.   Every night, you tuck your precious little ones into bed, and you pray for them to love Jesus.  You act out Bible stories and encourage them to share.  You want to raise champions for God.  You are a World Changer.  

Yes, I know that the President of the United States is the supposedly the most powerful man in the world.  But you, Woman of God, hold power as well.  You hold power to love, to teach, to mold, and to encourage.  You are shaping the future right there in your home.   You are World Changer.  

Yes, I realize that you turn on the television and watch the news and wonder what kind of world your precious charges are going to grow up to find, but right there in your home, you have power to impact the future.  You can fight on your knees.  Rather than worry and think that you don’t have any influence over the state of world affairs, lift your heart to the Chief in Command.  Your Father holds the most power.  He is sovereign oer all.  

Here are 4 Ways to Pray for the White House and Change the World:

1.    Pray for our government officials and their families to humbly yield their lives to Christ. 

”If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14

2.     Pray for God to foster a Biblical worldview in the hearts and minds of our President and all the men and women who serve in the political sector.

”See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8

3.    Pray for God to grant our President discernment and integrity so that He makes wise choices the promote truth, life and peace. 

“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” I Timothy 2:1-2

4.    Join in prayer with other likeminded believers by signing up for the Presidential Prayer Team at http://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/signup.asp

“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Matthew 18:19-20

You might not ever set foot inside the White House, but you can impact the climate there by praying faithfully for God’s purposes to be fulfilled in Washington.  I see you there on your knees, mama.  You will change the world one prayer at a time.
