Pray for our leaders...

"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:1-4)

The opinion page of the New York Times is perhaps the last place where I would look for a prayer. But Thomas Friedman plugs one into his opinion piece from March 30th. It ends, "Dear Lord, please make President Obama lucky." It's a beautiful piece, honest, and at least from my point of view, objective.

Read his article here, and, well, please pray for our leaders. Every mistake they make means they need more prayer. And we need the practice.

And I could use the, um, humility.
