Our government and its leaders are receiving more attention than perhaps any time since the Civil War- some of it is good and some of it is bad. Most Christians and/or thinking men are aware of its faults, are aware of the corrupt and/or incompetent leaders, and have strong opinions and wishes regarding the way things should be.
However, let us be humble in the face of imperfect authority. Pray for them. Obey. This will testify to the truth much more than open disrespect, even for corrupt and immoral policies and politicans.
Before the inevitable politicking, compromising, and everything else that will make it hard for us to respond to, I plan to go home and pray. I suggest praying through one of these solid prayers: 1, 2.
