Bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado is urging Americans to pray for President-elect Obama on Tuesday as he takes the oath of office. In an open letter on his Website, Lucado, described as “America’s Pastor” by “Christianity Today” magazine said, quote, “I am a pastor, not a politician, so I can only speculate as to what awaits President-elect Barack Obama. The long-lasting benefits of good choices…the fearful consequences of poor ones…complicated social issues and relentless international problems.” Lucado said, “He needs our prayers. And it’s our privilege to pray for him. The Bible says: ‘Pray for rulers and for all who have authority so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives full of worship and respect for God.'” A prayer guide is available on Lucado’s website as well as information about a live prayer event Webcast scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. Central Standard Time.
