| Wendell, I too have a Prayer Site for World Issues, including prayers for President Obama on another site. I am copying one of the prayers I have composed for that site here. It is fitting to your purpose. Keep the Faith and your reward is sure. May God our Heavenly Father richly bless you and yours.

Dear Supreme Being, Ruler of the Universe, Omnipotent One,
I first praise you for your Omniscience and for the Favor you have bestown on us all. In particular, Father, I give you honor, glory and praise for allowing us all to live to see manifest the reality of an African-American President of the United States. Lord, you have appointed this man amid threats of harm and destruction. Only you, God, can protect him and guide him upon his way.
These first 100 days, Lord, have been momentous. But they are not without fear of mistakes and missteps. So Father, we plead with you to guide his decision-making. Make the way plain and safe for him wherever he steps. Father give him the supernatural conceptualizations that will bring this country back to its former economic security and empowering status. Help him to choose wisely among the ever-present, long-threatening world issues. Father, help him erase the mistakes of the past 8 years and keep his promises of equanimity, liberation and justice against the imperialistic odds. Father, you know how difficult it must be for him to hold the lives of the people in the palms of his hands. It is a tremendously awesome responsibility. Lord, make him strong to the task and keep him resilient in the face of threatening danger not only to the country, his family and himself. God we have no choice but to rely on you, thus we do obeisance in the name of your Precious Son Christ Jesus, the Light of the World. O Lord, hear our Praer. Amen.
