Prayer for Obama's foreign policy

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day and thank you for the Obama Prayer Team's dedication to stay together as a group to continue to pray for Obama, Biden, the Administration, and this country. Today foreign policy is heavy on my heart, specifically Afghanistan and Pakistan. I was fortunate last night to meet Greg Mortensen and listen to him speak on Afghanistan and Pakistan. He has helped promote peace in the region by building schools, primarily for girls. He feels that what that area needs most is educational opportunities, not more war. He believes that Afghanistan needs to be listened to, that they know what they need and the only hope they have to end 30 plus years of war is education and opportunities.

Lord, I know that your servant, Barack Obama, is a man who is empathetic and listens. He is a peacemaker and he believes in the value of education. May he use your wisdom in dealing with Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Taliban and Al Qaeda, being a blessed peacemaker for that region, our country and the world.

In Jesus Name,
Amen
