An Overwhelming Task

I was reading the first few verses of 1 Timothy 2 the other day. It is a call for us to pray for our leaders and those who exercise authority over us. That applies whether they are your party or not. But, as I prayed for our current and soon-to-be Presidents, I began to think about their job compared to mine. Sometimes, my "to-do" list gets overwhelming, but think about the President's:
Fix the economy, balance the budget (reconcile those two!), bring the wars we are fighting to the best outcomes, keep the homeland safe, and..!

You ever notice how Presidents age while in office—especially the two-term ones? No wonder. Yes they have lots of helpers, but there are many "hinderers" as well. It is a huge task this man has. We need to pray for him, and all those who exercise authority over us. If you need reasons why, find a Bible and read the first few verses of 1 Timothy 2.
