The National Prayer Breakfast Speech
President Obama gave a speech before the National Prayer Breakfast this morning in Washington D.C. Overall, I found the speech to be pretty good, considering the secular nature of his office, but it was too theologically syncretic for my tastes.
One statement, however, did catch my attention…
But no matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate. There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.
This is so true. It’s application to the not-yet-born is amazing, for what human being at every stage of his or her development is more innocent than the child in the womb? Unfortunately, I doubt the president was referring to the unborn. Three days after his inauguration, the new president overturned a ban on giving money to international groups which perform abortions and share abortion information. The ban had been signed into effect by the Bush administration.
Please pray for President Obama.
Update: Wow! Looks like I wasn’t the only one that noticed the “innocent human beings” comment. Read this.

A Prayer for Today
As I pray today, “Let me hear what God will speak, For God will speak peace to the people…To those who turn to God in their hearts.” (Psalm 85:8-13) Lord God, I am aware that there is nothing in my life beyond Your seeing eye. There is no inner conflict, fear, stress, loss, or despair beyond Your heart. There is no moment when Your arms are unwilling to take me in. God of Compassion, I ask that You would renew, rebuild and redeem every heart that has been broken by abortion. I ask You to provide one-on-one care to those struggling after involvement in an abortion. I ask You to heal any pain associated with abortion and I ask that You wrap Your arms of grace around them, until they are safely held in Your embrace. And, I pray, that you will fill my heart with the same compassion, and give me eyes to see how I can lovingly be a part of their healing. I ask this for the sake of your great love and in Jesus’ name. Amen.
