Comments on: Be A Leader, Not A Rebel http://www.balancedlifeministry.org/2010/09/be-a-leader-not-a-rebel-3851 Home of the "Special Delivery" Book by James A.

I incline to be emotional and get angry; especially at the current administration. I allow myself to fall into Satan's trap of hateful thoughts and, therefore, I fall into disobedience to God. I have prayed for President Obama in "fits & spurts" but have not done so on a daily basis. I will challenge myself to do so and will begin praying for him & his administration (yes - even his czars!) each and every day. Thank you for the reminder, the challenge, the rebuke, the accountability and the 'bringing me back to God' moment I have experienced by reading this today. I will strive to encourage others to do as I am doing. I will remember that every criticism I have of our leaders should never be a hateful tirade; and should always include a heartfelt prayer for them. Thanks again & God bless!
