Regardless of our political positions or spiritual traditions, we agree that our government leaders are not perfect.  We know this with great confidence, not because of what we have read in the press, but because the Scriptures say that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."  Our leaders, just like us, are imperfect men and women in need of Divine guidance. As a result of their power and position, our leaders need even more concerted and effective prayer. There is a constant temptation for leaders in government to amass power and replace reliance upon God with the reliance upon our State.  This creates an environment that erodes the religious freedoms afforded to us by Nature's God, who creates all with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
