From a minister's wife:
We were in slow-moving traffic the other day and the car in front of us had an Obama bumper sticker on it, and it read: "Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8."
My husband's Bible was lying on the dash board. He got it, opened it up to the scripture, and read it. He started laughing hysterically. Then he read it to me. I couldn't believe what it said. I had a good laugh, too. Psalm 109:8 - "Let his years be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him.."
At last - I can voice a Biblical prayer for our president! Let us all bow our heads and pray. Pick your version.
