Patricia Rucker (R)

Father, I lift up Senator Patricia Rucker to You. According to Ephesians 1:17-19 I pray... That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto Senator Patricia Rucker the Spirit of Wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of her understanding being enlightened; that she may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, I also pray According to Ephesians 3:14-21 ... For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in Heaven and Earth is named, That He would grant Senator Patricia Rucker according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in her heart by faith; that she, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that they might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Lord God, we lift Senator Patricia Rucker to You. We pray that she would not operate in fear of man nor fear of the schemes of man, but would fear You, Lord. Your Word says, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His instructions have good insight. . ." Ps 111:10 This is true for any person and as it pertains to those in government positions, it is especially important. We need leaders who operate in holy reverence and fear of You, Lord--the ultimate and final authority, ruler and judge, because this is where true wisdom & insight are birthed. We need leaders who operate in accordance with God-given wisdom and eternal, never-changing truth for in this are blessings and not curses brought upon a land. Move and work in Senator Rucker's heart and life, Lord, to make her just such a leader, that her legacy would be one that honors You and one that is noted for being a true help to those she serves. Guide and guard her in this quest, Lord. In the authority and power of the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen
