Governor Schwarzenegger's Inaugural Address

As this is the Governor's Prayer Team, I feel it is important that we work to understand God's heart for our leaders and pray accordingly.

As I listened to our Governor's Speech I felt impressed that we must sincerely pray that God brings the unity in this state the Lord is desiring to bring and has put on our Governor's heart from the very beginning. At the Governor's Prayer Breakfast last May, the Governor was again addressing the division in our state, but at the breakfast he referred to the divisions in the church, as he called us to unity.

I felt an incredible anointing on our Governor as he spoke. I know he is God's appointed leader for our state and I cannot encourage you enough to pray for this man and his family on a daily basis.

Pray for him to have wisdom from God, pray for him to be protected from ungodly counsel and surrounded by people who have God's vision of life, healing and restoration for our state. Pray that God will give him "divine ideas" to lead this state into its destiny.

Pray for God's kingdom to come and God's will to be done on earth in California and its leaders as it is in heaven. Bless our Governor to be all God has ordained him to be. Bless his marriage, family, health, leadership, counselors etc. etc. etc. Pray the life the Lord intends him to have of blessing and grace in his leadership position and life.

In the inaugural address that I've copied below, there are many encouraging things our Governor referred to.

God bless you as you pray for him!

Sincerely,
