The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination. – Ronald Reagan

Oh God, please restore this kind of wisdom to those who occupy the White House. You established this country, you have offered your grace throughout its history, or we wouldn’t have survived this long. We know your love for the individuals in this country and every nation, and you are no respecter of persons. We know you look upon the hearts of mankind, and I pray more hearts would turn fully to you. All true wisdom comes from you, Father. We are desperate for you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
