The President of the United States looks to counsel from those around him. As you pray for the Cabinet of the President, focus your prayer on PHI 4:4-9: That our leaders fix their thoughts on what is true, honorable and right; on what is pure, lovely and admirable; on what is excellent and worthy of praise. Consider the words of Thomas 'a Kempis who remarks in the Christian classic, The Imitation Of Christ, "He who neither cares to please men nor fears to displease them will enjoy great peace." I would add that those who receive this kind of counsel will be better prepared for any eventuality.
