Rick Warren's Inauguration Prayer is Something Obama Should Listen to Again

Pastor Rick Warren structured his inauguration prayer around six principles to overcome our current national crisis. This crises is not only economic, but moral and spiritual. I'm fairly certain Pastor wouldn't want his prayer applied this way, but I've been wondering about this for days, and couldn't contain myself any longer. Just how much is this administration applying these principles?

Pastor Warren said step one is to reconnect with God: "Almighty God, our Father, everything we see and everything we can't see, exists because of you alone. It all comes from you it all belongs to you, it all exists for your glory. History is your story! The Scripture tells us, 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God and the Lord is one'. Scripture also says "You are the compassionate and the merciful one, loving toward everyone you have made". God has a purpose for us, individually and as a nation. We turn our back on him and make decisions without Him, and trouble will follow. For the most part, the people Obama has surrounded himself with, especially the 'czars' are atheists. Obama has not selected a church. If there isn't one in DC as radical and racist as the one he apparently enjoyed in Chicago, he should be transparent and honest and say so.

Second step addressed by Warren in his prayer: "Today we rejoice not only in America's peaceful transfer of power for the 44th time. We celebrate a hinge point of history with the inauguration of our first African American president of the United States. We are so grateful to live in this land of unequaled possibility, where the son of an African immigrant can rise to our highest level of leadership. We know today that Dr. King, and a great cloud of witnesses, are shouting in heaven." This is indeed something momentous. The celebration has ended. I have to wonder if Dr. King would be happy, when now that anyone opposes the ideas of Obama, they are called racist and other vile things?

Third: "Give to our new president, Barack Obama, the wisdom to lead us with humility, the courage to lead us with integrity, the compassion to lead us with generosity. Bless and protect him, his family, Vice President Biden, the cabinet, and every one of our freely elected leader...We commit our new president and his wife, Michelle, and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, into your loving care." Obama said he will pass his legislation even if a majority of citizens don't want it. He knows what best for us. Humility? Is it compassionate to run up a debt that in four years will exceed three quarters of the value of this nation; that will have our children, and children's children being born into debt because of our excesses?

Forth: "When we focus on ourselves, when we fight with each other, when we forget you, forgive us. When we presume that our greatness and our prosperity are ours alone, forgive us. When we fail to treat our fellow human beings, and all the earth, with the respect that they deserve, forgive us."

Fifth: This has to do with respect. "Help us to share, to serve, and to seek the common good of all...As we face the difficult days ahead, may we have a new birth of clarity in our aims, responsibility in our actions, humility in our approaches, and civility in our attitudes, even when we differ. Help us, O God, to remember that we are Americans-united not by race or religion or blood, but by our commitment to freedom and justice for all. May all people of goodwill today join together, to work for a more just, a more healthy, and a more prosperous nation, and a peaceful planet." Is passing thousands of unintelligible pages of unread legislation providing clarity? Is running up trillions of dollars of debt and adding new programs that will cost even more being responsible? Is telling more than half the population opposing him, that he will pass his legislation no matter what, showing humility? Is calling, and allowing his supporters to call the people that oppose him, nazis, fascists, mob, unruly, uninformed, liars and racists, showing civility?

Sixth: "May we never forget that one day all nations, and all people, will stand accountable before you. I humbly ask this in the name of the of the one who changed my life: Yeshua [Hebrew for Jesus], Isa [Arabic for Jesus], Jesus [Spanish], Jesus.
Atheists, Secularists, Statists, will of course reject this last. They are allowed to because the principles they are using when they do so are Judaic-Christian principles. Not truly related to this, they also enjoy weekends off. They enjoy the paid holiday of Christmas off because of this. All the freedoms they enjoy are because of Judaic-Christian principals.
