Social Engineering

On the radio and TV, I heard that the economic stimulous package being considered by Congress has a lot of money for social engineering projects that appear to me to be contradictory to God's plan for His children. In addition they will neither save money or create jobs. One radio announcer asked us to call our Congress persons to protest. The bible, however, says we do not war against flesh and blood but powers and principalities.

Heavenly Father, we ask you to change the hearts of those in Congress who would develop programs and use tax money raised from Your children for pursposes contradictory to Your Word or that are otherwise wasteful. Make those who represent us in Congress faithful stewards of their responsibilities. Give them wisdom to know Your merciful will for this "one nation under God." Thwart agendas in Congress that are contrary to Your will.

In Your Son Jesus' name

your humble servant, Steve
