Do you think judges and politicians should pray??

[Lynn D. Walker]

Justice Antonin Scalia said prayers in a legislative setting were different from ones in court ........ “People who have religious beliefs,” he said, “ought to be able to invoke the deity when they are acting as citizens and not as judges.” I don't think this is what our forefathers had in mind when they talked about separation between church and state. My Bible says that believers should pray about ALL things and without ceasing, and God certainly does not put any limitations on that in regards to a persons job, but the wisdom of this judge says that it is ok to call on and appeal to God as a citizen but NOT as a judge??  Seems to me that "invoking" God for guidance and Godly wisdom would be a wonderful asset for a judge.   With thinking like this in our judicial system, do you think we might need  to pray for all of our judges to receive Godly wisdom and guidance, and also our legislative and executive branches as well?  Maybe we should also pray about voting some of them OUT of office as well.  Lord, help us.  ~Pastor Lynn
