Godly Politics

A midst all the news surrounding the new Prentice Government and the new fall session on the federal level, the idea of politics has become increasingly interesting to me.  I've always dreamed of choosing a career that involves making a difference.  Now, I'm starting to consider a career in politics.  Of course, I would have to have another profession before entering politics, but the idea of becoming a politician is starting to appeal to me.

As some of you may know, I have always been extremely interested in politics.  But the one problem I've always had is that none of our politicians admit to being a Christian, or act in a Godly way.  Misusing taxpayer money and the power given to you by CITIZENS isn't a good way to run government.  I could go on and on about how messed up our political system has gotten, but that's beyond the point of this blog post.

Here's the thing: youth my age are always dreaming and talking about their future careers.  Many don't even consider politics, as it's one of those things that require a lot of analyzing a lot of complicated situations.  It's also a job that requires another job, like a lawyer or social worker.  I'm willing to take the long career path, because being a Godly politician is important to me.

I may only be in grade 10, but it's never too early to start dreaming and planning your future.  Knowing where I want to be as an adult will definitely help me prepare for a life that fulfills God's plan for me, what I want to do for a job, and how I can reach other people in the community.  Please pray for me.  I'm really passionate about making a change.  Pray for God's guidance in this whole decision.

Also, pray for our leaders.  Everyday.  They need all the wisdom and guidance from God that they can get.  Although most of them don't have a personal relationship with Him, pray that they will one day get to know him.  Pray for our country's leaders and the international leaders.  Pray for the crisis' in Russia/Ukraine, the middle East, and especially for the terrorist group ISIS.

Pray for world peace.
