S o m e w e e k s ago a Christian friend was expressing concern to me over a decision of the United States Supreme Court relating to religious freedom of citizens. I have heard the suggestion that the weekly Monday morning sessions of the Court, nine months in the year, were beginning to take on some of the appearance of a weekly Constitutional convention. Our discussion was animated but friendly and I asked him if he, as a Christian, made it a practice to pray for those who rule over us. In I Timo thy 2:1-4, we are exhorted that prayer should be made for all who are in authority over us. Officials of govern ment bear the heavy burdens of re sponsibility. My friend responded that occa sionally he had prayed for the Presi dent and Governor and Congress. I then asked if he had ever prayed for guidance from God for the Supreme Court. He confessed that he had never asked for Divine direction for the Court. At appropriate opportunities since I have asked other Christians privately if they had prayed for Di vine help for the Justices in their weighty deliberations. I found great neglect everywhere. In the weeks and months ahead, the nine Justices have many difficult controversies scheduled for decision. Several of these will preserve or limit our religious rights or liberties as American citizens. How earnestly every Christian citi zen should give thanks that we have the protection of a Court and the Constitution and ask God to guide these men as they set forth their in terpretations of our American con stitutional liberties. Appointed for life, never required to come to the people for election, the Justices are set apart with supreme power. But they are human and they need divine direction. We should not neglect to pray for these men who exercise so great a power over us. I Samuel 2:23 tells that there are times when ceasing to pray is a sin.
