And the politician was a little worried about what might be in store for him. And he took them to a small, single room with a bed, a chair, and a table and said this was for the clergyman. Peter, after doing all the necessary formalities, took them in hand to show them where their quarters would be.
Now, I don't know why, but that bit of scheduling reminds me of a story-which I'll share with you.Īn evangelical minister and a politician arrived at Heaven's gate one day together. I think I understand how Abraham Lincoln felt when he said, "I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go."įrom the joy and the good feeling of this conference, I go to a political reception. I believe in intercessionary prayer." But I couldn't help but say to that questioner after he'd asked the question that-or at least say to them that if sometime when he was praying he got a busy signal, it was just me in there ahead of him.
The other day in the East Room of the White House at a meeting there, someone asked me whether I was aware of all the people out there who were praying for the President. And believe me, for us they've made all the difference. Nancy and I have felt their presence many times in many ways. And I would be especially remiss if I didn't discharge right now one personal debt of gratitude. Those of you in the National Association of Evangelicals are known for your spiritual and humanitarian work. I can't tell you how you have warmed my heart with your welcome. Reverend clergy all, Senator Hawkins, distinguished members of the Florida congressional delegation, and all of you:
