Guest pastor at National Prayer Breakfast urges Biden and his team to ‘pray for wisdom, humble themselves before God’

A New York megachurch pastor who attended the National Prayer Breakfast urged Biden and the other politicians to humble themselves before God and ask for his wisdom when making important decisions.

Jim Cymbala, pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, was one of the invited speakers at the event held on Capitol Hill, in Washington DC. He took the opportunity to speak about God’s mercy and how humanity needs it every day.

“You need mercy and you need grace,” he said, adding “we need daily mercy.”

“…everyone who humbles themself and comes to God and says, ‘God help me,’ God has given in His Word ‘I will never, ever turn you away.’” he added.

Cymbala’s message was dedicated to the political officials gathered that day, showing them that they need to ask God for wisdom because they “make decisions every day that have the most immense effect on other people’s lives.”

“The Bible says this: ‘If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives liberally and will never turn anyone away. If anyone needed to pray for wisdom, isn’t it you folks every single day?,” Cymbala said, quoting from James 1:5.

“But let him ask in faith. You have to humble yourself, because if you think you have all the wisdom you need, you’ll never know God’s wisdom. He’ll let you go on your own,” he continued.

He also declared that “we need to see prayer instituted back in America in a new way,” calling for “sincere prayer, heart prayer” and receiving applause in response.

“At that time people began to call on the name of the Lord,” talking about Genesis 4… “This was more important than the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, the splitting of the atom. Some instinct hit them. ‘We’re not alone. We can talk to the One Who put us here.’ And that changed everything,” he said.

“So, the first people that belonged to God were not Jews, Hebrews, they were not Christians. There were no priests, there were not preachers, there were no buildings, there was nothing. But God had a people and they were known for just one thing: they looked to God and called upon Him,” he added.

For his part, Biden in his speech affirmed that the diversity of religions as well as the inclusion of heterosexuals, gays and others is part of God’s infinite creativity, contradicting and offending the image of the Creator with this own spiritual ignorance.
