We pray for this beloved country, Egypt, for God to protect her safety, security, stability; to protect her unity and more so, her image.

We don't pray for the land. We pray for the humans, all humans... starting with the president, Mohammed Morsi, and all officials, and for God to give everyone wisdom and responsibility to manage the affairs of this country and its people in true Egyptian spirit.

'Do you pray for the senators, Dr. Hale?' No, I look at the senators and I pray for the country.

Prayer finds its source in God's holiness and it is at the same time our response to this holiness.

Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks.

Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men!
