President Obama Speaks Of Trouble At Easter Prayer Breakfast

“President Obama welcomes faith leaders from all across the country — from churches and congregations large and small; from different denominations and different backgrounds — to the third annual Easter prayer breakfast. April 4, 2012.” The struggle to fathom that unfathomable sacrifice makes Easter all the more meaningful to all of us,” President Obama said. “We all have experiences that shake our faith. There are times where we have questions for God’s plan relative to us, but that’s precisely when we should remember Christ’s own doubts and eventually his own triumph.” “Jesus told as much in the Book of John when he said, ‘In this world, you will have trouble,” Obama said. “I heard an amen,” Obama went on. “Let me repeat, In this world, you will have trouble,” he said a second time. “But take heart!” Obama reassured them. “I have overcome the world. We are here today to celebrate that glorious overcoming, the sacrifice of a risen savior who died so that we might live. And I hope that our time together this morning will strengthen us individually, as believers and as a nation.”
