Dave Heineman - Nebraska

Dave Heinman took over the reins of the state of Nebraska when his boss got a "promotion" to work in the administration of George W. Bush. And now he has taken his experience in the army and a decade of public service to serve his fellow Nebraskans in the geographic center of America.

"Governor Heineman’s vision for Nebraska is based on four priorities: education, economic vitality, efficiency in government, and protecting families."

"The Governor is a native Nebraskan. He was born in Falls City and grew up in Fairbury, McCook, Benkelman and Wahoo, where he graduated from high school. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1970 and served five years in the U.S. Army, rising to the rank of captain. He is also a graduate of the Army's Airborne and Ranger Schools."

This evening, I raise this prayer for the governor:

Heavenly Father, Creator and Sustainer of this great land, we pray that your grace will shine upon this state at the center of us all. Be with its governor as he seeks to meet his admirable goals for the betterment of the citizens of his state, be they children, working adults or governing bodies.

Bless his marriage. Keep the relationship strong between him and his wife. Be with his son as he studies in college, guiding him to the career you have for him.

Strengthen his faith, and be with the leaders to whom he is accountable in his church family. Keep him safe from the temptations that come with authority.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
