Lt. Governor Cagle

Georgia Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle announced today he was dropping out of the race for Governor due to a degenerative spinal condition.  Although the condition can be corrected with surgery, the Lt. Governor decided it would be too challenging to run for Governor and continue that process.  The Lt. Governor was the decided frontrunner in the race prior to his announcement this afternoon.

Here are some prayer requests for the Lt. Governor during this time:
  • Pray for his physical healing, and that the surgery would completely correct his condition.
  • Pray for his wife and children as they watch their husband and father go through a difficult recovery process.
  • Pray for his staff as they must now transition roles with the change in the Lt. Governor's goals.
  • Pray for wisdom for his advisers as they determine what needs to be done to wind down the gubernatorial campaign.
  • Pray for the candidates that may consider getting into the race now, that they would be wise and make the right decision.
The Lt. Governor is facing an incredibly challenging time following what must have been a nearly impossible position as the frontrunner.  Let's continue to hold up our government leaders in their times of need.
