PRAY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP JUNE 2 (and, Every day!)

Submitted by: W.G.E.N.

I lift up Pres. Trump, his family, and his Cabinet members in prayer twice a day and sometimes if something big is going on I lift him up during the day.  I pray for the Lord to grant him Wisdom and also to give him a hunger and thirst for Christ and to invite Jesus Christ into his heart and become Born Again.  Scripture instructs us to pray for our leaders - not only for those we like.  Perhaps we need to pray more for those we dislike (grin). I also pray at least twice daily for this nation to turn back to God the Creator - to turn our backs on Satan and his EVILNESS.  We really are living as in The Days of Noah - and most all are aware of what happened to those folks when the rain began.  Only Believers were on the Ark, the rest were left to drown.  As we read and some take part in the debauchery and other sinful life styles and actions we are violating all the Commandments of God.  It is that refusal to obey that will ensure the disobedient have those eternal reservations in The Lake of Fire -  Drowning in a Lake of Fire does not sound like a fun vacation...  especially for ETERNITY.


So, I urge all to take part in the National Prayer for Pres. Trump tomorrow - better yet, make it a daily habit as I do.

Tony Perkins: Join Rev. Franklin Graham in Call to Pray for Trump, Nation on June 2nd

Franklin Graham may not agree with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on much, but apparently, they have one thing in common: they both pray for Donald Trump. At a press gaggle last week, the House leader surprised everyone by saying, "I pray for the president of the United States." Of course, what she prays is another story, but that she prays means her party has no excuses. This Sunday's invitation is for everyone -- no matter which side they're on -- to join hands and pray for America.

On June 2, Franklin and 250 Christian leaders are calling on people to set aside time in earnest prayer for President Trump. When I talked to him on Tuesday's "Washington Watch" about what prompted the idea, he says he felt an urgency in his heart. The attacks on the president are intensifying, he explained, to a level we've never seen before. "The politics that we have today, it's so vicious. It wasn't like this when I was growing up. Republicans and Democrats disagreed, but they'd go out and have dinner at night together. But that's not the case anymore, Tony. It's almost like we're in some kind of war, and it's about winning. It's not about what's best for the country."

There's a hatred for Donald Trump, Franklin went on, "that I've never seen before. It's one thing to have a president that we disagree with and you may not vote for -- but to have the all-out hatred ... [It] distracts the president, and it weakens our country ... We need to get on with the business of solving the problems in our country -- and this isn't solving them." It's dangerous, Franklin insisted. "And if we don't pray, I'm afraid for the president, and I'm afraid for the presidency."

Just because some Americans didn't vote for Trump doesn't mean they don't have a stake in his presidency. "He was elected, and we should get behind him. And if he does well, then we all benefit, don't we? Republicans and Democrats, independents -- we all benefit from this. If he makes a bad decision, then we're all gonna pay for it. So we need to be praying that God will use him to make good decisions." A lot of us disagreed with the policies of the previous president, but we still prayed for him. Like a lot of believers, I spent eight years asking God to change Barack Obama's heart and give him wisdom. Why? Because I trust that He can work through everyone. Even if some of these leaders don't seek God themselves, they're still influenced by people praying for them.

At its core, America's problem isn't political -- it's spiritual. "God is the only one who can fix the issues in our country," Franklin agreed. But the responsibility, he reminded listeners, falls on us. "If we Christians don't pray, then we're at fault if something were to destroy our country." And if America is sidelined or distracted from its ability to influence the world, everyone suffers. One look at today's headlines will tell you that this is no time for our leaders to take their eye off the ball.

Look at Pastor Brunson in Turkey, Franklin said by explanation. "He'd still be in that prison if it hadn't been for Donald Trump." This president "wants to support and defend Christians ... And he has a desire to help the church [which] I appreciate about him. Is he a perfect person? Absolutely not. Is he the best example of the Christian faith? No way. But there's something in his heart [that God has placed there] to defend the Christian faith and religious liberty. And so, we need to try to lift him up in prayer and support them where we can."

If you and your church want to join in, visit the Billy Graham website or Franklin's Facebook page. "We know God hears the prayers of one righteous person," the son of the famous evangelist reminded us. "But if there's millions of people praying, maybe God will listen and hear those prayers -- and answer [them]."
