    I support the President (Donald J Trump). The liberals are so filled with hate as they are the work of the devil. Its a spiritual battle out there and so many christians are blinded to the battle and do not even know they are in a war. Spiritual war is alive and active right now and its getting intense. Everytime I go on FB I see attacks on the President. Everytime I turn on the TV or the radio I hear the same. We really need to keep our president in prayer as the liberals want to harm him they are so filled with hate. Pray for his protection. Satan does not want him in Office that much is clear. But God is still in control.

    I fully agree. Satan and his minions are doing all they can to keep abortion legal. Trump will give us a pro-life Supreme Court. Satan is pulling out all the tricks to stop it.

    I pray for President Trump even though I was an ardent never-Trumper. I was for Cruz in the primary and wrote in McMullen in the general.

    Having said that, Mr. Trump is our President. I pray for wisdom in decisions and I fully support his SCOTUS appt. If he can end abortion in this country then it will all have been worth it.

    I will continue to pray for him every day.

    The test is whether or not you supported President Obama in the same manner.

    So is President Trump but that was not my question.

    Did you pray for President Obama when he was your President as you suggest we pray for our current leader?

    Quote you my prayer? No.

    But yes, I do pray for President Trump. I pray that God will guide him and use him for His glory. I also pray for our nation in general and a few issues in particular.

    I also prayed for President Obama, that God would open his eyes and move his heart towards godliness.

    Although I despised the Obama administration, I believe we have never had a President except that God placed him in power. This doesn't prevent me from supporting PresidentTrump' s initiatives while not ignoring other concerns or speaking out against the Obama or Clinton agenda. But it does color the tone if my words. God is in control....even in D.C.

    What about you? Do you pray for those in authority? Do you pray for them even if they are your enemies?

    Sure he is. God is not unjust.

    But back to what I asked you - did you pray for your President when it was President Obama or are you just playing politics with your faith?

    I give you an example of praying for the President but won't confide to you my prayers to God verbatim as best I can remember and your response is "What do you have to hide"? How silly. The answer is nothing because I prayed it to God.
    God commands we do - are you suggesting our obedience should be dictated by our desires rather than by God, or are you simply confessing sin?

    Simple question - I wonder why you are so evasive. Did you pray for President Obama when he was your President?

    Already answered this. He was a judgment from God.

    That was not my question. Did you not comprehend what I was asking?

    Let's try again:

    Did you pray for President Obama when he was your President?

    The title of this thread is "Praying for the President". I am asking if you practiced this when your President was President Obama. This is a very simple question. Do you not understand?

    Even as you typed the above you know how utterly wrong you are.

    And you dare to call yourself Evangelist?

    Witnessing, yes I witness to them all the time. But they are not leaders and God does not want a Democrat in office.

    So God's sovereignty failed those eight years Obama was president. God's will was thwarted. He didn't get what he wanted.
