I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— ² for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Timothy 2: 1-2

If you’ve ever ridden in the car with someone, as a passenger, you know how helpless you can feel. Basically you are at their mercy. So, as a passenger, you always want to encourage them and be their lookout for other drivers. I recall when the kids were young and all sitting in the van, they would occasionally get in fights and yell. Oh my goodness, it was so stressful trying to concentrate on driving safely.

Following the presidential election, it was quite clear who was happy and who was not when the votes were counted. From day one, protesters have been a loud voice in complete opposition of our president. Even today, almost a year later, protest continue and people are outraged…saying all kinds of things about the president…some true, some not so true. Others are trying their best to push him out of office. Whew, I would not want to be in his seat!

As a United States citizen, we must accept the fact that Donald Trump is President of the United States. Although you might not agree with him, he is in the driver’s seat of America. The last thing he needs is a lot of stressful political pressure to step down, noisy people trying to ruin his reputation….which just makes the entire country look bad. As Christians, we need to pray for our president, that God will provide him wisdom to make sound decisions for our country, now and for future generations. Its biblical, its truth and if you are doing anything other than God’s word, you are against God….plain and simple. No one is perfect, we all need Godly wisdom. Pray for our president as we are in trying times and he truly wants and needs our prayers! God bless!
