    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confides to MSNBC chatterers Mika and Joe:

    Pelosi praying for Trump

    "We have to be very prayerful. I pray for the President all the time....I also pray that God will illuminate him, to see right from wrong."

    From "Fiddler on the Roof"

    "Is there a proper blessing for the Czar?"

    "May God bless and keep the Czar
    (insert 'President') ... far away from us!'

    Oh, Nancy, saying you are proud of Schiff, though unsurprising, speaks volumes of your own deeply devilish mendacity.

    I've no doubt she knows right from wrong, but consistently chooses the latter. Classic Dem Machiavellianism.

    If one listens only to her and not to the facts, the rhetoric sounds plausible enough to make a classic Eve move.

    Without explanation the chorus of an old ELO song which essentially repeats its title keeps coming to mind whenever Pelosi is in range.

    Can I ask a serious question? How does one pray for President Trump? I pray for him often but I get hung up in mid-prayer because I'm uncertain what to say besides, "give him wisdom to know how to lead this nation in the paths of righteousness", or "please protect the health of President Trump so he can continue to appoint pro-life judges" or the ultimate fall back prayer--"thy will be done." Anything more specific than that and I get all tangled up.

    Take this impeachment mess. I don't want to see President Trump get impeached. It would rip our nation apart and cause divisions among Christians, which I assume God would not want. Should I pray, "please Lord, prevent President Trump from being impeached? And certainly please don't let him be removed from office." But how do I know what God's will is in this matter? Maybe God wants Mike Pence to be President?

    So, how do you pray for President Trump? Be specific.

    You don't know what is God's will. It is correct to always try to pray for God's will but in order to do that you would have to be convinced that Trump is God's will. God has placed many leaders who were God fearing and not God fearing into leadership for His purposes. So Trump's past, at this point, is not relevant as he is the current President. As such pray that God would use Trump for His purposes. "They will be done" I do not believe is specific enough in that area.

    Trump has proclaimed the gospel from the Rose Garden on two occasions that I know of. That alone is a reason to keep him in office. It is also a reason to pray that he remain there. Trump, as you have pointed out has appointed pro-life judges. That is yet another reason to appeal to God to keep him in place. There are plenty more reasons but you will have to compile your own list. Make it specific and make sure it is biblical.

    Pray for Trump to overcome his flaws as he continues in office. List them, as you see them, specifically. While you are praying for someone else flaws be careful to consider your own. This learning to pray for Trump can become quite a time of growth for you.

    Finally, pray that the plan behind the scenes, to sneakily, remove Trump, be exposed to everyone.

    be honest...

    Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

    In line with HD's "be honest," would it be out of line to simply pray your uncertainty and also ask for wisdom in discerning God's will in all of this? I would say it is entirely appropriate to continue in that vein. I don’t always go to God knowing, especially specifics. As more than one has observed, prayer doesn't change God, but can serve to change me.

    One might also focus more on the nation, its reasons for existing. For example, this country has been a broad base for Gospel ministry throughout the world.

    The Lord loves to use imperfect people. The man after God's Own Heart was an adulterer and a murderer. The man who wrote much of the New Testament was also a murderer and a murderer of Christians. Then there were prostitutes who also were part of Will of God. Donald Trump? He may not be bad enough to qualify to be part of that list nor may he have done enough to make that list either, but it is clear that he may be one of the imperfect persons who God has used at such a time as this to carry out His Will.

    We all know and understand that our God chooses whomsoever He pleases to do His will on earth - Nebuchadnezzar for example.

    Where would we be right now and what would be the State of the Nation if Hillary Clinton occupied the White House once again (with Bill as the First Gentleman).

    We need to pray. Trump either slipped or has gone down for the count.

    This is what the progressive globalists want.

    Actually what the globalists kangaroo court have done with the fictionalized transcript and the hearsay whistleblower document is blatantly criminal.

    If the RNC and Barr do nothing then that means they are "in cahoots" to topple the president (it can happen).

    Et tu, Brute?
