    I will pray for Obama. He is my president. I will pray that God would use Him to fulfill His purposes in the world for His glory.

    I believe God placed President Obama in power for a reason and I rejoice in the sovereign wisdom of God.
    This does not mean I need to like the man or his policies- but will pray for him and respect him as a God-placed civil authority.

    Breathren. I think this is the best response to those who say we ought to pray for the Presidents failure:

    Now is NOT the time for us to focus once again on party rhetoric. Now is the time for us to come together as Americans to turn the tide for our country.

    I will not pray that President Obama succeeds or that he will fail. I pray that God's will be done.

    Here's an excellent prayer from Al Mohler that he put on his blog today:

    After this manner therefore, pray ye . . . Deliver us from evil.

    That is a prayer that wicked devices fail.

    That's what I pray. If God must deliver us by bring justice upon Obama for his anti-God policies (which will only result in the further weakening, if not the absolute fall, of this nation) then so be it.

    If God deliever us by giving Obama an epiphany and making him the exact opposite of what he is, then so be it.

    Either way, Deliver us from evil. Let wicked rulers fail in their attempts to abate our liberties and steal the rewards of our honest labor. Not only let them fail, but trample upon them, O Lord.

    Well. Someone is starting to make sense here. I wonder how many Germans (and Jews) prayed that Hitler would be successful.
    There is a big difference between success and doing what is right. One person's success could be another's failure. A socialistic form of goverment may be considered a success to some of you, but not to me. get it?

    ==That is a very insulting statement. To in anyway compare the President of the United States to one of histories most wicked and evil murderers is beyond the bounds of acceptability.





    May God Bless the United States and bring her to repentance.

    How much praying did Jesus do for Herod before, and after, calling him a [offensive word edited]-fox?

    Pastor Warren did indeed capture the heart of HOW we ought to be praying for our President and our country... acknowledging the Lord's supremacy in all things and asking for His leadership, protection, and wisdom as we move forward.

    My thanks to Pastor Warren for accepting such a difficult task and using it to honor the Lord Jesus.

    You folks just dont seem to be getting it. We look at Hitler in retrospect. In 1939 even Neville Chamberlain though he was a square guy. Probably prayed for his success. Read very carefully the platform that Obama ran on and tell me if you still want him to be successful.
