1 Timothy 2:2. Pray for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness
.
We pray for our president and his administration not because we like them or agree with them, but because God commands us to pray for the one in office.. Obedience is that sacrifice we make but it pays great dividends.
Wow. That truth just blind-sided me. I failed God, Obama, our country and myself by not obeying this command. There were many of us Christians and only one of him. Our prayers could have made a very great difference. Obedience to God's Word could have spared us all a lot of distress.

We think it is all up to the Man in the Oval Office to make us healthy, wealthy and wise. It's not. It's up to God, our obedience to pray and him. Scripture says that God literally changes the heart of kings. Do you suppose He could change the personal and collective hearts of His Body, The Body of Christ?
God help me to trust You and be obedient, even when my mind and will call me off into another place.
