Pray for the USA!

It was an interesting article about some presidential supporters tweeting what they would do if Mitt Romney wins the election.
One tweeted about starting a riot – “I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power”
Another said something about moving to New Zealand – “Told my New Zealand friend that if Romney is elected I am moving to her country. She said ‘Deal. We don’t need politics we have ferns.’”
A few others may grab the attention of the Secret Service since they mentioned shooting him.

Allow me to make a judgment – these are not Christ-like individuals!
I am not a President Obama supporter but if he wins again I will not start any riots, move to another country, or make any threats against him.
The God-honoring thing to do is pray for the President, no matter who he/she is!
This is what the Bible says; Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. Rom 13:1

Fear God, and respect the king. 1 Peter 2:17

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 1 Tim 2:1-2

If you want to see a real change in the nation then pray for the leaders.

One thought on “Pray for the USA!

  1. I think it strange that even saints refuse the Word when it doesn’t fit their desires. I too am unhappy with our president, but I believe the Word of God. And because I know what awaits on the other side of physical death I pray for those who don’t know the One & Only Savior, Jesus the Christ. Knowing Christ is willing & able to change a person into a new creature (even as He did me) I’d like to see our president & family come into the family of God. Let’s not forget God said our enemy is not flesh & blood, rather principalities in high places. God have mercy on us all.
