The bible tells us that prayers ought to be made for kings and all who are in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

I even pray for Hillary’s sake that she’d shed the mask and get right with God, leaving her evil ways (it isn’t just Donald who has things needing to be repented of). Or put it this way, if she goes to hell it shouldn’t be because we wished it, it should be solely because she wished it.
Daniel 4

18 “This is the dream that I, King Nebuchadnezzar, had. Now, Belteshazzar, tell me what it means, for none of the wise men in my kingdom can interpret it for me. But you can, because the spirit of the holy gods is in you.”
