I did too. I hope the candidates sponsored by the Lord at all levels of political office races have this type of prayer and annointing.
I don’t know who the Lord is annointing, so I vote we pray for all of them! The other thing to consider is that imho when we pray for all our candidates, even the ones not sponsored by the Lord, it brings the Lord closer into their consciousness, being, and world, so that He can better work His will through them, whatever that may be. That way in the end we’ll be correct in ratifying the Lord’s work! :-D
(I vigorously tell the Lord whom I think He should be sponsoring, but then at the end of our conversation, I ask that only His will be done...and mean it!)
I have been praying for godly men and women to rise up from among us to become our leaders and turn our country away from its current path. You don’t have to be a Santorum or Gingrich or even a GOP member to want to see this.
If God had chosen Palin or Perry or Bachman or Cain as His chosen for this time, I would be happy with that too, I believe all of them, to some extent, are Christians with a heart for God’s word and purpose.
As much as some of us derided Bush, I have no doubt about the man’s faith and I have no doubt that prayer was a key factor in winning the Iraq War. I want someone of faith in the White House but I also want more of those people in the House, the Senate, the state houses and the city councils.
No, I’m not looking for a theocracy. I’m looking for humble servants of both God and man that will seek His wisdom and direction so that we may better know His blessings.
