You’re right, and that’s hard to do, but it is a commandment of the Lord. Remember who Paul said the people of his day should pray FOR...Nero.
Let’s also pray, just as hard, that the Lord delivers us from evil, because that is what is “ruling” us now...and I do mean ruling, and I do mean evil.
I do pray he comes to his senses and repents, but I also continually pray, “deliver us from evil...”
It is hard to do but I have been praying for him for a long time. He makes it harder every day.
