Hmmm....I'm not entirely sure this is what Jesus had in mind for prayer. But what do I know?
If you need proof......FBI files.....the looting of Vince Foster's office after his death....pardons for sale... commodities windfall....Whitewater....
About every judge in this matter is bought and payed for by the ex scum bags in chief.
i think we are supposed to pray FOR our enemies. I think I'll for them to go away.
You'll have to do better than prayer. Her is bigger than God.
Better; that the republicans that let Berger skate get exposed..
For what other malfeance have they performed..
Well, Freeper Friend not-yet-of-Faith, I can certainly understand your plight and I'll pray for you too. :)

You're welcome to do as you wish.
The errancy of that notion one day will be exposed and I pray you only said it in sarcastic jest, not believing it. Re-read the Scriptures I posted; those aren't MY opiniong on the matter.
Here's the right type of prayer:
Dear Lord,
We come to you with our hearts disturbed and troubled by the actions of Hillary Clinton, for from our limited point of view, we see her working in ways that seem to us to be against your will, and this troubles our hearts.
Be with us Lord, and bring us your peace on this matter, so we act in accordance with your will.
We ask on the matter of Hillary Clinton that you open her eyes to what wrongs she has done, not so necessarily from our point of view, but from yours so she might repent, and be reconciled with you before she comes to that last darkness.
We ask you do bless her when she has done what you have asked, and that you lead her in your way down the paths you would have her go, for being a leader of the nation, she has a special mandate to follow your will.
We place her in your hand and in your care, so that both your justice and your mercy might be served, for all those whose lives will be touched by her actions, both the living and the unborn.
For your glory, this day and always.
In the name of Jesus we ask, Amen.
Please pray for me too,
me too, me too, Blurblogger.

"Here's the right type of prayer:"
AMEN!
Heavenly Father, God of all creation, you are the Great "I AM". We are not worthy Father of your perfect mercy, grace and justice. But in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we pray, deliver our enemies to us. We are the servants of your Son and seek only to do His will. Have mercy on us Father and fill us with your spirit. Give us the strength, of your Holy Spirit, for we are weak without you. Help us to preserve this nation blessed by you among nations.
In Jesus name I pray.
That's not bad, but it does reveal that you have judged Hillary Clinton, even though you say that you are only basing this on your limited point of view.
Better, I think, would be a prayer to guide the leaders of this country, in general, in the way they should go. Singling out an individual doesn't seem to me to be appropriate in a prayer to an omniscient deity. It seem to say that the deity doesn't know about Hillary already, and that is a denial of its omniscience.
Jesus seemed to think that prayer should be about onesself and not about retribution against those you dislike. Jesus' focus always seemed to me to be on fixing your own transgressions and asking forgiveness for the wrong things you, yourself have done.
It smacks of arrogance to me to ask your deity to intervene in a political matter against a particular individual you disagree with. I expect that your deity, should it exist at all, has very good knowledge already of Hillary Clinton, don't you? Maybe consider the beam in your own eye before going on to ask your deity to intervene against someone else.
