Is Anybody Praying for President Barack Obama?

Every six months or so, I hear something that troubles me deeply and I decide to write about it. I will warn you in advance, this is my rant...

It is amazing to me how much anger and hatred has been directed toward President Obama, since his rise to office. I can not determine if is it because of the lies and rhetoric that has been on Fox cable news, or if the racism of the past has never gone away.

I am not partial to information as I watch both Fox, MSNBC and CNN; because I want the truth. Not just the slant of my party. I watch all the news stations and then weigh what I hear. The problem with some is we do not want the truth, but rather we want to believe what feeds our anger and frustration.

I fear for this country, not because of the possibility of outside forces such as terrorist, but I am afraid because of the war that is among us. We fight, attack and devour one another. Is anybody praying for President Obama?

I have never heard such hatred and such disrespect one American to another. I do not recognize her. Will it take another terrorist attack to shake us from our anger and distrust of each other and cause us to love and respect each other once again?

Remember the Days after 911, every man was you brother and there was nothing we would not do to help at the site of the Twin Towers. Men and woman risked their lives and health to look for survivors and remains of the dead. Now we are killing each other and picking each other apart.

The GOP, wants to take America back to the foundation of our forefathers. Do you realize how corrupt and ungodly our forefathers were?

They too lied, slandered their fellow Senators and Congressmen, physically fought and did what ever it took to win politically. Is that what we want to return to? They were just like we are now!

There is a movement of hatred for homosexuals, Muslims, Latinos and anyone who is different than ourselves. Is this the moral right that we claim to be? Does this behavior represent the God that we serve? God is love; God hates the sin but loves sinners.

Can hatred turn a homosexual to a heterosexual? Can hatred cause a Muslim to love America? They shall knew we are his sheep if we have love one to another.

Are you not listening, are your not watching? Things are not getting better, because we have blocked ever bill that would make things better.

Do you realize that we are the ones who want to back people who want to continue to send our jobs overseas? Do you realize they don't care anything about us? The Democrats promised change and change has not come and like impatient children we throw ourselves on the ground and hold our breath. Who told you any party is in charge of you destiny?

They live in expensive houses, with the money that they receive from big business. Their children have access to the best of education and the best connections when they graduate. Yet when it comes to our children, they want to cut spending in education and financial aid.

Can you afford to send your children to Harvard? They can! Do you have 80,000 put aside for each child your want to send to school? They do! Yet, how are our children going to be educated?

It is not about what party is right or wrong; because it is about greed, money and power. This is what God meant, when he said the love of money is the root of all evil.

Both sides want power and dominion over one another. We have to ask God, to reveal the truth to us and not be lambs to the slaughter. We are all being deceived and pit one against another. Are we not American all!

Both sides are greedy. They manipulate us, so that they can fulfill their agenda and when they are filled, we will be left empty, once again. When will we learn, they are playing us. All of us! 

No matter, which party wins, they will all be OK.  They will drive off in their fancy cars, go their million dollar homes and jet set with the rich and famous and watch their salaries and pensions grow, while we like foolish children tear one another apart.

The Congress and the Senate receive a double pension when they retire, yet they want to play with our Social Security. When their experiment does not work, what will happen to us? Do you really want them to privatize Social Security?

We want to do away with social entitlements. When there is nothing in place to help the poor, what to you think will happen. There will be a return to total lawlessness. Desperate people have nothing to lose, and should the poor of this county have nothing to feed their families. We will all suffer for our cold hardheartedness.

Do you remember the depression? Government intervention is the only thing preventing a rise of Dillians, Baby Face Nelsons and Bonnie and Clydes once again.  They were birthed out of great poverty and destitution.

Pray not for Republican nor Democratic rule, but pray that God’s will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. When God's will is done, then everyone will win. Pray for peace not on earth, but in America among Americans, black white, Hispanic Christian, Muslims, Buddhists and the like.

I have been Republican since I came to the Lord over thirty years ago, but I have never seen such as this. I have never seen this disrespect of a president. I have never heard a president called a jackass of nation television.

I have never heard someone pray for a president to die, or that a president to fail. America, I do not recognize you! When did we make a decision to be the voice of darkness? When did we decide that hatred is stronger then love? When did we lose our way?

When will begin to act like God loving Americans and pray for this nation and pray for President Obama? Pray that God will direct Obama’s steps.

Pray that Obama will hear and obey God’s will. Pray that God will be done! Prayer, not hated will change things in America. When we pray America will prosper again! Is anybody praying for Obama?

2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

While praying is important and a powerful force for change, do not forget to take action as well to demand that our politicians serve the people and not themselves. to remove greed and dishonesty from the political process.
