AMEN. I hope it happens exactly like that!

I am also a lifelong Republican. One of my earliest memories was sitting in a booth at the Los Angeles County Fair in 1956, when my mother was working for Ike's re-election. But no more. At the Presidential level, GOP candidates are always better than their Democratic opponents, but that's damning with faint praise!

I'm with Kinky Friedman, the eccentric Jewish cowboy who ran for Governor of Texas as an Independent. He refers to the two major parties as "the Crips and the Bloods."

As for praying for Obama:

I will, like others have said, pray for him to be saved, and pray for him to change his thinking on the issues. But I won't limit my prayers to that. I'll pray for him the way I prayed for Clinton and Bush (who I greatly dislike) and the Supreme Court justices and Congressional leaders: that God will grant him safety and good health, bless his family, prosper him in an honest way, and make him a good husband, father, and man. I'll pray for God to bless him - - - although I no longer say "God bless America." We're past that point, and the Bible doesn't instruct me to pray for that.

When we limit our prayers to "God, please straighten this chucklehead out," we're not really praying for him; we're criticizing him to God. I don't think that's the kind of prayers God wants. Such prayers are a little too close to Luke 18:11 for my tastes.

Right, but praying that he comes to truly believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and represent American in a God glorifying way is not criticizing him, it's blessing him!

Peace and Love,

I heard that during the Clinton administration, there was an increase in prayer...for the Lord to return!

Then if Obama wins, it may become a question of who's the better evangelist? Obama or Clinton? (I already listened to that part, Here Am I)

I would pray also for him to be led by the wisdom of God (even if he does not know God is the source.) For me, I would still pray for God's blessings on our Nation, for all of the flaws the Nation has, we still have the largest number of Christians and remain the largest sender and supporter of missionaries.

That is true, by the grace of God, but I don't believe that the presence of a remnant will hold off God's judgment much longer. The Biblical pattern is that God removes the remnant, then unleashes His wrath. That's where the Rapture comes in.

But I will not ask God to bless a nation that has deliberately and intentionally rejected Him as America has. Don't do it, Lord!
