In America, we don't worship government... WE WORSHIP GOD. Trump 2024.

"Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?" -Jeremiah 7:16

Has anyone stopped to consider that our godless courts removed prayer from public school classrooms in 1962? And the Word of God in 1963? Yet, we foolishly expect God to honor a National Day of Prayer? It doesn't work that way folks.

The following is an excellent quote from the great man of God, J. Vernon McGee...

I believe there are times when we do not need to pray for folk to be blessed. I visited a member of my church in the hospital and prayed for him, then a man in the other bed asked me to pray for him. I asked him whether he was a Christian, and he said he believed in God. I told him that didn’t make him a Christian, and then I explained the gospel to him and asked him to put his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said he could not accept that, but he wanted me to pray for him. I told him, “Brother, I will pray for you, but not the way you want me to pray for you. You want me to pray that you will get well and that God will bless you. I am going to pray that you will be saved—that is the only prayer I can pray for you.” I believe we do too much praying for people to be blessed of God when we ought to be praying that those people will be saved.
