I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for real reform in Washington D.C. where those in office turn to You for their insight and worth, not the world.

Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell discussed his observations from working within government, which has led him to conclude the real power struggle is not partisan.

Instead, Grenell argues it is Washington, D.C. bureaucracy and the rest of the country.

“The fact of the matter is we have a real problem in Washington, D.C. because it’s a system that is no longer really Republicans and Democrats pushing against each other to create a good policy,” he said. “It’s no longer a fight between Republicans and Democrats. It is a fight between Washington and the rest of America. Let me expand on that — what we have is a system in Washington, and you know this Tucker, where people get jobs if you’re there, if you know someone and you work your way up.”

“And it’s like musical chairs from one agency to another,” Grenell continued. “There is no outside thought. There’s no outside perspective. When someone like Donald Trump comes in and says, ‘Why are we doing it this way?’ they attack him because he is breaking their system. He doesn’t play by their rules.”. . .

Since Trump won the election in 2016, people were outraged, jealous, threatened, and angry” Why” Because a Businessman is now running our country, instead of a long time Washington politician who has been in the halls of the capital for 30 to 50 years: we call these CAREER POLITICIANS . These so called leaders who have felt the threat of change for the better, do not like it. The Bible talks about God using the ” lowly people” to make His Plan. Mr Trump is God’s chosen to make the world reveal the hidden agenda, the bad, the lies and the horrid. Washington DC is corrupt, that is the reason EVERYTHING is blamed on the President, to sway from the truth that has been hidden for so long.
Father in Haven , my the truth continue to be unveiled, protect the President, its cabinet and bring forth more of the truth that needs to be out of the darkness. Amen

Father, I pray in behalf of the nation that as you said: “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.” 2 Chronicles 7:14. Yes, Father, I should start from myself to seek You and humble (myself) then pray for the nation. I pray at this time of chaos, confusion, confrontation, conflict, and coercion, to confess that the You are still in control. Though it looks as if the enemy is winning through his deceptive tactics using the different forms of lies, he has been defeated on the cross. Yes, Father I come to You praying for the church leaders, government leaders, those in the military and other leaders in the communities for wisdom and guidance. This is a spiritual warfare and we need Your guidance. Not a fight between flesh and blood. ” For though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-4. I pray for our president and other members of the cabinet Father, that they will ask for Your wisdom and instructions. I also pray for their protection. Lead them Father. And for us, as members of the body of Christ, that we will be in our knees to seek You and humble ourselves. Help us Father to be bold and firm, but loving in expressing our views. Enable us Father to speak the truth that is, the social justice according to Your Word. I pray these in Jesus Name. Amen.

Lord God, we have moved away from You and focused ourselves on the desires of the flesh. Power, greed and selfish ambition plagues our nation and others. We have stopped seeking the good for all men and focused on seeking the good for self. Forgive us Lord. You alone can help us. Please Father God, move in our hearts and grant us Your wisdom. Please take down those who wish divisiveness and destruction and replace them with lovers of truth and justice. Lord, we are in the battle but the victory is Yours. Turn our eyes, ears and hearts toward Jesus and bring repentance and revival. Let it begin in the household of faith. Help our godly leaders to stand firm in Your Truth. Please protect Pres. Trump and all those serving in government. Help the church to be the Light in this present darkness! Lord, bring an end to those who come to steal and destroy! Maranatha Lord Jesus, Come quickly in Your Name I Pray

    I agree BUT unfortunately there are many godly leaders who want nothing to do with government and therefore aren’t informing their congregations anything about the connection between the church and government, candidates, voting, etc
    They are not telling the people what the Bible says about any of this, as well as it being our obligation, duty……………………………God ordained.
    May the eyes of their understanding be enlightened…..Ephesians 1:18

      Let’s pray for courage and truth go church leaders and government. Also, the the congregations would read a God’s Word and not rely on fallible men but on the spirit of God! In Jesus Name!

        Thank you, Denise. You are right.
        We all need to take responsibility for our walk with the Lord, it’s too easy and happens ever so
        subtly to slide into that complacent, lazy way of being/doing attitude. ” I’ll let someone else read/study and I’ll just listen to him, he knows what it’s all about.”
        CHURCH–WAKE UP!! DO YOUR PART TO READ, STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AND PRAY for everyone, especially those in positions of leadership and authority according to 1 Timothy 2: 1-2.
        Blessings to you and your family

Sorry I meant to also add that at the end of this article it sounds like Mr. Grenell is saying it is a fight between Washinton & our President Trump?
