I couldn’t believe this when I saw it!! I was personally very encouraged to see this. This is how we need to pray for President Trump (or the Prime Minister of Canada) and demonstrate the love of Christ toward him. We, as Christians, may not agree with everything he does but we are supposed to love because Christ loves us. That doesn’t mean that we like everything he does, but that also doesn’t mean that we don’t show compassion to him, pray for him, and demonstrate the love of Christ to him. Thank you guys so much for discussing this!! One of the best episodes of 2019 in my book!!
I’m so glad to hear that, Grace! You summed it up PERFECTLY. Thank you for the encouragement, friend!
Even if you consider Trump as your enemy, you should pray for him. Because Christ Jesus commanded his disciples to pray for their enemies.
