God must think we are poor miserable sinners;

God must think we are poor miserable sinners; knowing we are only
deserving of His wrath and judgment, yet forgives us through the blood
and sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.

God must think that in spite of the sin dwelling within each and every
one of us that those who trust in His Son as their Savior are forgiven
and given the gift of eternal life in a place where there is no more
sorrow, no more tears, no more terror, no more torture.

God must think that those whose aim and ambition in life is to destroy
God's children, like the enemies of His children long ago, are to be
sought out and destroyed.

God must think that those who take a stand against the ungodly, in
spite of their sinful flesh causing them to err in judgment, are to be
lifted up by His righteous right hand for the strength and power to
persevere throughout this life to life everlasting.

God must think that those who He's placed in authority over His people
are to be respected and trusted in the face of lies and deceit by
those whose political bias has skewed their reason and thinking.

God must think that those who attempt to undermine His authority by
undermining those He's placed in authority are simply not trusting in
God's providential power and rule from heaven above.

God must think that all those who are proud to be Americans have the
God-given right to BE proud living in a country whose foundation was
built on the laws of Christ and whose freedom stems from the freedom
Jesus, Himself, has given us from the curse and power of sin in our
lives.

And finally, what we all must think, is that in spite of our political
leanings, the venom we allow to seep and spew from our tongues, the
opinions we so freely give without experiencing first-hand the harsh
realities of war, what an awesome God we have in whom to place our
trust.

Dear Father in heaven: We pray You to continue to uphold our
president and his administration as they continue to strive to do Your
will. Grant them Your wisdom and Your protection as they continue to
stand strong in the face of political attacks and the arrows of
satan. In Jesus' Name. Amen...so shall it be!
