A Prayer for a President: Psalms 109:8


A Prayer for a President: Psalms 109:8

You got a problem with praying? 

If so, that’s fine in the United States of America where your freedom to pray or not pray, to practice or not practice a religion, is enshrined in our Constitution’s Bill of Rights although that enshrinement has taken some body blows from the Obama administration. 

Still, despite Obama’s assaults on the Constitution, few Americans would take offense over a prayer–aside from atheists and Obama’s Secret Service. 
Pray for Obama: Another Anti Obama Billboard Stirs up Controversy | Psalms 109:8  Longtime Texas resident Milton Nietsch was inspired to offer a simple prayer for America’s beleagured president on his  Victoria, Texas billboard.  It read, ”Pray For Obama,” an invocation flanked by a drawing of hands clasped in prayer and another of the president in profile. 

It wasn’t so much those parts of Nietsch’s billboard that attracted the attention of the Secret Service as it was the references beneath them.  And, it wasn’t so much the mention of Psalm 109:8 that bothered the people charged with protecting the life and limb of the president as much as it was the verses that follow 109:8 in the Old Testament but didn’t even appear on the billboard. 

Most normal Americans would react, well, normally, to Nietsch’s innocuous,  prayerful wish but, then again, life in ObamaWorld is no longer exactly normal by most traditional standards where religion and Christianity in America are under ceaseless attack. 

In ObamaWorld, government is now authorized to suspend and/or revoke our freedom to practice our religion as we see fit, religiosity is regarded by many in power as a sociological aberration, and Mitt Romney’s Mormon religion is being used in an attempt to destroy his bid for the presidency. 

Compounding America’s religious confusions, millions of Americans still believe Obama is a liar when he says he is a Christian who mainly takes his family to church during an election year.  

Obama’s Secret Service apparently has little to occupy its time so, in lieu of  protecting the president from bodily harm and tracking down real dangers, became all exercised over Psalm 109:8 which reads, “Let his days be few, and let another take his office”, because of the biblical sentiments that follow that verse. . .
