What do you do if you’re president of the United States and some group of wackos offers to pray for you?
I’ve seen several stories like this over the years, where the media attempts to tar some politician because a group with fringe beliefs offers to pray for him.
What would you do in that situation?
In nearly every case I think I would say, “Thank you. I need a lot of prayer.” But if the wackos were out-and-out Satanists, or one of the more sinister brands of Wiccans, I think I’d say something along the lines of, “I can’t stop you, but I’d prefer that you didn’t.”
@Nat…good answer!
I remember once that some people who thought that I might be damned from the foundation of the world said that they were praying for me. That definitely sent a chill down my spine.
Yes, good answer.
I doubt if Nat has ever encountered an out-and-out Satanist or a Wiccan of their more sinister kind, let alone one that said she will pray for him. If so, it was a highly exceptional incident, whereas there are all kinds of self-styled and semi-conventional Christians – some of them quite sinister – who would be hanging around in those parts.
I’d be in big trouble if I demonized presidents or anyone, for that matter, who get prayed for by wackos, since wackos are the only people who pray for me.
Come to think of it, there are two or three people, maybe few more, who are not wackos and who pray for me. But those people are total clowns.
