How Do You Pray After Yesterday’s S—Show Trump Verdict? You Pray Like This

What, did your little youth group never mention THIS kind of prayer?

Some situations need something bigger than now-I-lay-me-down-to-sleep. Fortunately, God’s given us examples of believers bringing out the big guns — prayers with teeth and claws. Have you prayed them?

The text that follows is taken directly from our own Doug Giles’ Twitter/X account. The original tweet is here. If you love it, be sure to give him a ‘follow’.

Here’s a prayer to pray after yesterday’s sh*t show trial. Enjoy and share…

Adios, Evil Leaders.

A lot of people, for many, many serious reasons, are wringing their hands nowadays over the glide path our nation is tooling down thanks to the Marxist morons inside the Beltway.

Yep, at this writing, our current bevy of “leaders” care for that which is holy, just, and good about as much as a badger cares what a prairie dog feels when he’s chewing on his carotid artery.

I’ve personally seen and heard many Christians buy into this hand-wringing over the state of our union, and I have wondered aloud, “Why don’t you, dear Christian, cease to sweat these godless leaders and pray that God either convert them or sort them out?”

In Psalm 2, David’s not sweating the culture smack-talking against God. He’s not curled up in the fetal position, sucking his thumb, and wetting his pants over their godless and goofy plots to be free of God and cut loose from his law.

Matter of fact, David’s reaction is just the opposite of what most sad Christians are boohooing about during these days of declension.

Indeed, David states that when rebel-kings start smack-talking God and attempt to dispense with his degrees that God mocks them. Yep, Jehovah’s amused at these presumptive idiots who wish to lead a nation without giving God honor by adhering to his way.

And he doesn’t just laugh, as you’re about to see, he gets ticked off and that’s bad news bears for the fools attempting to cast loose from God’s gracious moorings.

Ergo, dear Christian, instead of chewing your fingernails down to the nub and buying the fear that saddles the faithless, why don’t you pray out loud Psalm 2 that David prayed and penned many moons ago?

Here’s the actual Psalm …

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begot- ten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. (Ps. 2:1-9 KJV)

Here’s our proclamation …

LORD, WE DECLARE, according to your Word, that leaders and nations, who rage against that which is holy, just, and good, and try to outwit you are veritable fools and not political geniuses. Indeed, their days are numbered.

Every summit conference that they hold, with their dipstick plots against our Lord Jesus and his glorious decrees, God Almighty mocks and laughs at and finds them highly amusing because they are so ridiculously stupid and foolish.

We declare that not only does God ridicule their puny plans, he also will rebuke them in his fierce fury and will fill them with holy fear, terrifying them in his wrath.

Indeed, God will remove evil leaders and replace them with leaders who love his law.

We declare that according to the Word of God, the Son of God rules the world. The nations belong to him and not the Devil and some pathetic antichrist.

Speaking of the Devil and his ilk, Jesus will smash them and the evil dreams with a rod of iron. Jesus will dash them like a clay pot, in Jesus’s name … amen.

* The preceding is from my latest book, I Talk Back to the Devil.

I Talk Back to the Devil is an action manual that sports thirty pure fire proclamations against the powers of darkness in three different categories covering, the wealth, the walk and the warfare of the Christian against Satan and his defeated ilk.

This NEW book will put a serrated edge on the Christian’s prayer life in these troubled times. This slim tome will embolden the believer to stop taking Satan’s crap.
