I should have titled this article, A Letter to A President,
not a letter to THE president, because this is not about any particular
president. It is not about politics either. It is a letter to all
presidents—past, present, future. I think the Bible clearly states that we are
to pray for our leaders, bless our enemies and do good to those who spitefully
use us.
I’d planned to send a copy of this letter to the current
president, and I hope he reads this article. However, I wrote a letter to a president
once, and he never got it, as far as I know. I did get a letter from one of his
assistants, thanking me for the letter.
Christians can and sometimes do disagree with the views of a
leader on a list of issues. Nevertheless, I think we should pray for them
merely because the Lord asked us to do it. For me, that is reason enough.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you will pray for our
leaders too.

Dear Mr. President,
Greetings from South Texas. I am writing to let you know that
I am praying for you. In fact, my husband and I pray for you and all our
leaders every night. We are Christians, and the Bible says to pray for our leaders.
So as long is we are alive on this earth and able, we will continue to pray for
you and all our leaders as we have been doing. To me, it is a comfort to know
someone is praying for you. Maybe that is the same with you.
The television is often full of bad news, but I am writing
to give some very good news. No matter what you might have done or not done in
the past, you can be forgiven and your sins washed away.
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son,
(Jesus) that whosoever believe in him will not perish but have everlasting
life.
Book of John, chapter three and verse 16
All you have to do is repent of all your sins and really
mean it, be baptized and believe by faith that God’s only begotten son, Jesus,
has come in the flesh and is coming again. Your free ticket to heaven was
bought and paid for when Jesus shed his precious blood on a cross, dying in
your place and mine—dying for all those who truly turn to him. Jesus is like
the doorway to heaven, and nobody goes to God he Father except through that
door—through Jesus.
Nobody is perfect. We have all sinned. I know I sure have. However,
I changed my final destination from hell to heaven by repenting of all my sins,
being baptized and making Jesus my Lord, Savior and King.
Hell is real place, and nobody has to go there, if they are
willing to take these simple steps.
I just prayed for you and will be praying for you again and
again.
Molly Noble Bull
