A remarkable controversy has emerged among CHRISTIANS in response to Franklin Graham's call for churches and believers to pray for President Donald Trump. What does the Bible say about how to pray for a president? What is God's response to those who have been "hurt" by a call to pray for President Trump?

Psalm 105 was written in response to the conclusion of a more than twenty year journey of the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh to Jerusalem which involved emotional swings from praise of God to anger toward God, reflecting the reality of the Christian life.

God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit devised a plan to rescue us from our sin and reconcile us to God. This is God's thoughts toward us (Psalm 40:5). But God also thinks upon us (Psalm 40:17). His thinking upon us is His affection for His elect expressed in the attributes of His righteousness, His faithfulness, His salvation, His lovingkindness, and His truth.
