8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

Prayer asks God to improve Trump's moral failings as president stands feet away

A Democratic congressman shamed President Donald Trump during a prayer from just feet away.

Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D-IL) spoke Thursday morning at the bipartisan National Prayer Breakfast, where he cited scripture in his intercession asking God to open the 79-year-old president's heart to greater compassion and to follow Christ's teachings, as Trump stood by shifting his weight from foot to foot behind him.

"We also be reminded that we ask for the word of God, our good and gracious God, we pray for the health and deliberations of the president of the United States," Jackson said, "and we pray that you would be the final arbiter of whatever decisions he endeavors to make, that you would increase the stature of his wisdom, because without you, none of us can adjudicate the overwhelming details of leadership and life today we pray for America and we pray for all parliamentarians around the world."

"The Book of Timothy teaches us that you have been entrusted with leadership today we pray for the future of this nation and that you would leave this president into greater levels of compassion for your namesake," Jackson continued. "We pray that you would protect him from the iniquities of evil and that you would give him greater clarity, greater courage and greater capacity to do what is right and forever challenges. Today we remind him that the lives of millions of people are in his hands and that he has the power to turn mourning into dancing or to reduce the country into cosmic elegy of chaos and suffering, and it is because of this that we pray that the best of this president would rise among us for the sake of this nation, for the sake of this world, we pray that goodness and mercy would announce themselves in his life in new and powerful ways."

"We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that the good, and that he would be invested in the elevation, the alleviation of suffering happening on farms in the Midwest and the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis remind him that we are all Americans," the congressman added. "All made in the image of God and that none of us are free unless all of us have our freedoms protected. Many people are not lazy, many people are simply tired, many people simply are not okay. Matthew 25 teaches us that faith, that our gifts are given from God and that we should show them with compassion towards others. But most of all we pray that you would work out your will in his life. May we all do more for the greater glory of God, because when it is all said and done, we pray as Jesus taught us to pray, we ask that we surrender our all to Jesus. To all hope I give him freely, I will ever love and trust him and in his life and presence, live daily. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven."

but kudos to this brave guy for trying. Can’t believe this effin prayer breakfast is still a thing and that Democrats still participate. WTF. Can’t wait for a Democrat to finally renounce this Christian Nationalist event sponsored by the nefarious Family and finally send this rightwing event into the dustbin of history.
