Rushdoony on Misguided Prayers for Government Officials

“Contemporary prayers for the president, congress, governors, and others, which ask God to bless ungodly and evil men are perversions of Paul’s meaning; we are to pray that God give them wisdom, bring them to repentance and a saving knowledge of Him, but certainly not to bless them in their evil ways.”
