Pray for Huckabee?

Mike Huckabee needs your prayers.  He’s seeking  divine guidance as he decides whether or not to run for President.  While others set up Exploratory Committees to try and answer that question, Huckabee has instead created a website: http://prayforhuckabee.com/ .  Well, technically he didn’t put up the site, meaning that it isn’t paid for by Huck Pac.  But he did write the prayer request letter posted on the site.  His dilemma is that if he makes an overt move towards candidacy, Fox News will take him off the air.  That’s what they did with contributors Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum.  But Huck’s problem is whether or not to give up his half-a-million dollar year contract with Fox News to pursue the job of President which pays less and requires a lot more work.  So, he can’t set up an Exploratory Committee.  Instead, he sets up a prayer chain.  Now there is nothing wrong with prayer.  I pray each day for my daily tuna and cream, for friends who are sick, for an end to the war, for forgiveness, and sometimes even for the President.  But asking God to guide Huck’s decision-making process is — well, a little creepy for me.  So could you pray for Huck for me?  And while you’re at it, pray for America, also.  God help us.

    Look, I’m no fan of Huck or President, but really… how is asking for prayer before making such a decision “creepy?”

    The guy is a minister. He believes in Divine guidance. So do I.

    Now, is it possible it’s a stunt? We can only hope we’re not that jaded yet, but sure, I suppose it’s possible.

    But creepy? No. I wish more politicians would ask for prayers before making big decisions.

      I have no problem with asking for prayers. If someone asks me to pray for them, I will. It’s asking for me to write down my prayer and send in my email address that smells “fishy” to this cat. God knows where I live and hears my prayers without me posting them on a web-site. So unless someone is collecting a database, they don’t need to have people hit the submit button to accomplish the purpose of that web-site. Let me know when you get the first solicitation on the Huckster’s behalf.

        This is what you said: “But asking God to guide Huck

    My prayer goes something like this:

    Dear Lord,

    Please don’t let Mike Huckabee be President unless You think it would be best.

    In the meantime, find us someone who will make our country strong and draw our country toward you.

    Amen.

    I like Mike as a person but I don’t want another big government president … we’ve already had 18 years of that in a row with another 2 to go before the next election.

      Wonder how many like yours he’ll get? I think I’ll email him Matthew 6:6:

      “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”

      I don’t see anything in that verse about sending a copy of my prayer to Mike Huckablee or anyone else.

        I doubt if The Huckster would get it.

    Not that I actually watch the clown. But I do appreciate their sacrifice.

    Nevertheless, I believe in the power of prayer and will certainly be praying that God’s will be done, rather than Mike Huckabee’s.

    He won’t be getting my prayer. But he will be getting my vote.

      I hate to tell you this, but there is no Huckabee for President.
