There is nothing in scripture that says God helps them that helps themselves.
The approach of praying for Kerry is biblical. It's hard to do. I'm struggling. I don't like him and I don't want to pray for him, but that's the way things work in God's Kingdom. It does not mean praying that Kerry wins the election. It means praying that God brings blessings to his house. The first prayer for blessing for Kerry would be that he would come to salvation. That's a blessing. It's a prayer I've been praying.
Hmmm...
In that case, I pray that God blesses Kerry with the privilege of serving the next 4 years as senior senator from Massachusetts.
Hey, its not as hard as you made it sound.
