Lincoln as a frightened raccoon, Punch, January 11, 1862 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Sure, we revere Lincoln today, but in his lifetime the bile poured on him from every quarter makes today’s Internet vitriol seem dainty. His ancestry was routinely impugned, his lack of formal learning ridiculed, his appearance maligned, and his morality assailed. We take for granted, of course, the scornful outpouring from the Confederate states; no action Lincoln took short of capitulation would ever have quieted his Southern critics. But the vituperation wasn’t limited to enemies of the Union. The North was ever at his heels. No matter what Lincoln did, it was never enough for one political faction, and too much for another. Yes, his sure-footed leadership during this country’s most-difficult days was accompanied by a fair amount of praise, but also by a steady stream of abuse—in editorials, speeches, journals, and private letters—from those on his own side, those dedicated to the very causes he so ably championed. George Templeton Strong, a prominent New York lawyer and diarist, wrote that Lincoln was “a barbarian, Scythian, yahoo, or gorilla.” Henry Ward Beecher, the Connecticut-born preacher and abolitionist, often ridiculed Lincoln in his newspaper, The Independent (New York), rebuking him for his lack of refinement and calling him “an unshapely man.” Other Northern newspapers openly called for his assassination long before John Wilkes Booth pulled the trigger. He was called a coward, “an idiot,” and “the original gorilla” by none other than the commanding general of his armies, George McClellan.

One of Lincoln’s lasting achievements was ending American slavery. Yet Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the famous abolitionist, called Lincoln “Dishonest Abe” in a letter she wrote to Wendell Phillips in 1864, a year after Lincoln had freed the slaves in rebel states and only months before he would engineer the Thirteenth Amendment. She bemoaned the “incapacity and rottenness” of his administration to Susan B. Anthony, worked to deny him renomination, and swore to Phillips that if he “is reelected I shall immediately leave the country for the Fijee Islands.” Stanton eventually had a change of heart and lamented her efforts against Lincoln, but not all prominent abolitionists did...

May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.

May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant.”

Psalm 35:26-27

Praying for the full and complete vindication of President Trump, Vice President Pence, Secretary Pompeo, and every other falsely accused or maligned individual in the administration.

For the swift defeat of all purveyors of godless havoc and disgrace. That their dark deeds be exposed; and all their efforts to destroy this President, undo this election, and steal the next one come to naught.

For a miraculous spiritual, political, and cultural turnaround to unfold in our nation in the next 395 days. (Countdown to Election Day 2020)

That God guide and lead our prayers, worship, and fasting as we seek a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit to descend upon Washington DC, the entire nation, and world.

In JESUS' name!

1 Sam 3:13
For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

---

God will judge those that knowingly allow others to commit vile and disgusting acts, behavior and words on people while they do nothing to stop it.

[V K Lee]

O! FATHER, Our nation is in need of You.
We are blessed that You heard our prayers and presented us a warrior to fight for us.
We pray he will do Your will in eliminating the moles which make the foundation of this nation highly unstable.
Please give him the necessities to erase Socialism,
Satan’s curse, from this world.

FATHER, we come before You today in Prayer for our nation. We have become so extremely divided we believe we can ever be united again.

Race, Gender, Language, genelogy/nationality: the lines of demarcation are drawn in heavy ink.
Only by Your Grace will we succeed in again making this nation whole and united once again.
Please make it so, if it be Your Will.

We pray in JESUS’ Name. AMEN

[Hiskid]

Amen and Amen. What an encouraging scripture you found for us. Thank you.

[Hiskid]

Amen.

Ezra 6:9 “Give the priests in Jerusalem whatever is needed in the way of young bulls, rams, and male lambs for the burnt offerings presented to the God of heaven. And without fail, provide them with as much wheat, salt, wine, and olive oil as they need each day. 10 Then they will be able to offer acceptable sacrifices to the God of heaven and pray for the welfare of the king and his sons.

As Condolleezza Protege has prayed, help us to offer acceptable sacrifices to the God of heaven that we might pray for the welfare of President Trump and his administration.
