THE ADVENT TRUTH
In the final moments of his life, William Tyndale didn’t pray for justice.
He didn’t pray for vindication.
He prayed for the man in power.

“Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.”

Tyndale was executed for translating the Bible into the language of the people. And yet, not long after his death, that very prayer was answered. The English Bible was authorized, Scripture spread, and history shifted.

That moment reminds us of something uncomfortable—but deeply biblical.

God’s people are called to pray for leaders not because they are righteous, but because God is sovereign. Prayer is not endorsement. Prayer is not agreement. Prayer is intercession.

Today, our nation is deeply divided. Political identities run deep. Emotions are strong. But Scripture still calls believers to step above party lines and kneel before the throne of heaven.

Yes—prophecy must be fulfilled.
But prophecy does not remove personal accountability.
And it does not end probation.

As long as someone is breathing, they are not beyond the reach of grace.

So here is a simple challenge: choose a time—any time—that works for you. Daily. Consistently. And pray, not with anger or bias, but with humility.

“Lord, open the President of America’s eyes.”

Pray for truth to be revealed.
Pray for restraint of evil.
Pray for wisdom where power is exercised.
Pray that God’s purposes move forward—even when we don’t understand how.

Prayer has moved kings before.
And heaven is still listening.
