"...I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years. Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes." (Daniel 9:2-3).
God is sovereign over all things. This includes those in charge of our nation. In light of this and the fact that He calls us to pray, we should heed the example of Daniel. What do we know? That God is Sovereign, man is responsible, our nation is coming up on a huge election, and our nation is incredibly wicked and deserving of judgment (including but not limited to a terrible President with wicked policies). What should we do? Think of it this way, Daniel knew that, according to what God had promised through Jeremiah, the desolation was about to come to an end. Instead of saying "God is sovereign so I don't have to do anything" he prayed on behalf of his people and repented on their behalf.
It's not too late...
