Solomon

King Solomon.

When he inherited the throne from King David, God came to him in a dream and said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."

Solomon asked for an understanding heart to help govern the people and discernment to know right from wrong. He didn't ask for riches. Or for a long life. He didn't ask for the death of his enemies.

God was so pleased with Solomon's request, that God gave him a wise and understanding heart. And riches. And honor. And, if Solomon continued to walk in God's ways, a long life.

I wonder what our presidential candidates are praying for?

Excellent question. I just HOPE that they ARE praying and that they are petitioning for more than just "let me win."
