Very early polls showed him at the top of the Republican list, and even tied overall with Hillary Clinton.

However, through a conference call, Romney told donors, "After putting considerable thought into making another run for president, I've decided it's best to give other leaders in the party the opportunity to become our next nominee."

There are plenty of other hopefuls who appear to making a go of it, though, with Jeb Bush now leading the pack in Romney's absence.

Of course it is still very early in the US presidential race, and anything could happen.

Now is the time for Christians to be praying for God's hand on this country and for the person He wants in the White House.
