Proverbs 21:1
“In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.”
Heavenly Father, we are commanded to pray for all those in authority over us and we offer up our prayer for our President, Donald J. Trump. We beg you, God, that You would draw Mr. Trump unto Yourself; draw him into a personal relationship with You, placing his faith in Christ for salvation if he is not presently a believer. We pray that he would develop a fear of the Lord and a conviction by the Holy Spirit to repent, to humbly seek forgiveness, and pray and that God would give him a spirit of wisdom and revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that You would protect him from pride and deception of any kind and fill him with all truth. We pray that You would give him a desire to read the Bible and to pray faithfully, with dependence on You each day. May You impress upon the President that he is in the White House by Your sovereign hand, and it is, therefore, a sacred responsibility—to whom much is given, much is required.
Please grant him the company of spiritual counselors to advise him on issues vital to our nation and who will help him make wise decisions that will fulfill God’s will for our nation. Help him discern what evil is or who has evil intent towards him and our nation, and have the determination to fight against all attacks of the evil one. We know that a nation divided against itself cannot stand; our nation and our President need You more than ever to give us unity and a sense of brotherhood that our foes from within or without would want to demolish.
Continue to give him the courage of his convictions regarding policies and decisions that have an impact on preserving life, God’s design for marriage, parental rights, religious liberty, and financial security.
We pray for the President’s family, that they would be protected from harm, illness, and falsehoods. Be with our First Lady, that she would continue to have a strong and calming influence on her husband; a loving advocate who will advise him about managing stresses and maintaining physical health. We pray that he will not grow weary in well doing nor lose heart, that in his weakness You will be his strength, and that his body will remain strong and healthy. We ask, most gracious Lord, to watch over our President with your divine protection, to send your angels to have charge over him and guard him in all his ways. We ask for the spirit of prayer to touch the hearts of our citizens all over the country to pray daily for Mr. Trump, his family, our leaders, and our country.
We love you, Lord, and we trust You. Thy will be done, and all glory will be yours. Father. We ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus, the One who is mighty to save. Amen.
