President Trump

 

Mr. Trump, we welcome you, as our 45^th President of this great country, the United States of America.
 

Thank you, Lord, for our new leader, Mr. Trump.  We pray that he would grow in Your understanding and wisdom.  May he lead this great country, at its core, to be a country after Your heart and Your ways.  We pray that Mr. Trump's relationship with you would flourish as men and women of God gather around him throughout his days encouraging and praying for him.  We pray for his safety.  We pray even that he would gain favor with those who were previously set against him. 

 

We also pray for Mrs. Clinton.  Any loss is painful, and the loss of presidency when you were so driven to gain the seat, has to be devastating.  Putting aside personal opinions about her and her running for president, we pray for her sincerely.  Help her through this time and through this, may she come to know You; come to know Your deep love for her, and may she fall deeply in love with You, as well, and follow after Your ways.

We pray for our country.  Please protect us from any safety threats; from all enemies that would threat us physically or spiritually.  We pray each of us would assume our personal responsibility to be faithful citizens.  May we be faithful to our country.  May we walk in gratefulness for our freedom and thankfulness towards those who paid and continue to pay the price for it.   May we do our part in keeping peace and living orderly lives rather than contributing to unnecessary violence amongst ourselves and destroying our very own.  May we come to an understanding of what it means to honor those in authority and become a people who understand, once again, what it means to be respectful to our leaders and to each other.

 

Be King of our country, Lord, and use President Trump to be Your vessel to bring Your will to pass.   Amen.
