for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. I Timothy 2:1-4
Pray for the President's salvation- No one knows our hearts except God alone, but knowing how narrow the way is that leads to salvation (Matthew 7:13-14) and taking into consideration the President's words and actions, it seems likely that he is not saved. Our burden for his salvation should be two-fold, first, for his own soul and the salvation of his family, and second, that his salvation will enable him to be a Godly leader.
Pray for the President's, and his family's, safety and protection- His wife needs her husband, those two little girls need their daddy, and our nation needs a leader.
Pray that God will help the President to be a Godly husband and father- The presidency is a job that leaves little time for anything or anyone else. Pray that the President will have the time to spend with his family, leading them to Godliness.
Pray that God will surround the President with wise and Godly counsel- Proverbs 1:5 says: "A wise man will hear and increase in learning, And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel".
Pray that God will direct the President's decisions- Proverbs 21:1 tells us: "The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes."
Pray that, whatever the actions of the President, we will become a Godly nation- "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance." Psalm 33:12
May God bless our new President, and may God bless the United States of America.
