A PRAYER FOR THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ADMINISTRATION

Almighty God, you have instituted governments under your authority as your servants. We thank you for the governing bodies of our republic duly constituted to represent all citizens and to provide equal justice under the rule of law. We pray that you will bless your servant our President Donald Trump, that under his administration our nation may be wisely governed. Let your wisdom be his guide and may your arm strengthen him in the fulfillment of his duties. Let truth and justice, holiness and righteousness, peace and charity, be the hallmark of his term in office. Direct all his counsels and endeavors to your glory, and the welfare of all people.

Give him, and his national security team, discernment and courage as they seek to preserve us from danger. May his role as Commander-in-chief be executed with consideration for all members of our armed forces. Protect us from our enemies in this dangerous world.

Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions. Take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatsoever else may hinder us from godly union and concord: that as there is but one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
