A Prayer For The President



"For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from Him comes my salvation.
He only is my Rock and Salvation;
my Defense and my Fortress.
I shall not be greatly moved."
Psalm 62:1-2





I think I might have posted this prayer before,
however, in the midst of this ongoing crisis, I feel it
should be posted again, and I urge everyone reading this
 prayer to please be inspired to pray for President Trump,
as he courageously continues to guide the nation in
the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please pray that our president will hear and heed the voice of
the Holy Spirit when making crucial decisions for the American people.

Pray also for the members of his cabinet and the other
leaders of America, that they too, will hear the voice of God,
and obey His commands in this uncertain and dangerous
 time for our nation and the world.


 A Prayer for the President of the United States of America:



"We Pray, Lord Jesus, for our President. We are deeply concerned
that he may know the will of God, and that he may have the spiritual
courage and grace to follow it.

Deliver him, we pray, from all selfish considerations.

Lift him above the claims of politics.

Fill him with the Spirit of God that shall make him
fearless to seek, to know, to do right.

Save him from the friends who, in the name of politics,
or even friendship, would persuade him from that holy path.

Strengthen and empower his advisers.  Bring them, too, to their
knees in prayer.  May their example and their influence spread, that we,
in these United States may yet have a government of men who know Thee,
the Almighty God, as their Friend, and who pray Thy will first in
their lives as well as in their prayers.

Here and answer, we pray Thee,  forgiving us all our unworthiness;
cleansing us from every ignoble thought and unworthy ambition, 
 that we may be renewed in spirit and mind and heart through
Jesus Christ, our Lord.  Amen.





"For The President of the United States of America"
A prayer by Reverend Peter Marshall Sr.
(1902-1949)
Twice-elected Chaplain of the United States Senate
