A Prayer For Our President On His Birthday

 

 

 

 "Give therefore to Thy servant an understanding heart to judge 
Thy people and to discern between good and bad; for who
alone is able to judge this great people of Yours?"
(1 Kings 3:9)

 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 the right. 

Save him from 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 have a government of men

who know Thee, the Almighty God, as their Friend, and

who place Thy will first in their lives as well as in their prayers. 

 Hear 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. 

 

 Happy 79th Birthday President Trump!

May you have a beautiful and blessed day.
