Dear Father of All,
You are the great and mighty one. The only true, honest,
loving, forgiving, justice giving, creator of all mankind. We humbly come before
your throne, realizing our own faults and weaknesses. It is only by your grace
of your sacrifice through your Son Jesus Christ, that we can boldly come before
you with our petitions. We are forever grateful and indebted to you.
So in this vein, we come and specifically pray for our
president of the United States of America. We ask that you will be so present
in his life that he cannot ignore your voice. We pray that you will help him
humbly ask for forgiveness asking for Jesus to be his Master, Lord and Savior.
Help him realize his insignificance apart from you. Help him to never be puffed
up in himself, but be subjected to the higher authority, which is in you.
Help him to never make a decision without consulting you. We
pray that before he signs any papers, passes any bills, places others in
leading roles, or makes any decisions, that he will stop and consult you. Let
his agendas ultimately be yours. Help him to do all things through Christ, who
will strengthen him.
Help him realize, now more than ever, his need to be on his
knees and in your word. There on his knees, give him the rest that you provide
by making him to lie down in your green pastures. In your word, give him renewal
by leading him beside your still waters. Restore his soul by helping him to
submit all things into your guiding hands. Put a guard on his tongue, to speak
only words you would have him speak. Let him be your vessel; filled with your
Holy Spirit.
Help him, through the guiding of the Holy Spirit, to love
people, as he has never loved before. Help him to love as you have loved;
loving others more than himself. Let that love so consume him that any seeds of
prejudice will be removed. Help him to never forget to forgive others, by your
love, as you have forgiven him. Help
your love to grow within him, to the point that he would even be willing to
sacrifice his life for the lives of others.
Help him to realize the gravity of his status and that apart
from you he is incapable of doing anything. Help him to realize that the
scepter he was handed, could be easily removed with one swift stroke of your
brush. Keep him forever humble before
your throne, reminding him that this was a gift; never be taken for granted.
Help him not to brag in his accomplishment, but to boast in yours.
Lead him into your paths of righteousness, for your name
sake. Guide, guard and protect him. Let him rule from his faith, not his fear.
Anoint his head with your holy oil. Fill him with your goodness, until his cup
overflows to all Americans.
Let your goodness and mercy guide our country while in the
watch of this president. Help our country to turn away from our wickedness and
seek you, by also getting on our knees and in your word. Help us to lift up our
president in prayer and keep us accountable to this cause.
In Your Holy Name we pray,
Amen
