Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 2

***Prayer for the Trump Administration

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.m their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

This nation is so fractured that it is hard to know where to begin praying. We have turned away from Your Word.

You alone hold the future of this nation. You alone know the collective moral compass. You know our collective thoughts and heart of this nation. You know our turnings from Your path of righteousness. You know the thoughts and deviousness of every person in this nation...truly, nothing is hidden from You.

You alone know the danger at our doorstep.

Truly, our heart is egregious before You. We have sinned. We have turned, everyone, to our own hearts' desires. We have created our own gods, followed them and worshiped them. We continue to do so. Have mercy O God.

Pastors, preachers and teachers have, by and large, not called us on our behavior. Those with the courage and unction to do so, have met with great resistance. As a nation, we do not want You. We do not want to hear Your Truth. We want our own way. We have turned our backs and even persecuted those who call us to repent. Have mercy O God.

Your mercy alone has sustained us as every area of our nation has deteriorated. Some believe that You have granted us a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump. I pray this is so for our plight is dire and we refuse to acknowledge that You will not and can not allow us to continue in this manner of abomination.

May these people, called by Mr. Trump, each humble themselves before You. Please open their hearts to see their own sin, that they may fall before Your throne of grace and seek You diligently as the Author of Liberty and Freedom.

They each need wisdom from You and a multitude of wise counsel. Father, we need You to grant us the creativity to find unique solutions. Can we use our resources differently? Wisely? ...only with Your help. Have mercy O God.

May each person carefully assess the disaster that awaits this nation for each decisions they make on their own ability. ...and may each person turn to You and humbly ask for guidance. Open their hearts that they may hear.

Establish in each person a servant's heart. Establish Your Word within them and give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness as the foundation of true service, first to You and then to this nation. Raise up wise counsel for each person; people who are established in Your Word and with a heart to stand before You without shame.

How can we as a nation recapture our identity as "One Nation Under God"? ...what will it take? O God, You took Your people into captivity as a demonstration of Your love and care for them. You did not spare them the cost of their iniquity. And You are the same, yesterday, today and forever. Have mercy O God, that our hearts may be turned to You.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Prayer for the Trump Administration, No. 1

***Prayer for the Trump Administration

Romans 6:14
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are holy and Your plan for us will not be thwarted. You are omnipotent—all powerful—and yet You want to hear from us and You attend to our prayers. You allow us to influence You. Thank You.

Yet, You are holy and righteous. And only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, can we approach You and be heard. Thank You for this Provision. Thank You for Your continuous attention. Thank You that You are for us. You want us to succeed.

Our nation is in turmoil. We have enjoyed our freedoms without protecting them and now they have been overtaken by the agendas of those who do not recognize Your supreme authority. Forgive us and call us to repent. We are bombarded by so many distractions that we are grateful for a way to pass on responsibility—especially this responsibility.

We need wisdom to know what is distracting clutter and what to attend to. Father, we have lost touch with what is important. The "urgencies of the moment" in our lives have pushed out what is important. Forgive us and call us to step back. Teach us what is important from Your perspective and show us how to make that urgent. Bless us by making Your agenda our top priorities.

You beckon us to pray for our leaders. We do so here. Please hear our prayer.

Protect Donald Trump and those he is calling to serve in his administration. Surround them, their families, and their businesses by Your heavenly hosts. Protect their hearts and minds from the media and all other distractions that would undermine our nation.

Fill these men and women with Your wisdom: the wisdom that is from above.

James 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Father, this can only happen by Your Spirit.

May these people lead in accountability to You and You alone. Establish their minds and hearts to see that they are a part of a greater plan and purpose. Protect them from arguments, falsehoods, commentary, and attacks from adversaries who would want to sway them for their hidden and not-so-hidden agendas. Protect them especially from the media and public attacks on their character.

Establish in these people, the importance of keeping their minds and hearts pure...from Your perspective. Help them to understand the importance of aligning their thoughts, actions, and motivations, to be in accordance with Your Word - that YOU are then able to protect them as they bring their wisdom and abilities to serve the United States of America.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

Body of Christ to pray fervently for our nation and leaders, No. 3

*** That the body of Christ in America would fervently pray for our nation and its leaders.

1 Corinthians 6:9
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You are righteous and holy...It is beyond the scope of our understanding. You only are worthy of worship. I come to You on behalf of this nation. You birthed this nation... in Your strength we grew strong and by Your grace, we grew mighty among all the nations of the earth. This was because of Your hand.

Father, our nation has become proud and we have credited the success to ourselves. Forgive us. We have devised, nurtured and affirmed a new order that unabashedly challenges Your order, even though You put these things in place for our safety, health, and welfare. You have set the standard—that we might prosper, but we have gone our own way and established what is "good" from our own perspective. Forgive us.

Father, the Body of Christ has not kept a careful watch as these changes have taken place. It seems we have become dormant and have little desire to challenge and defend the godly society that blessed this nation for so long. Please forgive us.

What can we do now?

Your Word:

Zachariah 4:6 6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

Teach us to pray for our nation and leaders, that by Your might, there is might and power that is greater than what can know. You are the Lord of Hosts and by Your Spirit, transformation is possible.

By Your Spirit, this nation can be changed. Dare we hope that this is possible. It seeks out of the realm of possibilities. Yet You are the Lord of Hosts. All power and might is at Your beck and call. You even changed the heart of Pharaoh. You changed the heart of Nebuchadnezzar. Father change our hearts.

Change the hearts of Your church to fervently pray for our nation and leaders. Give us prayers that transform and invigorate. Give us a heart to engage with leaders locally, statewide, and nationally—as we are able. Help us to better understand their concerns and pray for them —that godly solutions will be brought forth and embraced.

Father, we so need Your help. We cannot do this on our own. It seems that every abomination in Scripture has been embraced by our society. Factions have become so strong that it is difficult to see a path to make a difference.

Dispatch Your servants to win back these people, one person at a time. Give each of us an agenda of people to talk to. Please move by Your Spirit beforehand, to prepare the hearts...that they may receive Christ. Raise up and embolden Your willing servants.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

For Americans to respect and honor their parents, No. 2

*** That Americans would respect and honor their parents.

Exodus 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Please pray with me:

Father in heaven:
How excellent is Your Name over all the earth! You are gracious and loving towards Your children. Your love is perfect and nurtures us to live lives of peace and spiritual prosperity. Your love is always in our best interest. You are the perfect loving Father. Thank You for Your example and for Your Word. You show us and Your Word guides us so we can remain in the order that You designed.

You have commanded us to respect and honor our parents that social order may be maintained and that we may prosper. Thank You. Sometimes Your Word seems confining. Where You bring freedom, we tend to see restraints. Forgive us.

May children treasure their grandparents as they see the honor and respect of their parents towards them. May adults treat their elderly parents with great love, honor, respect and tenderness. Hold them strong here—especially when disease causes relationships to be challenging.

Father, please establish relationships between husbands and wives that honor You and want to honor You. Bind them by Your Holy Spirit, so that they unite before Your throne of grace on behalf of their marriage and their children. In turn, may they be protected from the influences that war against us.

Please protect husbands that they resist the temptation to provoke their wives or children to anger and frustration. Secure their minds and hearts that any temptation is cast out. Grant them patience, long-suffering and understanding. Give them respectful, helpful and loving responses to direct their children in the way in which they should live.

Father, You are the Author of marriage. May it be sacred in our nation again. Cause married couples to demonstrate over and over again to those around them—the benefits of the social order that You established. May the "researchers" continually find and report that marriage, as You define it, establishes a successful society. Father, cause the marriages that honor You to be Your messengers to those who doubt.

You have commanded husbands to love their wives and to honor them. You have commanded wives to respect and honor their husbands. You have established roles so that families can flourish and thrive. May the obedience of married couples be so powerful, that children gravitate to this model and it becomes locked into their hopes for and the very reality of their future.

May the obedience of parents to Your Word inspire children to be obedient to their parents. May the respect that parents demonstrate in the home —towards You, be embraced by their children so that the respect for their parents is a natural and embraced way of living.

May the successful relationships between parents and their children become personal habits that are unquestioned.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.

City, State and National Leaders, No. 3

*** That our city, state and national leaders would be presented with the Gospel and loving Christian witness.

Romans 10:14
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

Truly, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most wonderful reality on this earth. Our leaders, locally, across the State and nationally, are in incredible need. And they may not even know it. The Gospel of Christ— Freedom from sin and peace from the Prince of Peace.

Raise up men and women to demonstrate the Gospel in many dimensions. May every leader be presented the Gospel from multiple directions. Truly, may it be so poignant, everywhere they turn, that it is undeniable. Amen!

May these leaders hear Your Gift of Salvation. Please raise up loving preachers who demonstrate the Gospel in their lives, people who are trustworthy and credible to our leaders at every level. Father, fill them with Your Holy Spirit to deliver the one message that never gets old:

Jesus Christ has died in our place to pay the price for our sins—that we might have life everlasting and enjoy You in all eternity. Father, please raise up these people to preach the Gospel. And please open the hearts and minds of theses leaders to hear and accept Christ as Savior.

Father, You have sent Your Word. We have it! It is so readily available here in this country. Thank You! But truly it is of no value to our leaders if they don't access it. Father, I ask for the availability of the Gospel to every leader in the United States. Please make a Bible be available to them in their homes and in their offices. And then, grant them an undeniable and urgent desire to open Your Word and read it—specifically to find Your wisdom and purpose for them—and to direct them in the decisions that they make as leaders and servants of the people in this nation.

There are other ways they can "see" Your Truth, Your Salvation, Your path...and that is through the lives of others who profess faith in Christ and seek the spirit-filled life. Oh, please, raise up an army of people who live life in a manner that brings credibility to the Gospel. May this testimony be so obvious. Father, I ask it. Raise up Your army and may we say, "Send me."

Father, touch the lives of all our leaders with a true desire to serve and be honorable before You. Bring true Christian witness and testimony to them and bind them in the fellowship fo the Holy Spirit...that this nation can be changed.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
