Lord God Heavenly Father, holy is Your Name & worthy of all praise as You are the Eternal King, Sovereign Creator, & Merciful Redeemer of rebel sinners, by grace through faith alone in the Person & finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. How Your servants praise You for being the Author of History who providentially presides over the destiny of nations in accordance with the eternal counsel of Your will. There is indeed coming a day when the knee of every president will bow & the tongue of every political leader (along with everyone else) will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, is Supreme, & is Preeminent for the glory of Your holy Name.
As You reign in majesty supreme as KING of kings & LORD of lords, Your servants boldly approach Your righteous throne of grace, in the name & authority of Christ Jesus Himself, on behalf of Donald J. Trump, J.D. Vance & their entire administration. May their hearts be broken in awestruck humility before the vertical reality of Your sovereign majesty. Therefore, may You be pleased to bless them with wisdom, vision, & courage as You have raised them up for such a time as this era of history.
1. Bless ‘Em with Wisdom – May their hearts be humble before Your throne as You have given them this responsibility. May their hearts understand that You have entrusted them with authority derived from Your Almighty hand through the citizens of this great nation. May their hearts tremble at the thought of one day bowing before Your majesty & their lives giving account of how faithful they were in the stewardship of their generation (2 Chron.1:10; Prov.1:7; 9:10; Dan.2:21; Rom.13:1; 14:10; Phil.2:9-11; Jam.1:5; Rev.20:11-15).
2. Bless ‘Em with Vision – Give them vision to see beyond what is, to what ought to be & could be in this country in accordance with the biblical principles of righteousness, justice, & jurisdictional authority as affirmed by our founding documents. Give them vision to see the big picture of Your historic plan to use our country as a shining beacon of freedom, liberty, & prosperity. Give them vision to see life from Your eternal perspective, see through the daily minutia, & not lose sight of the forest for the trees. (Prov.14:34; Mic.6:8; Jn.8:32; 2 Cor.3:17; Rev.4:1-11).
3. Bless ‘Em with Courage – Grant them courage to lead decisively having their actions rooted in a reverential fear of the Almighty & not the fickle praise of man. Grant them courage to stand with resolute conviction for biblical marriage, sanctity of human life at every stage, & our 1st freedom of religious liberty. Grant them courage to boldly resist flattery, deception, terrorism, despotism, & the perversity of woke neo-Marxism (Josh.1:9; Neh.4:14; 1 Cor.16:13-14; Gal.1:10).
Oh Lord God, this is our prayer for the Trump-Vance administration. Bless them with a passion for righteousness in the gates of our land. May Your hand be upon them for the sake of human flourishing, preservation of religious liberty, & advancement of the gospel of Christ both here & abroad. Protect them & their families & guide them in the journey ahead by Your mighty hand & outstretched arm.
We humbly bring this before You in the name of Jesus Christ before whom the knee of every president will bow & the tongue of every political leader will confess, alongside every man, woman, boy, & girl of all nations worldwide throughout history (albeit for multitudes it will be too little too late before they are banished into the outer darkness of the lake of fire), that Jesus Christ is Lord, is Supreme, & is Preeminent for the glory of Your holy Name throughout eternity. Amen.
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” 1 Timothy 1:17 NKJV
