Prayers for President Trump

Sunday, June 2, 2019, is set aside as a “special day of prayer” for President Donald J. Trump. Bow your heads on that day and pray for our president, so that he is successful in his presidency and so that as a result our Republic survives and thrives.

The Reverend Franklin Graham has called for this day of prayer: [emphasis added]

Along with 250+ Christian leaders, I am asking followers of Christ across our nation to set aside next Sunday, June 2, as a special day of prayer for the President, Donald J. Trump.

President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency. In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God.

This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President.

We know that God hears and answers prayer. He can soften hearts and change minds. He is all-powerful, and He rules over the affairs of nations. The Bible instructs us to pray for those in authority, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior” (1 Timothy 2:2–3).

On June 2, we ask that pastors would lead their congregations in praying for the President, that Sunday schools and other groups would join together and pray, and that individuals and families across the country would have a special focus on praying for the President that day. …

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

Reverend Graham asks that you comment on his Facebook page to let him know that you will join in prayer for our president on June 2, 2019.

The photo at top is called “Prayer at Sea.” Since so many of us have felt at sea since 2008, it seemed an appropriate image for this post.

Please join us all in prayer on Sunday. Pray for our president, his family, his success, and especially for our Republic.

May God bless our President.

And may God continue to bless the United States of America.
