I Prayed have prayed
Lord, thank you for this national tradition that allows us to put aside all our political differences and come together to celebrate. We pray that as a nation we can focus on the reason we celebrate this season, which is the birth of Your son Jesus.

President Trump and First Lady Melania light the National Christmas Tree at the Ellipse in President’s Park in front of the White House. Here is what the President had to say about Jesus:

More than 2,000 years ago, a brilliant star shone in the East. Wise men traveled far, far afield. I mean, they were a long distance away. And they came and they stood with us under the star, where they found the Holy Family in Bethlehem. As the Bible tells us, when the Wise Men “had come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, his mother, and fell down and worshipped him.”

Christians give thanks that the Son of God came into the world to save humanity. Jesus Christ inspires us to love one another with hearts full of generosity and grace. . . . 

And at Christmas, we remember this eternal truth: Every person is a beloved child of God. As one grateful nation, we praise the joy of family, the blessings of freedom, and the miracle of Christmas.

Praying in agreement with Nancy and Maria for Pres. Trump and family, in the power and Name of Jesus!

Nancy

Thank You Father God for answering years and years of prayers for a President who would honor You and strive to return this nation to its Founding Principles as distilled from the Scriptures by our founders. So Satan whose very name means “Destructive Anger” is enraged. Therefore Father God, I pray and claim and decree this Promise from You to the prophet Jeremiah over President Trump — especially over the next year up until the next presidential election. As Satan throws every attack imaginable and unimaginable at this President, Father may he be like a strong, healthy (spiritually and physically) fruitful tree continually bearing luscious fruit — works pleasing to You — and not paying regard to nor fearing the satanic “heat” being blasted at him but rather believing in, trusting in, relying on, and hoping in You, his faithful, ultimate Confidence. Please bless his wife and family likewise. In Jesus’s Name. For Your glory. Amen.

Jeremiah 17:7-8:

[Most] blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river; and it shall not see and fear when heat comes; but its leaf shall be green. It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit.

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that yokes are being broken and light is dispelling darkness as President Trump, publicly acknowledged
God before others, and the Son of Man Jesus Christ “Yeshua” will also acknowledge you before the angels of God.

May the President ask the Holy Spirit for boldness to guide his steps and speech that we may be become a Holy nation in the sight of God now in Jesus Name. Amen.

Heavenly Father, I give you praise that our President spoke of Jesus as the reason for the season publicly to our Nation without fear or shame. I am in my late seventies and it has been too many years since I have seen that done from our President. Praise be to God our Father and to Jesus Our Christ both now and forever more, Amen!

Thank you, oh God, that President Trump invokes the name and recognition of Jesus Christ into his Holiday speech. I pray, Heavenly Father, that he truly knows Jesus personally and has a full and strong relationship with you.

Thank you, Lord God, for your people working in the Administration and in government offices everywhere. Keep them strong and bold. Fill them with truth, knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for the places and ways that we see your Spirit and your power working. We continue to pray for awakening, for hope and restoration in our Nation and in our National and Foreign Affairs policies.

Praise your name, Oh Jesus. Thank you for great blessings and goodness.

Lord, I thank Your for this man and for the way Your hand is upon him. May You continue to guard his heart and his head and keep him in good health. I thank You for guiding him to make this public prayer in the face of so much opposition to Your Son’s birth and life. I thank You that You are again demonstrating that You still love this country and are giving us responsible leadership. Your name be praised!

Jesus said in Luke 12:8
“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God.
Thank you Mr President and Melania for honoring our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as the reason we celebrate
“Christ”mas. May the Lord continue to fill your hearts and home with His truth. I pray Psalm 1 over you

What an inspiring message and so full of truth and encouragement. Jesus is the real reason we celebrate Christmas and His love message is what we are to live daily. There are many who are hurting during the Christmas season due to loneliness, illness, loss of loved ones, finances and many other reasons so let us remember to lift them all up in prayer. Dear Mr. President I am so delighted that you and your precious wife are in the White House and I thank God for both of you. I pray for you both and your families almost every day. Again, thank you for this message of hope, joy and life.

I guess when the Libs see this they will say “see I told you he is not of sound mind he thinks there is a God let add this to the on going charges.”
I have some sad news for them it says in Gods law we shall not bare false witness on our fellow man!

I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers and intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

THANK YOU JESUS
AMEN

What an awesome way to acknowledge the birth and existence of Jesus Christ — giving Him honor —
nationwide, without wavering, by
President Donald John Trump.
This Season is a reminder for us to love God with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our minds: and to love one another as we love ourselves.
It’s all about love, because God is love.
May God Almighty, continue to bless President Trump with wisdom according to His will; and bless his family as well.
Father God, Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit, I honor You, praise You, thank You, and worship You.
May those who read this email receive God’s love and peace today and forever, in the name of Jesus.
Amen🙏
