I Prayed have prayed
Lord, we pray for Elizabeth MacDonough. Help her as she prepares for the impending impeachment trial. Give her wisdom, a thirst for the truth and a boldness to proclaim it.
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Elizabeth MacDonough, the first female Senate parliamentarian, will be advising the chief justice on how to address arcane procedural questions.

In a small Capitol Hill office after President Donald Trump had been impeached and official Washington bolted town for the holidays, a three-person team gathered to dig through musty old law books and congressional records.

The Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, and her aides were scrambling to prepare for an event with little precedent in American history — the impeachment trial of a U.S. president. In just a few weeks, they would have to advise Chief Justice John Roberts on how to run that trial and address a slew of arcane procedural questions that few — if any — had ever been asked. Their answers, they knew, could influence how the historic event unfolded.

Dear Lord, we lift up this woman, Elizabeth MacDonough , to you and ask that you would guide her steps into all truth concerning this impeachment trial. Let her not be coerced, controlled or manipulated by anyone. I pray for justice to be served to not only our President, but also to all who have used this opportunity in nefarious ways to further their own quest for power and domination. I pray for complete transparency so all can see the actual facts of this case put forward by the Democrats. I pray for the truth to be revealed in such a way that it cannot be spun and twisted by the media. Lord direct the steps of this trial to exonerate the innocent and show the motives of the accusers. May all the schemes of the enemy be exposed. Lord, turn the table on the accusers who lie and attempt to bring down the just. May they be fall into their own traps set to harm the innocent. Lord I pray You would restrain the lawlessness that has been unleashed our our country. We as a nation have fallen so far into depravity, but hear our prayers as we repent of the sins committed by for so long. Lord bring us back under your protection and use this President to right the ship and get us back on tract. May we have a government that serves we the people and not themselves. I pray for the rule of law to apply to everyone equally. I pray for the eyes of the American people be opened to understand the importance of fairness and to be able to put themselves in others shoes. I also pray for all the Christians that you would help us put on the mind of Christ and to understand what it means to have the Holy Spirit who lives in us to guide us everyday. Give us words, pictures, and songs to portray how You see our country at this very moment. Help us understand Your love for all mankind, especially the ones that cause so much trouble and heartache. Give us revelation to not only pray but also to step out as part of Your body to be effective to help turn our country around. Pour out your Spirit dear Lord on us and our country. We pray for a mighty move of Your hand to begin to put the pieces back together of our broken nation. We know it’s only by Your will and might that restoration can begin. We praise You and adore You as we put our full trust in You. Your love for us all is such a wonderful thing. May we all receive it and allow it to strengthen us.
