Father, thank you for the millions of Christians who purposely prayed for our President on Sunday. We pray many would continue to regularly pray for him.
Reading Time: 2 minutes

President Donald Trump made a brief unannounced visit to McLean Bible Church Sunday morning where Pastor David Platt prayed for him on stage.

“Oh God, we praise You as the one universal king over all,” Platt prayed with one hand holding an open Bible and the other hand on Trump’s back. “You are our leader and our lord and we worship You. There is one God and one savior and it’s You. Your name is Jesus and we exalt you, Jesus.

“And we know, we need Your mercy. We need Your grace, we need Your help, we need Your wisdom in our country. And so we stand right now, on behalf of our president, and we pray for Your grace, and Your mercy, and Your wisdom upon him.

“God, we pray that he would know how much You love him. So much that You sent Jesus to die for his sins, our sins, so we pray that he would look to You. That he would trust in You. That he would lean on You. That he would govern and make decisions in ways that are good for justice, and good for righteousness, and good for equity, every good path.

“Lord we pray, we pray that You would give him all the grace he needs to govern in ways we just saw in 1 Timothy, chapter 2, that will lead to peaceful and quiet lives, Godly and dignified in every way.

“God, we pray for your blessing, in that way, upon his family. We pray that you would give them strength, we pray that you give them clarity, wisdom.

“Wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Please, oh God, give him wisdom. And help him to lead our country, alongside other leaders.

“We pray today for leaders in Congress. We pray for leaders in courts. We pray for leaders at national and state levels.

“Please, oh God, help us to look to You. Help us to trust in Your word. Help us to seek Your wisdom and live in ways that reflect Your love and Your grace, Your righteousness and Your justice. We pray for Your blessings on our president toward that end. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.”

Trump left without giving a speech and was mouthing the words “thank you” as he waved to the applauding audience as he walked off stage.

A video of the prayer was posted by Bloomberg.

Sunday was also the “Special Day of Prayer for the President,” led by evangelist Franklin Graham, but the two events seemed to be unrelated.

It was just reported on FOX that people in McClean Bible Church complained that the pastor prayed for the President. So Pastor David apologized. Sad on two counts, that the people didn’t recognize the Word calls to pray for our leaders, and sad that the Pastor caved to PC attitude. Mr. Trump never said a word, it was not a political action, he stopped by the church for prayer. Shame

Praise God gor all who prayed for our president, but our job is not done thru one dedicated day of prayer. We MUST pray fervently every minute of everyday. The word says “pray without ceasing for this is the will of God”. Onward prayer warriors.

Psalms 51 Create in Donald J Trump a clean heart and renew in him a right spirit. Do not cast him from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from him restore to Donald Trump the joy of your salvation and grant him a willing Spirit to sustain him. Psalm 35 Contend Lord with those who contend with Donald Trump,the sovrenty of the United States, and those of us that stand for righteousness, truth and justice. Fight against those who fight against your people. Take up shield and armor arise and come to our aid. Brandish Spear and Javelin against those who pursue your anointed vessel and his administration and your people.Psalms 70:2-4 May those who want to take Donald Trump’s life be put the shame and confusion. May all who desire his ruin return back in disgrace. May those who say to him ahaaha turn back because of their shame, but may all who seek you Lord rejoice and be glad in you. May those who long for your saving help always say the Lord is great!,Psalms 140:8 do not Grant the wicked their desires Lord do not let that plans succeed. Psalms 91:5-8 you will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plagues that destroy at midday. A thousand may fall at your side ten thousand at your right hand but it shall not come near you you will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Deuteronomy 5:7-8 The President and the body of believers in this great nation will have no other god before us. We will not apologize, be politically correct,make excuses, or bow down to ANY other deities in this nation. We serve the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob and Jewish Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) is his only begotten son who died for all of our sins. We declare that the scepter of wickedness in psalms 125 will not remain in the United States of America’s legislative government,judicial system, cities and states government, law enforcement, media, entertainment, universities and colleges administration, 5 fold ministry parents and teachers. We declare that the scepter of Righteousness from Psalms 110 is now in operation from this moment on. 2 Corinthians:5 we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God when we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. In Yeshua’s (Jesus)name we command every plan, plot, scheme of the enemy to destroy this country from within our by other means be exposed and come to nothing. Let every curse,spell and incantation be reversed in Yeshua’s name. Amen.
Psalm 68:1 God arises. His enemies are scattered,

and those who hate Him flee His presence.
Father far to many people in this nation have lost respect for you and your plans, Far to many in this country every level in society take you lightly even in the church to the point that they compromise and choose political correctness over standing on your word alone. Forgive this nation according to Daniel 9 prayer. We repent to you on behalf of all those in our nation and renounce replacement theology, political correctness, submission to any other deities, principalities or powers, or their human agents. We Reject the delicacies of lawlessness, perversion, racial hatred, harlotry,division. We rejected the false prophets and their false prophetic words spoken through the media news reporters and commentators,entertainment celebrities and even the pulpit spreading lies hate etc. Father open the eyes of the blind in this country bring us to true repentance so this nation
can really heal and revival

Let every act of treason be brought to light and the perpetrators brought to swift justice without delay, false flags or whatever tactics they want to use to deflect or distort the truth to the point that the media can’t even run interference.

Our father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done in the United States of America as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from the evil one for thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever Amen.

Our church prayed together for 45 minutes this morning. And we have been holding our President and his family up, our Border, the military taking care of special assignments, peace talks between North Korea and our nation. Iran and our nation, China and our nation, Mexico and our nation. We’ve all continued to pray through the day in our separate homes. And we daily hold up our wonderful 45th President, Donald John Trump. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

Although today was a special day of prayer for our POTUS and our nation, my prayer is that all of us pray for him daily. Every day I lift him to the throne of God and ask the Lord to give His angels charge him, his family and V.P. and family and all admin. May the Lord continue to use him to bring our country back to being what the Lord wants it to be. No weapon formed against him will prosper.

Lord forgive our nation of militant Homosexuality. May we all have a right perspective about this issue that has been a constant thru all of human history, to love and pray for individuals in this lifestlye, but not kow-tow and try to think it should be normal, or applauded. We remember the story of Sodom and Gommorah. We tremble in Holy fear of your judgement and ask for healing for how EACH INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN sees this,that it would be in line with scripture.

    Something shifted today for our President and our Nation. Something was prevented. Millions of Angels were released on our land. Ministering Spirits of Mercy and Grace is upon the White House. Greater Strength- Convergence of hope released. Compassion of the love of Christ took melted the hearts of man today. A new mantle was place on the shoulder of our President. Kingdom on earth has been established! Grace and favor as POTUS speaks to the leaders of this world. Humility and humbleness of heart to those who would attempt to destroy his spirit- but failed. A new back bone of steel has emerged! Eyes are open now to see! And the Bride will continue to pray day and night for sitting president of the United States and Commander Chief, Donald John Trump. Honor and integrity has been restored. Spirit of deception and lies are gone to the dry places and will never return. Every Judas in the camp has been and will continue to be exposed! Yeshua Name is exalted above all false gods! NO other God like Yay-Weh!

      Many Grand, glorious, Majestic, ect prophecies given here! It’s really fortunate that our God is patient with all those who speak a word that is not from him and also for these Prophets that God’s people do not hold them to account for the Fulfillment or not of prophecies given! Also that is another reason why we are in the same kind of mess Israel continued to get into!
