Pray for Gen. Kelly to be effective in his new role in the White House. Click here to share your prayers with him.
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling. (Ps 2:10-11)
“Retired Gen. John F. Kelly has survived combat. The question now is whether he can survive as White House chief of staff.
The answer will be determined in part by challenges faced by every chief of staff, but most importantly by the personal relationship Kelly has with his boss — the president of the United States.
When I became White House chief of staff in 1994, President Bill Clinton was concerned about some of the same difficulties confronting this president — too little discipline, competing centers of power, a weak chain of command, haphazard access to the Oval Office, leaks and a lack of focus on a unified message or priorities. The key, however, was that Clinton recognized these problems and wanted to correct them for the sake of the country and his presidency. . . .”
(The five crucial elements discussed by Panetta in the full article are: trust, one chief, a clear chain of command, an orderly policy-development process, and telling the president the truth.)
“Every chief of staff, past and present, has faced these challenges. But success or failure is not just dependent on the chief of staff; it also hinges on the willingness and support of the president. Clinton was willing to make the changes necessary to establish effective White House operations, and he was reelected in 1996. Whether President Trump is willing to make these changes will in large measure determine not just how long Kelly survives as chief of staff, but also the ultimate success or failure of Trump’s administration.” (Excerpted from The Washington Post, commentary by Leon Panetta, White House Chief of Staff from 1994 to 1997 under President Clinton.)

Consider what I say; and the Lord give the understanding in all things. O send out they light and they truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto they holy hill, and to they tabernacles. For the Lord giveth wisdom : out of the mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous; he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of Al things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair , for these things will surely come too pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! They will not be overdue a single day! And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel , I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. Daniel 9:22. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy, nothing will harm you. Luke 10:19. In Jesus name!
General Kelly,
May The Lord Bless you and keep you
May He make His face shine upon you
and be gracious unto you.
May The Lord lift up His countenance upon you
and give you peace. Nu 6:24,25

Dear Lord,
Here our prayers, for all our leaders. Specially General Kelley’s situation.
Their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law they meditate day and night.
Psalm 1:2
Dear Father God, what great troubles our country and the world face! Truly the prophecies of Ezekiel are coming to pass. But You have each of us here for a reason. I agree with all the wonderful prayers others have offered here. And would ask dear Lord, that you grant General Kelly favor with President Trump, that the strengths and wisdom You have given to him will be evident to the President, and be valued highly. Because General Kelly understands the purpose of rank, and the neccessity of order, things You have established, please now oversee his heart and his actions, his intentions and his plans as he serves You, the President, and the people of this country. May You give him insight into how the President thinks, and his objectives. May General Kelly not take offence at the attitudes or personality of the President. Enable him to avoid unneccessary head butting, and such rancor. Remember how great our need is for You, and give us all Your peace as we rest in You and Your power. May General Kelly come to place his life in Your hands, and fill him please dear Lord, with Your Holy Spirit. Thank You wonderful Savior.
God lead them on HIS WAY. BY GRACE & WISDOM.
God Bless you Gen. Kelly. Thank You for taking this job. I pray that God will fill you with the wisdom you will need for the job. President Trump will be blessed with you at his side. I will be praying for you.
We are praying that every hidden thing will be brought to light and that you will have the Godly wisdom necessary to deal with everything.
Close to your taking of the White House Chief of Staff position, my prayer partner and I prayed for a mentor for the President. One whose counsel he would greatly respect. I believe you are just that man. I was thrilled when you were installed. God is with you: just as so many times in the past, he will never fail you, nor forsake you.
“The kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ . . . (and) The Lord is our king, the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, he will save us.” – Rev.11:15, Is.33:2
May you seek & trust in God’s wisdom –for those who trust in the Lord lack no good thing. ps 34:10
Praying for General Kelly that he will have the guts to stand up for what is right. That he will be dedicated to honesty and the fear of Jehovah first and then to the president. Praying for Jehovah’s blessing on him with wisdom and honor. But with this blessing comes a curse, if he should cease to do what is honorable in the sight of the LORD that the curses of Psalm 140 will fall upon him.
vs 8 -Do not grant the wicked their desires LORD, do not let their plans succeed.
vs 9 – Those who surround him, (the president) proudly rear their heads, may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
May General Kelly come to know the freedom and love and security that is found ONLY in Jesus Christ.
Eph 6 – For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but they are MIGHTY through Jehovah, to the pulling down of strongholds and everything that exalts itself against HIM.
For we understand that we battle against spiritual wickedness in high places.
May those who do not know Jesus come to know him today..
PRAYERS FOR BOTH, THAT THEY COULD BE GRANTED GRACE FROM ABOVE TO LOVE AND RESPECT
EACH OTHER RESULTING IN UNITY TO CARRY OUR GOD”S PURPOSES FOR THIS BELOVED AMERICA.

Dear lord, Give him the wisdom and the courage to do what he needs to do.
May you have the wisdom of God and the courage to do what you know is best.
Dear Lord may your Holy Spirit guide General Kelley & your true, grace be with him all the time.
President Clinton was elected with 36% of the votes one term and 33% the other because there were three parties running. It was the first time i was ever truly ashamed to be an American.
Lord i would ask that You would personally give General Kelley the wisdom for this office that he needs. I pray for our President that he would have support from all sides to redeem our country from radical anti Constitutional agendas from his predecessors. Make all crooked roads straight before him dear Lord, and please bless the works of his hands, in Jesus name, Amen
