What to do with a Wicked King

Here is my prayer for our President and our country.

Heavenly Father, we thank you that your truth is still as valid today as ever. Your Word says that “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will” (Proverbs 21:1). We know that you can do impossible things! Even though we see the rising tide of unrighteousness, our prayer is that through these times, your righteousness would prevail. May your righteousness prevail upon the President’s life, in his family, in his work, and in his administration and stewardship. May your righteousness prevail for our country, in its policies, pronouncements, and decisions. May your righteousness prevail that our President would stand for what is right, and for those who cannot defend themselves, including the unborn. May your righteousness prevail that our President would influence others toward right thinking and action, with all wisdom and prudence. May your righteousness prevail upon him so he would be an example of righteousness, and as a witness to God’s righteousness. May your righteousness prevail that it might be seen of all men, through this man, for your glory, Our Father.

We pray that you would protect the United States of America, and let us shine as an example to the world. We pray that you would bless us, not simply by sanctioning our choices, but rather that you would stir our hearts and steer our paths. May the Holy Spirit lead us in the paths of righteousness for your name’s sake. May your Word be magnified and your Kingdom multiplied. Let your righteousness prevail in our own lives, and in our land, for your glory. This we ask in Jesus’ name, amen.
