Dear Father, in Jesus' name I lift up our president to you. I know that our leader's heart is in Your hand, so I ask you to guide the head of our nation in the way You would have him to go.

Father, I pray that You would surround our president with wise counsel—men and women of integrity who place Your agenda and the good of this nation above their own and whose motives are for that which is right.

I pray that You would give our leader discernment, understanding and knowledge so that our nation may know stability internally and abroad.

I give thanks for our president according to Your Word and thank You for working in and through his leadership so that we might lead peaceable lives in godliness and honesty.
