Here are some guidelines for praying for the nation's president:
The President
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.
