Ephesians 3:14-21 (ESV)
Prayer for Spiritual Strength
14 For
this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
15 from
whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth is named,
16 that
according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power
through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and
grounded in love,
18 may
have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length
and height and depth,
19 and to
know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with
all the fullness of God.
20 Now to
him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us,
21 to him
be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever
and ever. Amen.

A Prayer for President Donald J. Trump
Almighty God, you are the ruler of nations.
And in your Providence you guide the course of world events.
In your wisdom you have
established civil authority.
And have given us the
freedom to elect our leaders.
Your Son, who is King
of Kings and Lord of Lords,
Has instructed us to
“give to Caesar what is Caesar’s And to give to God what is God’s”.
Your Word, furthermore,
instructs us to pray for all in authority,
That we may lead
peaceful and tranquil lives In all godliness and devotion.
We ask you, therefore,
to bless and protect all who govern us.
We pray not only that
they will walk in the way of salvation,
But that their
decisions and policies May protect us, our nation, our families, and our
future.
In particular, bless
our duly-elected President, Donald J. Trump. Give him holy wisdom,
Surround him with your
angels of protection,
And provide him the
strength to carry out his duties each day.
Enable him to fulfill
his oath
To preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the United States. Grant that by his decisions,
He may protect our nation from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Thank you for
all the good you have accomplished through his service.
Confirm him in his
intention
To eliminate corruption
from the seat of power in Washington DC,
To secure the borders
and strengthen the military of our nation,
To frustrate those who
plan terrorist attacks on our homeland,
To foster law and order
in our communities,
To protect our citizens
from the current pandemic,
To restore and
strengthen our economy,
To promote honesty and
fairness in our trade agreements,
To appoint to our
courts judges who will faithfully apply our Constitution and laws as they are
written,
To defend the lives of
the unborn from the violence of abortion,
To improve our
healthcare system,
To properly care for
our veterans,
To defend the sacred
heritage and safety of Israel, and the good of all our allies, and To promote
and defend the freedom of all citizens in the United States and throughout the
world to live according to their religious beliefs. Lord, send your Spirit to
our President,
That he may glorify you
in every success,
And find consolation
from you in every sorrow. Protect his family,
Guide his advisors,
And enable his
Administration to accomplish today Those things that will secure the physical
and moral strength of our nation
For our children and
grandchildren. Father, we trust in Your Providence,
Which from its Founding
has guided and blessed The United States of America. Grant that this trust may
grow and be rewarded
As we live our calling
To be good citizens on
earth And faithful citizens of your heavenly Kingdom. We pray through Christ
our Lord.
Amen.
