Pray for The President of the United States

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions,that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior,who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4)


In no uncertain terms, the Lord calls us to pray for our leaders. This is because no one person or group of people can change a country or get it back on track. And when we consider how our fellow Americans are suffering because of the downturn of the economy, rising unemployment, the deterioration of family, and escalating conflicts on the world stage, we quickly realize that only almighty God can truly help us.

In our Night of Prayer we dedicated an entire hour to praying for our President, Federal, Local and State Government as well as World Leaders. Our nation urgently needs our intercession. Today our President will address the nation concerning Syria. We do not know what the future holds but we can be confident that the Father honors the prayers of those who love Him and is faithful to answer us. And as we lift our nation up in prayer, I know we can make a difference regardless of how difficult our problems may be because we are taking the burdens of our country to the One who understands the way to victory.

So please join me in lifting up the United States and its leaders to the Lord, confidently knowing He will move on our behalf. Certainly, our loving Father will hear our prayers and heal our land (2 Chr. 7:14).

Enter into Intercessory Prayer For Our President 

Dear Lord, We pray that You forgive the president for any un-forgiveness and that he will realize his personal sinfulness and his daily need for cleansing of his sin by You Lord. I ask Lord, that he would realize his personal inadequacy to fulfill his task and he be dependent upon You for wisdom, knowledge, and the courage to do what he knows to be right (1Timothy 2:2). We pray Lord that he would reject all counsel that violates Christian spiritual principles and that he would trust God to prove him right (Proverbs 4:5). We pray Lord, that he would resist those who would pressure him to violate his conscience and that by Your power, We ask You, Lord that he would be ready to forsake his personal ambition and political causes, if to do so would be for the good of the country (Proverbs 14:34). Lord, help him to rely upon prayer and the Word of God for his source of strength, courage, and wisdom for decisions in his daily walk (Daniel 2:21). Heavenly Father please restore dignity, honor, trustworthiness, and righteousness to the office of the Presidency of the United States of America and help him to remember to be a good example in his personal conduct for the fathers and sons of this nation to follow (Proverbs 13:10). Lord please guide him and let him listen with his heart and soul to those whom You have appointed to know the truth concerning Syria. Heavenly Father, we ask that You will remain the most important influence of our Presidents life and in his decisions regarding the leadership of our country. That he will love and practice mercy and justice that he will praise and adore You God. That he will act wisely, that he will live a life of integrity both in public and in private (Proverbs 21:1). That he will sense and know the presence of God in his life and that he will hate what is evil (Ephesians 1:9). 

We ask, Lord Jesus, that he will not tolerate compromise in his life or in those who surround him. That he will keep his heart right with God and man that he would repent of sin and fight against it and that he will hate and avoid pride, evil talk, and slander (Proverbs 8:13). That he will appoint blameless and efficient men and women to positions of authority and that he will maintain blameless and godly standards, that lies and deceit would be unacceptable to him. Please Father, guide his path and help him not to falter and that he would labor with all his strength to eradicate ungodly, immoral laws; and that he would labor with all his strength to build a righteous foundation for this nation (Proverbs 5:1). Lead him, Lord Jesus, to be reminded daily that he is accountable to Almighty God for his position, and for the way he handles himself, for the decisions he makes will influence not only the present day, but also the future of the world. We ask You Lord to destroy all witchcraft prayers, their powers and effects off of the President. We ask You Lord to abide with him, to always hear Your Voice, in Jesus Name we pray,  Amen.
