How I best Pray for our President.... and Nation

He IS my President. HE is there by the grace of God (Grace as in Graces).  I certainly wish we could have done better.  There is a place however for those so otherwise graced to take the blinders from those, even if it's painful, to see what and who he is as he acts.  I pray for him, probably not as often as I should. 

Most recently I had these prayer components:   
  • Safety for him and his family, anything happening to him would be crisis of a great degree,  
  • His hand turned from evil,  
  • Supernatural wisdom or supernatural restraint from doing damage to those he is over,  Divine correction or direction as he leads, 
  • Boldness for those around him to speak truth, 
  • That his ears be shut to the demonic influences in his circle, 
  • That he HEAR the word of the Lord clearly and boldly spoken to him,
  • That whatever damage he does is not permanent on our nation. 

The truth is our nation needs prayer for protection, both from evil but from the agenda that he has fostered including
  • Gay Marriage,
  • Homosex openly in our military,
  • Increased abortion rights,
  • Embracing of Islam in our nation, 
  • War on free speech and religion,
  • Fostering a spirit of Violence he set upon this nation after the Trayvon Martin travesty 
  • Racial divisiveness that has split this nation right down the middle.

None of those are godly acts or decisions.  None of them should be prayed for his success in them. They are rooted in demon spirits that will be hard to get rid of.  He has fostered a great economic change for the much worse.  I cannot pray that any of these things succeed.  I can only pray that he fails completely in his quest to take us places I believe that most people who DID vote for him nearly 5 years ago never imagined we would go.  I also pray that many of them will come to the knowledge of the truth so never again will be experience such a destructive administration.

I would strongly and respectfully add 4:35 “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?”
Daniel 2:21 “And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings:…””
We Begin to pray that the next leaders of this nation walk in his ways and rule at His command now not later.
