Prayer For The President, Vice-President, PresidentElect, VP-Elect, Advisors, Elected officials, Senate, House of Representatives

The President, Vice-President, President Elect, VPElect, Advisors, Elected officials, Senate, House of Representatives make laws and have the power to make things happen on many levels. Their decisions affect us locally, statewide, and federally. The laws that are passed can alter food safety, economy, natural environment, housing, medicine, education, entertainment, family, and so much more. I was disappointed to see the leader of the country in 2020 act in a way that

wasn’t fit for office. Manipulating, control, bullying, lying, name-calling, cursing, or violence is never okay. If you are blessed to be in a position of authority, be a good steward over it. God allowed you to be there.

Romans 13:1 (ESV) says, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”

People are looking up to you, and you must ensure that you are impacting lives positively. Major corruption was occurring during this time which eventually got exposed, such as the severity of COVID-19, vaccines, election results, scandals, and so much more. President Trump and his team tried to downplay the Coronavirus, and a recording came out revealing it months later.1 Many blamed him for the surge of the virus and deaths since he made wearing a mask a political statement. Masks are known to prevent breathing in contaminated air and protect the sinus from the splatter of foreign particles. Masses attended his campaign rallies without wearing masks or social distancing, which the Center for Disease Control warned against. President Trump disagreed with science and the facts, which later backfired as he and several others connected to him contracted COVID-19. 2

Luke 8:17 says, “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.”

• Godly wisdom

Our leaders need God’s wisdom to make the best decision. They can’t be sold out to money, fame, or other evil works. God’s wisdom is so different than earthly wisdom. What seems like a great idea in the natural may be contrary to God’s standards. When the nation is in right alignment with God, then it’s blessed.

Psalm 33:12 says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.”

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please impart godly wisdom into the leaders of the country. Allow them to seek Your counsel when they make decisions. Soften their hearts to have Your plans. You said that if any man lacks wisdom they can come to You without reproach and You will give them wisdom generously (James 1:5). “ Our leaders need God’s

wisdom to make the best decision. They can’t be sold out to money, fame, or other evil works. God’s wisdom is so different than earthly wisdom. What seems like a great idea in the natural may be contrary to God’s standards. When the nation is in right alignment with God, then it’s blessed.

Thank You for answering this prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.
