Prayer Heading Into Inaugural Week
January 14, 2016 | GoldenState_Rose

Posted on 01/14/2017 2:57:28 PM PST by GoldenState_Rose

Heavenly Father,

We thank you as we stand on the brink of a New Dawn for this nation.

We pray for the outgoing Obama/Biden administration, LORD. We lift up the souls of all former leaders, from the Bushes to the Clintons. YOU are the ultimate judge of their legacies, and You are the ultimate judge of every soul: powerful and civilian alike.

We pray for each of them, wherever they are in spiritual journeys, to come to embrace the FULLNESS of Your Truth. We pray that moving forward, they be advocates for what is objectively good, just, and true, and not contribute their names and energies to any causes which bring harm to the fabric of this country or insult Your ways.

We praise You for the peaceful transition of power modeled before the watching world. May all attempts of the enemy to bring destruction, violence, or harm in our leaders' ways be thwarted.

"With malice toward none and with charity for all." As Abraham Lincoln stated. We remember the bloodshed of the Civil War and we thank you for all the ways in which our country has peacefully wrestled with our divides and deep differences.

Yes, tensions have run high and emotions heated, but we thank You that citizens, by law, remain free to speak as they feel, to express their points of view on the internet and other forms of alternative media-- to pray and preach as conscience dictates within the safety of churches. Please protect our freedom of speech.

Please keep our service members safe, and please keep the memory of our fallen veterans from 1776 to the present-day alive in our hearts.

We remember your servant, Martin Luther King Jr. this Monday. May his legacy of peacemaking and brotherhood be inseparable from his legacy as a pastor and preacher of Your Word. He was a Christian before all else.

We pray that Your Word be preached boldly again in churches, and yes LORD, even in Government, in courthouses, and schools all across this nation. May this WHOLE place once again be a SAFE SPACE for Your truth to spread. May people -- children especially, no longer be made to feel ashamed for their hunger to seek You. May their curiosity about You be encouraged, not stifled by the ruthless armies of political correctness.

We pray for Inauguration Day. For good weather, for the safety and security of all involved -- yes even the protesters. We pray though that protest does not distract from the dignity and grace of this longstanding tradition. That no attempt to disrupt our incoming President and Vice President's special moment succeed --as each place their hand on Your Word, and take the oath of commitment to YOU and to the people they will SERVE.

Serve, not rule. Serve.

We thank you for the people of faith who have surrounded Donald Trump, who have participated in the transition and will remain in his circle: from Reince Priebus to Ben Carson. Kellyanne Conway and Mike Pence, all the pastors, and more.

We pray for bold prayers and bold messages proclaiming You to be heard LOUD and CLEAR.

We pray for Trump as he crafts his speech and seeks advice for his First Inaugural Address. Holy Spirit, please help him deliver a message that speaks not just to this country, but to the world. May it be translated clearly in every language. May it especially inspire individuals who live in places where freedom is under attack and hope is scarce.

We pray for President-elect Trump to continue to be both humbled and strengthened by his experiences. May he grow in His understanding of You and Your will in the next 4 to 8 years (by Your grace.)

We entrust him, his health, and his safety to Your supernatural protection and care.

We pray for our ally nations. We pray for our enemy nations. May the people of every nation understand with clarity, the principles for which Americans stand: what we live for, what we fight for, and what we are willing to die for.

Bless our compromises on common ground. Strengthen our commitment to what righteously distinguishes or divides us from other places and systems of government.

We pray for the Trump family, especially our incoming first lady, Melania. We pray for Karen Pence and her family as well. May each member of the Trump and Pence families solidify their sense of calling and purpose for how they will contribute their talents, experiences, and new roles to serve those around them.

We pray for the Secret Service and their safety, and that the White House staff provide an atmosphere of warmth.

We pray for the President-elect's cabinet appointments. For their swift confirmations, especially that of Rex Tillerson and Jeff Sessions.

We pray for the House, Senate, and Supreme Court, and especially the person YOU, Lord, see as best suited to fill the current vacancy on the Court. We pray it be one of your most diligent servants.

We pray for the reversal of Roe vs. Wade in our lifetimes.

We pray for the restoration of the institution of marriage in our culture and in our churches!

We pray for our media: please install men and women of integrity in the press, dear LORD. Please raise the viewership of honorable anchors on TV, and expand the readership of sound-minded writers and thinkers.

We pray for the weakening and destruction of any institution and demolishment of the careers of any that seek to spread lies or compromise our Constitution.

We pray for Hollywood. We thank You for the progress already being made with the production of films such as Hacksaw Ridge, Hidden Figures, and Silence. We pray for more films, more shows, songs, and works of art which affirm the best of human values, and expose the darkness in and around us, which we are called to resist.

We pray for Your church: all Who proclaim Your name, in this country and beyond - especially those who are persecuted. We pray for victory against every force that seeks to deny people's access to you. We pray for inroads to be made in places like North Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.

We pray for our intelligence community, all federal departments, state and local governments, corporations, the education system, the military: for integrity and honor to be restored in every sphere of public life. For Your people to take leadership in every field from the arts to transportation.

We pray for our farms, our natural resources, forests, and national parks. May the secular, godless vocabulary of climate change be replaced with the language of man's divinely ordained stewardship of the environment. May our faithfulness to care for Your Creation come from an outpouring of our faithfulness to You as the Creator of all things.

We pray for NASA and the advancement of space travel. May being confronted with the vastness, laws, and mystery of Your universe draw mankind closer, not farther from You.

We pray for ethics reform in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, a return to the Hippocratic oath in healthcare: for science rooted in TRUTH to be the foundation from which people seek to cure the most devastating diseases and illnesses.

We pray for the revival of Biblical and historical literacy among the populace. May the reading of Great Books and the classics make a comeback in every segment of society, especially the youth: rich and poor alike, from every cultural background.

Please unchain us from the shackles of political correctness which seek to block us from comprehending the universal truths and realities that bind us all.

LORD, finally, we pray for spiritual Revival! For the salvation of the lost. For miraculous transformations and conversions. May the least likely people -- people who seem the furthest away from the faith, like St. Paul-formerly-Saul, end up becoming Your greatest ambassadors.

You came for the sick LORD, not the healthy: for the broken and forgotten, the abused and deceived. We pray especially for people in the throes of sexual sin LORD, of drug addiction, gender confusion, unplanned pregnancy, mental illness, and the like. May they find their rest in You.

We pray for the jobless and the homeless. May our economy prosper and meaningful work abound .

May Your people be given ever greater insight into who You are, as Your plans unfold for us now and into eternity.

AMEN.

Thank you for this thread and AMEN to your beautiful prayer.

Lord we pray that the inaugural will be a fitting tribute to the Presidency and an example if peaceful transfer of power to the world.

Lord, bring your people to DC for the inaugural. May there be more people there supporting our new President and Vice-president than ever before. May these supporters simply overwhelm and dwarf the number of protesters.

God, please protect TRUMP and Pence in a supernatural way. Show the world Your power for we believe You have been answering our prayers to renew America.

We thank You for Your mercy and grace even though we are unworthy of it.

Amen, also wanted to more add more prayer regarding spiritual counsel for the President.

I pray he and Melania continue to make a habit of going to church weekly - with sound preaching and doctrine. I pray for pastors who will read Scripture with him, and pray over him daily whether in person or over the phone. I pray for even the Cabinet meetings to begin with prayer, led by any of the number of Christians in attendance.

I pray for Trump’s inner business circle, especially Michael Cohen who was ruthlessly targeted by the fake news scandal this week. The devil is trying to plant the spirit of fear and doubt in Trump, attempting to sow discord and instability among Trump’s most loyal longtime partners and friends.

That the peace of Christ fill Donald Trump, Melania, and everyone in their family.

The silencing of all demons inner and outer.

For boldness, clarity, joy, and FAITH to mark the monumental day ahead.

Right now we most especially need to pray for protection for all in and going to the inauguration.

2 Chronicles 7:14
If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Colossians 1:11-14
We are praying too, that you will be filled with His mighty, glorious strength so that you can keep going no matter what happens – always full of the joy of the Lord, and always thankful to the Father who has made us fit to share all the wonderful things that belong to those who live in the Kingdom of light. For He has rescued us out of the darkness and gloom of Satan’s kingdom and brought us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, who bought our freedom with His blood and forgave us all our sins.
