As Donald J. Trump takes the oath of office today let us pray:
Loving and gracious God: As our nation undergoes this
presidential transition, we pray: “Thy Kingdom Come.” May your Holy Spirit instill our president of
righteousness and the values and principles of your kingdom to exercise the
sacred trust of administering the nation.
Give our new president, his administration, and Congress the ability to
honor you by doing what is right, fair, and just for all citizens, especially
the poor, hungry, and marginalized. We
ask that all the people in our nation, irrespective of race, gender, ethnicity,
or religious faith be treated with dignity.
We pray for the wholeness, health, integrity, soundness, welfare,
security, prosperity, harmony, and justice of all the citizens of our nation. Help our nation develop a foreign policy that
fosters peace, justice, equality, and freedoms that can advance the
development, rights, and privileges of our global neighbors. Move our nation to provide international
leadership in the good stewardship of all the natural resources that you have
entrusted to humankind. “Now all glory
to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish
infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in
Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”
