Inviting God’s Wisdom into Our Nation’s New Chapter

Jan 19, 2025

As we approach the inauguration of President Trump and the transition of power, let us lift our hearts in prayer for the future of this nation. Our country stands at a pivotal moment, and we must seek God’s guidance, wisdom, and peace. We pray for our nation’s leaders to seek God’s will in all decisions and that the spirit of unity prevails over division. May God grant them the strength and humility to govern justly, serve with integrity, and pursue the common good of all citizens. We pray for the hearts of the people to be healed and for the nation to experience revival marked by a return to the values that have long shaped us as a people.

We acknowledge that God is the ultimate authority over all rulers and leaders. In this time of transition, let us be mindful of the words of 1 Timothy 2:1-2, which instructs us to pray “for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” We trust that God will lead the nation according to His divine plan and use this moment to draw people to Himself. Let us remain vigilant in prayer, knowing that the power of God is greater than any earthly authority, and He will ultimately prevail.

Your Call to Action

Commit to praying earnestly for our nation and its leaders. Each day, take a moment to lift up President Trump, those in positions of authority, and all who influence the direction of our country. Pray for wisdom, unity, and peace to prevail and for God’s guidance to lead them in every decision. Encourage others to join in prayer, recognizing that when we come together as a united people in faith, God hears our cries and works in powerful ways to shape the future of our land. Let prayer be our response to the challenges and opportunities ahead.

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:1-1).

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).

Prayer

Lord, thank you for being Sovereign over our lives. You are the author and finisher of our faith. We humbly ask for Your mighty hand to be upon the inauguration and transition of power tomorrow. Protect every person there. Please place your angels around them as a hedge of protection. Give President Trump and the people protecting and advising him the spirit of discernment in this time. Send Your Holy Spirit into every conversation and fill them with the wisdom and clarity they need to keep people safe. We pray for protection and an outpouring of divine favor as President Trump leads the nation in the days, months, and years ahead. We ask that You bring peace and stability to our land and that Your will be done through every decision made. As we look ahead to the coming days, may our hearts remain steadfast in prayer, trusting in Your sovereignty and goodness. May Your name be glorified in all things, and may we, as a nation, seek Your face with humility and reverence. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.

A Comforting Closure

May we continue to lift up our nation in prayer, trusting that God’s perfect will and guidance will lead us toward peace, unity, and a future rooted in His truth.
