Are you in awe of what the Lord is doing through President Trump to pull our nation back from the brink of destruction? If so, you have probably noticed how loudly his opponents are screaming—and how badly they want to stop him.
Pray for your fellow intercessor.
President Trump needs our prayers for his safety and protection now more than ever.
The enemy—the devil—roams the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Nevertheless, greater is He (Jesus!) who is in us than he (the enemy) who is in the world. And although Jesus taught us that the thief is trying to steal, kill, and destroy, JESUS is right here with us to give us LIFE abundant.
Therefore, we need to be praying for God’s abundant life, protection, health, and safety for the president at all times!
If you’re ready to intercede for our president, pray these ten prayer points for his safety and protection:
“Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in Jesus’ name. Lord, You are good, and Your mercy endures forever. Thank You for having mercy on our nation and giving us a president who cares about America.
Lord, we thank You for giving us a president who is learning to listen to You. We praise You for Your goodness, and for Your sovereign intervention on our behalf in this land.
Father, we lift up President Trump to You today.
And in the name of Jesus, we boldly ask the following:
- Please protect President Trump’s faith, Lord. Wherever he is with You, protect his journey with you and knowledge of You—and bring Him even closer to Jesus. Help him to love You with all his heart, and let nothing rob him of his faith in You.
- Protect his mind and heart. Even when he hears hard information or is subjected to abuse from those who hate him, help him to keep his mind stayed on You—and You will keep him in perfect peace.
- Protect his ears, and what he hears—both from You and from others—in Jesus’ name. Send President Trump all the right counselors, and deliver him from any wrong counselors. Give him Your wisdom from above, and give him great discernment with it. Let him recoil from anything that is not Your wisdom, Lord.
- Protect his health, and the health of those around him. Let the area surrounding the President, Vice President, their families, and even their staff be a disease-free zone. Let Your healing virtue flood the place where he is at all times, protecting him and those around him. We plead the blood of Jesus over President Trump’s health in every way, and we ask that the healing which Jesus purchased for him with His blood would run through President Trump’s very veins!
- Protect President Trump physically, Lord. Send Your warring angels to surround him, his family, and those close to him at all times! If any threat exists at any place, we ask and decree that neither the President, the Vice President, nor any of their family members and staff would be there. Even if You have to disrupt their schedules unexpectedly, Lord, prevent them from being in the same location with anything that would be a danger to them.
- Protect his security detail. Let all security personnel assigned to his security detail be loyal and faithful to righteousness, and make them totally immune from bribes and corruption.
- Give great wisdom and discernment to all security personnel and gatekeepers of any kind who protect the perimeter at various events and venues. Let them see everything with Your eyes. Alert them supernaturally to any threats against President Trump.
- Give his chauffeurs and pilots great wisdom to foresee any potential dangers on the roadways or in the skies, and to avoid those dangers.
- Protect his words, Lord. Let President Trump only speak words that are from You. Convict him about the importance of this, and give him a desire to be like Jesus in his words. Set a watch on his mouth and don’t let him speak out anything that he shouldn’t speak.
- Protect and bless all the righteous works of his hands. If You set him to a task, bless President Trump as he does the thing—and rebuke the devourer away from his work. Don’t let anything harm or hinder his ability to carry out every righteous task that You have called him to do.
Father, only You know the state of our president’s heart at any given time.
But, we do ask that Your precious Holy Spirit would be with President Trump, now and always:
- Instruct him and teach him in the way he should go, and guide him with Your eye upon him (per Psalm 32:8).
- Draw him to Yourself supernaturally and sovereignly, as only You can.
- Let him see the beauty of Jesus, and let him do all Your will and all Your work in the White House.
- Keep him safe from all harm, danger, malintent, and loss in every way, in Jesus’ name—and glorify Your own name in him, and in all those around him.
Thank You, Heavenly Father. It is in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen and amen!”
Friend, even when God intervenes on behalf of a nation, the people in that nation still have to keep praying. We encourage you to stay diligent and faithful in covering our president, vice president, their families, their cabinet, and our whole nation in prayer. And as we humble ourselves under God’s mighty hand, He will lift us up!
