We humbly ask Your blessing and favor upon our nation's leader tonight.
In ways of wisdom, lead and direct him.
Grant that he may be given special understanding and insight.
We can't win against this evil without a great leader and, Lord, it is too great
an evil for him to stand alone and bear all the burden. Grant Thy blessing
of good health and stamina, deep understanding,
and commitment of his Personnel.
When all is said and done, may men be free; the name of Jesus lifted to
those who've never heard. May Your Kingdom increase and
may we praise Your name for Your very present help in time
of trouble. No weapon formed against You shall stand!
May Your name be reverenced among men and women who never understood
before. May the sands become a Baptismal place. May thousands
learn the truth that sets them free.
Use our leader and our nation to free men and women oppressed in darkness.
Grant these favors, we pray, in the name of Jesus,
King of kings and Lord of all. Amen
