Dear God,
You tell us to respect those in authority because there is no authority that you have not established. By respecting the country and its leaders, I respect you. Help me to know how to respect those leaders, including President Trump, in a way that is truly honoring to you. Opposing him in all that is evil, supporting him in all that is good. Help him to listen to the concerns of his people. Help him to listen to the concerns of those with more experience, those who have more information. Keep him from acting in hatred, or with vindictiveness. Protect all those who are in danger. Be a shield around the refugees seeking shelter, seeking hope. Let us all grow to be more and more like Jesus, and allow us to be your hands and feet of mercy and compassion in this world.
In your mercy, hear my prayer.
Amen
