The following prayer, I prayed four years ago with the exception that today I changed the names, changed a scenario in paragraph 3, added paragraph 4, and slightly modified other parts, but it is generally the same prayer.
"Father and my King
This is your world, and you do with it as you please. You’re the King of Presidents and the true director of all nations. A man can’t become president, or pastor, or prime minister, or plumber, without your consent. There isn’t a country or king or child or bird or insect that sustains itself. You work all things according to your plans, and no human plan can stand apart from you.
We bless you for allowing Joe Biden to be elected as President of the United States. We know that he wasn’t ultimately elected by Democrats or Republicans, but by You. So we trust you. You knew exactly what you were doing.
Lord, our greatest desire is not that the economy would be righted, or that health care would be solved, or COVID will be cured. We want to see you glorified in whatever way you choose. Glorify yourself through Joe Biden. We pray that four years from now more people would know and love you because Joe Biden was in office.
God, you call our nation to protect the defenseless and to oppose the tyrant. God, convict our nation and new President of the horrors of abortion, as it attacks the most oppressed and defenseless among us. God, call us back to the principles found in the Bible including love for life, a love for how you created us, and a love for all people as we are created in God's image. God, please protect our religious freedoms, but if not then let us serve you above all else. Help the church to stand firm on Biblical truths even as many of them are maligned in the culture. Let us be at peace with our government, pray for our government, love our government, but always dedicated to you first.
We pray that you would draw Joe Biden to yourself. Open his eyes to see the glories of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Press Your hand upon him. Allow him to feel the fragility of this country and the emptiness of his own spiritual condition.
Your word tells us that you control his heart like a waterway. Please cause him to enact godly laws, laws that will promote the spread of your gospel. Breathe into him a love for human life, a heart that moves with compassion for the needy, and a deep sense of Your justice.
Above all else, use Joe Biden as a channel for Your kingdom.
In Jesus name, amen."
