A Prayer For Our New President

At a time filled with much pomp and circumstance during a great tradition of our country, which is the peaceful transition of power, Albert Mohler gives a prayer for our 44th President Barack Obama. I encourage you all to read and pray this prayer with me on this historic day for the United States of America.

Mohler prays:

Our Father, Lord of all creation, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: We pray today with a sense of special urgency and responsibility. We come before you to pray for our new President, Barack Obama, and for all those in this new administration who now assume roles of such high responsibility.

We know that you and you alone are sovereign; that you rule over all, and that you alone are able to keep and defend us. We know that our times are in your hands, and that "the king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord" [Proverbs 21:1]. Our confidence is in you and in you alone. We come before you as a people who acknowledge our constant need for your provision, wisdom, and protection.
