Praying for President Trump: A Call to Spiritual Warfare and Guidance
An Iowa man approached President Donald Trump at a restaurant in Des Moines and asked if he could pray for him before the president's speech on the economy. Trump welcomed the prayer and the man prayed for wisdom, discernment, health, peace, and protection for the president. After the prayer, Trump thanked the man and praised the people of Iowa.
The man's prayer referenced spiritual warfare and the apostle Paul's words about the ongoing battle against evil forces. Many Christian leaders have called for prayers for President Trump and the nation, especially in light of critical decisions and civil unrest. Evangelist Franklin Graham and Dutch Sheets have urged Americans to pray for Trump's guidance and protection.
Dutch Sheets also invoked the historical "Big Ben Minute" prayer tradition during World War II and prayed for God's protection over Trump and his administration. He asked for wisdom for Trump and a movement of freedom for America and the world. Let us join in prayer for Trump and the nation, trusting in God's will to be done.
