Bless Our President

Almighty God, on this the day of our President's  Inauguration, we recall how the great kings and great rulers throughout history, always looked to You for guidance, wisdom and strength in their leadership of their countries.  Be with our president Barack Obama, as he starts his second term as President of the United States that he might look to You as the true ruler of our country and of the world.  Bless our President with the wisdom You gave unto king Solomon so many centuries ago, that he might face all the enormous decisions that are before him and our nation and world.  May he lead us in the way of Peace.  May we follow his leading and through our prayers help him to be faithful to the Ruler of the Universe!  Bless our nation, also we pray, that we might continue to be a light to the other nations of the world, and that we neveer use our military power for our own gain, but only as a means to preserve Peace among all peoples.  We are in your Hands, O God, use us in the upbuilding of Your Kingdom on earth.  In Jesus' Name we do pray.  Amen.
