"Use Him for Your Kingdom's Sake": This Powerful Prayer Over President Trump Brought Democrats and Republicans Together - CBN News

At the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, event co-chairs Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) joined together in a rare moment of unity in Washington to pray over President Donald Trump.

"Father, thank you for the way that you provide for us," Lankford began. "We pray that You would pour Your overwhelming blessing and wisdom on the president, on the vice president, his cabinet and his team. We pray that You would energize him, that You would give him wise counsel.

"In quiet moments, we pray that You would guide him in the way to go as he leads our nation," he continued. "Give him the insight that he needs. Give him joy in the task. And use him for Your Kingdom's sake and for our nation and the world's sake. In the name of Jesus I ask."

Coons then prayed, "Heavenly Father we pray for all who are in positions of responsibility and authority, and all who seek a closer relationship with You. This morning we especially pray for President Trump and we ask that Your wisdom, Your blessing, and Your peace would be upon him and his family as they serve us, and that today You would touch his heart and all who have been with us here this morning at this National Prayer Breakfast. In Jesus' name we pray, amen."

- Almighty God, we plead an impassioned prayer that all the prayers of the rightous will be offered in the spirit of unity, as was done at the National Prayer Breakfast. In the Name of Jesus we pray, amen.

- "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." (Psalm 133)
