“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Today, America will witness the 60th Inaugural ceremony in our nation’s history. According to the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, the theme of this Inauguration Day is “Our Enduring Democracy: A Constitutional Promise.”
At noon, JD Vance will be sworn in as the new Vice President, and Donald Trump will follow as he will be sworn in as the new President of the United States. Following the swearing-in ceremonies, the 47th President of the United States, President Trump will deliver the Inaugural address.
After the inaugural address, the day will be full and will continue with special events that have been held by the President. Some of these events include the President’s Room Signing Ceremony, the Inaugural Luncheon at Statuary Hall, the Review of the Troops, the Presidential Parade and Reception, and Inaugural Balls.
As Trump officially takes the oath of office and begins his second Presidential term let us remember our Biblical command to pray for him. There is no doubt that in this second term as President, Trump will face extremely complex situations and difficult decisions. He truly needs the wisdom of God to lead effectively as he guides our great nation in this current climate of difficulty both nationally and worldwide.
LET US PRAY…
Father, we thank You for the privilege of being able to vote for our leaders. Lord, as President Trump takes the oath of office today, we pray that You will give him Your wisdom as he leads our nation. Father, we pray for all who are in high positions so that we “may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Every “Let Us Pray” devotional throughout this year’s legislative session will have the names of those in authority here in Kentucky so that we may fulfill our God-given command to pray for our governing leaders.
