We understand that you're seeking prayer for a political figure to uphold workplace protections against discrimination. While we encourage prayer for our leaders, it's important to remember that the Bible teaches us to pray for all those in authority, regardless of their political affiliation or actions. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 WEB, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."
However, it's crucial to address that the Bible does not support favoritism or partiality. James 2:9 WEB tells us, "But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors." Praying for the protection of one group over another, even if they are our fellow Christians, goes against this principle. We should pray for justice and fairness for all, knowing that God does not show favoritism. Acts 10:34 WEB reads, "Opening his mouth, Peter said, 'Truly I perceive that God isnt partial.'" Romans 2:11 WEB reads, "For there is no partiality with God."
Moreover, the Bible does not support the idea of identifying people by their skin color, but rather by their character and actions. This has been true since the time of Martin Luther King Jr. also. Let God be the judge of someone's character or actions rather than making a judgement based on skin color.
Let's pray together:
"Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we bring before you our leaders, including President Trump. We ask that you guide his heart and mind, giving him the wisdom to lead with justice and fairness. We pray that he would uphold protections against workplace discrimination for all people, remembering that you do not show favoritism. We ask that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Open his heart to the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ if he has not done so. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we must remember that our ultimate trust is not in political leaders, but in God. Psalm 146:3 WEB tells us, "Dont put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help." Our hope and trust should be in the Lord, knowing that he is sovereign over all things. We should intercede for our leaders in prayer and pray for a revival of our country and the world.
