Today is the first day of the hardest four years of your life. It will take a toll on you physically, mentally and emotionally. Your work will never be done. There will always be some crisis, some world-shaping issue that needs your attention. I can’t even begin to imagine what it will be like. I can’t put myself in your shoes but I can commit to surround you with prayer.


  • I pray for wisdom to guide your decisions and the ability to discern right from wrong.
  • I pray that you will be surrounded with the counsel of wise and godly men.
  • I pray for your protection from the schemes and plans of evil men.
  • I pray for the ability to make the tough and unpopular decisions.
  • I pray that you would be able to see through the lies of those whose desire is only for their own gain.
  • I pray for your heart to be filled with a love for peace but also the strength to stand against the forces of injustice in our world.

President Obama, thank you for being willing to lead our country in this time when a strong leader is needed. I celebrate with you and the rest of our country this monumental day in our nation’s history.
