Prayer Countdown until the Presidential Inauguration

Updated December 1, 2024

Lord, based on 1 Timothy 2:1-4, we pray for godly leadership in our nation and states, on behalf of all, so we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity; and so we may raise up our children in the ways of the Lord; and so we may freely preach the Gospel of the Kingdom within this nation, and to the nations of the world. We pray for righteous government over our nation and states, so they not only do not interfere with the living and teaching of Christianity, but that they encourage it.

We thank You, Lord, for our nation—the United States of America—and our individual states, and ask You to bless us for Your intended use (Luke 9:16 AMPC). We offer our prayers, our votes, and our lives to You, Lord. Make it enough, make it more than enough (Ephesians 3:20). Multiply righteousness in this nation, and our states, to bring Your kingdom plans for us to pass. Lord Jesus, rule over us.

Elections: Lord, we ask for Your righteous integrity in all of our elections, at all levels. Raise up godly people to watch over and guard our election integrity. Give them wisdom and resources to do this. We ask for laws, systems, and procedures to be put in place to protect the integrity of our elections by 2026. We ask that all those involved in, or attempting to, commit fraud in any election to prevent the righteous leaders You have chosen from being elected, be exposed, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced according to Your righteous judgment, showing mercy where You deem fit. Let it be a deterrent against any fraud. We prohibit all election interference—foreign, domestic, and spiritual. 

We ask that the counting process of each vote, each precinct, and the certification process of each state, as well as the official congressional count and certification of the electoral votes, be properly done according to the Constitution and righteous laws of the land. That the Electoral College remain strongly in place in the United States elections. That any effort to destroy or weaken the electoral college (NPV, RCV, etc.) is not implemented and has no effect on our elections. Hand pick our electors, Lord, and remove anyone who opposes Your will in any election, or who is subject to bribe or threats, and replace them with honest and courageous people who will do Your will. Let all inaugurations and transfer of power to the righteous leaders of the land, be peaceful.

Executive Branch: President Trump: Lord, we ask for the most righteous administration ever—a government after Your own heart (1 Samuel 13:14; 1 Samuel 16:12-13). We ask that You give President Trump, his entire administration, and executive branch wisdom and surround them all with wise, godly people. Give them discernment and break any and all unholy alliances throughout the executive branches of the U.S. and state governments and staff. Let the fear of the Lord, true encounters with Jesus, and revival come upon the entire executive branch of our nation and states. We prohibit any involvement of the enemy in our governments—foreign, domestic, or spiritual. And we declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).

Let the work of righteousness on behalf of this nation and our states exceed our expectations, accomplishing all that God has set before us to do. Let all those with evil intent be exposed and rooted out; any wicked, traitors, or spies be removed; and let those who are godly, honest, people of integrity move into leadership positions in our governments in Jesus’ Name. 

D.O.G.E.: Lord, we pray over the Department of Governmental Efficiency—Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. That they do the job You have set before them to do, making all of the cuts, rearrangements, and decrease in the size, expense, and power of the U.S. Government as You see fit, and as our Founding Fathers envisioned. Give them wisdom, understanding, knowledge, clarity, courage, boldness, and discernment as needed. Let them remain honest, and free from all attempts of bribery or threats. We ask for the protection of those working in this department from all harm, opposition, obstruction, harassment, lawfare, or any of the enemy’s tactics foreign, domestic, or spiritual. We declare that this pruning of the federal government shall result in healthy and strong states in our union, enabling the Church to take their states for the Lord Jesus.

Military and Protection: We declare peace—shalom—over the United States of America. Any plans or attempts to attack, bring violence, chaos, harm, or interference of any type to interfere with God’s plan and purpose for America is forbidden in Jesus’ Name. We shall preach the Gospel within these shores. We shall raise up godly generations. We shall bring the Gospel to the nations and be evangelist to the world. Whoever shall come live here shall join us in this most noble cause. (Robert Hunt, 1607). Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13). Nations have come to our light, and here they shall have encounters with the Lord Jesus Christ (Isaiah 60:1-3, Acts 9:1-20).

Protection for President Trump: Lord, we ask for protection for President Trump, Vice-President Vance, Speaker Mike Johnson (Jeremiah 15:19), their families, and staff. We forbid any and all attacks against them—foreign, domestic, or spiritual. We speak strength and healing over them and hold up their arms during any current or upcoming battles (Exodus 17:11-12).

· We forbid any legal attacks, or lawfare, against them. We prohibit false accusations. We declare every tongue that would arise in judgment against them shall be condemned, that God vindicates His servants (Isaiah 54:17).

· We forbid any witchcraft, curses or any demonic spiritual attacks against them, including false “prophecies” or other word curses. We take authority over all power of the enemy and declare that nothing will injure them (Luke 10:19).

· We forbid any physical violence or harm against them. We declare they dwell in the shelter of the Most High and trust in God who delivers them from all evil, harm, and any plague (Psalm 91). We declare that if they drink, consume, ingest, inhale, absorb, or in any way come in contact with anything harmful, it shall not hurt them, or any of the righteous in this nation (Mark 16:18).

· We forbid war of any type to occur or interfere with the will of God being done in and through the United States. This includes physical, biological, economical, or cyber attacks; as well as nuclear/EMP attacks and so on. We declare that no weapon formed against this nation will prosper (Isaiah 54:15-17).

· We forbid anything harmful or traitorous on governmental grounds. Let the White House, Capital Building, and all of the governmental buildings in D.C., as well as our State Capital buildings and cities be free from anything harmful or traitorous, spying etc. Let a clean sweep be done of the buildings and the grounds, and anything not found be neutralized.

· We forbid any sabotage, obstruction, or harassment, of any type against our righteous leaders including President Trump, Vice-President Vance, and Speaker Mike Johnson. Let the mouths and actions of those influenced by evil be silenced and stopped. Let every evil plan backfire (Psalm 94:23). We declare the Lord delivers our righteous leaders out of every affliction (Psalm 24:19) and every form of obstruction. Grant them relief from the days of adversity until a pit is dug for the wicked (Psalm 94:13).

· Let there be pursuit of those who have been traitorous against God’s righteous purposes for this nation. God, we ask that Your true enemies who have come against Your plans for this nation be revealed, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced according to Your righteous judgment, showing mercy where You deem fit.

· We declare that wisdom is justified of her children (Luke 7:35) and that it will become clear to all, even the opposers of God’s righteous leaders, that they are in fact the right choice. Deception is being shattered. Let all of our governmental leaders—federal, state, and local—walk in a teachable humility toward the Lord, with none falling prey to deception, bribery, threats, or any type of corruption. Let them stand strong, courageously, honestly, righteously for God and America.  

Legislative Branch: Senate & House of Representatives: Lord, we ask that federal and state Senate and House Majority Leaders and other influencers over federal and state legislatures, are people of integrity, wisdom, with a leadership anointing from You. We ask for righteous counsel and influence over our legislative branch. We declare that any attempt to control the Senate or House with corrupted politicians, policies, or past practices shall not prevail in Jesus’ Name. We also call for God’s choice for the Senate and House Minority Leaders to arise and take positions at the proper moment. We call for a continual majority of righteous people in our federal and state legislatures, and that they do Your bidding, governing righteously, in Jesus’ Name. We ask that all congressional staff be righteous, honest people, and that You purge out those who oppose Your will for this nation.

Judicial Branch: Supreme Court: Lord, we call in the righteous judges to come forth into our judicial system. We pray in the King’s best who have the King’s arms. We pray in these righteous judges to the U.S. Supreme Court and all of the State Supreme Courts. We call them into all federal, state, circuit, and district courts. All courts of appeal and probate courts. We declare that judgment will again be righteous (Psalm 94:15) and that any plans or attempts to illegally, fraudulently, or unethically take control of or corrupt the courts of our nation or states is forbidden in Jesus’ Name. Let there be a clean sweep of judges throughout the land.

For the Church: Lord, we ask that American citizens, especially Your people, understand the place You want us to take in government and politics. That we all pray sincerely and regularly for our nation, our government, our leaders and influencers (1 Timothy 2:1-4). We ask for Your help as we, Your people, inform ourselves on biblical standards of government, and on righteous living. We ask for Your help as we inform ourselves on the issues of the day, the responsibilities and limitations of U.S. governmental positions, and the positions of our elected (and unelected) officials and candidates—federal, state, and local. Guide us as we learn, not only Your Word—the Bible—but our U.S. Constitution and the biblical standards of government that are set in place in our nation, and that we want to keep in place. Remind us, and help us, to teach others, especially our children and grandchildren so we remain one nation under God—the United States of America. 

We occupy this moment; we saturate it in prayer and hold it in place for Your will to be done. We hold back the enemy’s plans. We occupy ourselves with Your business and keep ourselves from distractions. We will not be idle or speak idle words that are not in agreement with You, and therefore not backed by Your power (Matthew 12:36-37 AMPC). We plead the blood of Jesus over our nation, our government, our states, our local communities, churches, schools, and families.  

We rally for King Jesus. We want His rule over us. We thank You for this opportunity to remain free to preach and teach the Word of God, and to live out our faith publicly in every area (Proverbs 29:2 AMPC). We ask that the Church learn to conference with the Holy Spirit to pattern our gatherings with His strategy, and that we are prepared for the influx of people coming into our churches. Let our church gatherings attract all people. Let the Church bring unity to the nation under Jesus. Let us not compromise to please anyone, but welcome all with the love of the Father, with grace and truth, with the Holy Spirit presence and power. 

Lord, we know that our nation must be righteous in order to maintain a righteous government. We ask for revival. We ask for it to start in the Church, among Your people. We come out from among worldly thinking and deceptive lures of the flesh and separate ourselves as holy, unto You (2 Corinthians 6:17). We present ourselves to You as a holy and living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). We yearn for You, for Your presence. We ask for laborers for the harvest (Luke 10:2). We will go where You send us. We ask for boldness to preach Your Word with all freedom, parrésia, and for You to confirm Your Word with signs following (Acts 4:29-31, Mark 16:15-20). Grant us repentance, send us revival. Revive us and we will call upon Your name. Restore us and cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved (Psalm 80:18-19). Let the new righteous face of America appear and shine gloriously, giving glory to God! In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
