1 Timothy 2 (Paul says)
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

There was a time that I would have thought, "How can I do that?"
But now I find God has given me an heart to pray for those who are in authority.
And I am doing that. Not just for those in authority in USA but also other leaders in this world.
It shocks me! but that is what is going on. And I sincerely encourage you to do this also! Because that is what the Bible tells us and we should always conform ourselves to Bible.

If you think you can't do this, then I suggest you pray over yourselves.
Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
I often pray this over myself! "Please create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me over that person."
(We know when our spirit is not right ... and we see how God will give us a right spirit when we pray. I often pray this over myself and instantly God cleanses me and gives me a right spirit .)

God always does that for me when I ask HIM.
For several months God has been changing my heart over Donald Trump.
I want to conform myself to what I see in Bible for I know that is the right way to live.
I know my heart has been changed by God concerning Mr. Trump. And I really believe it is the right thing to do to pray for those in positions of authority just as Paul told us in I Timothy 2:1-4 ... and I plan to do this on a regular basis.
