The apostle Paul says:
I Timothy 2
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;
6 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
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;
6 Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

(I've never done this prayer for leaders of nations on a regular basis but now I believe I will be praying often for those in authority whether Kings or politicians in USA.)
Comments by Joan Boney: God has really given me an heart to do this thing. And it is what the apostle Paul tells us to do in the Bible.
I really don't want the government to do anything for me or give me anything. God does that for me. I have no need.
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Usually God brings to me the direction of change I need to make in my life even before there is a need so when the need comes I've already made an adjustment to my life so there is no need.

But I do want to go forward in a godly way in so much as I can see what is that godly way.
I know the will of God is shown in the Bible. I know that as I conform my thinking to Bible and live in those instructions given in Bible, I go in godliness. And I do belong to God, being born again and having been given by God a new heart and a new Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Who leads me and guides me in the will of God.
I want to be godly as I go forward on this earth, conforming to New Testament scripture and that shown me by God by HIS Holy Spirit.
John 14:26 (Jesus says) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in MY name, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 16:13-14 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever HE shall hear (from God), that shall HE speak: and HE will shew you things to come.
14 HE shall glorify ME: for HE shall receive of MINE, and shall shew it unto you.
14 HE shall glorify ME: for HE shall receive of MINE, and shall shew it unto you.
