A Prayer for Presidents’ Day 
 Dear God, You have appointed governments and leaders according to Your goodwill. You uphold societies through these leaders, and our nation is better for their service. We honor the presidents who served our country throughout the ages. Today, we ask you to give wisdom and confidence to those currently in office, so that they can govern justly and in a Godly manner. Continue to bless our nation and help us all to be good citizens.
