In a few days Donald Trump will take the oath of office and once again be installed as President of the United States of America. These are difficult times, and some of our problems seem almost insuperable. Trump appears to have assembled a magnificent team to assist him in his work, but time alone will determine whether he and they achieve their goals. I hope that the political opposition will not sabotage their efforts.

All true patriots should pray for successful administration.

We should also pray for Trump’s safety. The verbal and legal assaults on him have been unrelenting, and there have been two attempts on his life.  If his enemies should succeed in killing him, I fear that the nation would descend into utter chaos.

Dear Lord, protect us, and bless our nation with peace, prosperity, and brotherhood.
