As always and particularly in the face of this affliction, we pray for The President of the United States, his loved ones, and those in whose care he has been entrusted for a quick and complete recovery in accordance with the will of God.

Scripture has spoken to this at 1 Timothy 2:1-2, where Paul wrote: “First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.” [New American Standard Bible]
