Day 5 of prayer

Dear God,

Matthew 5:5 tells us that it is the meek that are blessed, for they will inherit the earth.

It is not those who have power and wield it who will inherit the earth.  Rather, it is the humble and gentle, those who understand that those who recognize their poverty before God, those that mourn over their sin and shortcomings and who turn to God for their comfort, who realize that they are nothing with God, who will inherit the earth.

Give Donald Trump humility and gentleness.  He is in a position where power is worshiped, where power is wielded like a club.  He knows well how to play the games of power.

Please work in his heart to give him humility and meekness.  Help him to realize that, even though "meek" may rhyme with "weak", meekness is not weakness.  Meekness does not mean being a doormat.  Rather, it is realizing that in and of yourself, you do not have what you need to conquer sin and to live righteously.

Please work in Donald Trump's life to give him meekness.

I ask this in the name of Jesus.  Amen.

Just my .04, adjusted for inflation.
