Prayers and Bible Verses for Inauguration Day

It’s an important moment in the life of the United States of America: Inauguration Day. Held every four years on Jan. 20 (or Jan. 21, if Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday), the event is the day when the president-elect and vice-president-elect are sworn in and take office. Held on the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol, the two will formally take their oaths of office, and then the newly sworn-in president will offer his inaugural address. The president-elect recites the following oath in accordance with Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” This year’s Inauguration Day is the second for President Donald Trump, who was the 45th president and will be sworn-in as the nation’s 47th president. This year’s inauguration falls on the same day as the observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. After the ceremony, the president will go on a ceremonial parade down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House. As we prepare for this historic moment, here are six prayers and Bible verses we can all say to cover Inauguration Day in God's blessing and care. #InaugurationDay #PrayForUSA #PresidentialInauguration #LeadershipPrayer #MLKDay #FaithInAmerica #PoliticalTransition #NationalUnity #BibleVersesForLeaders #GodBlessAmerica
