Thousands of demonstrators, many shouting ‘Not my president’, took to the streets of several US cities protesting against Donald Trump’s election. They burned orange-haired effigies of the businessman. Pray for a smooth presidential handover and for unity and helpful attitudes to replace divided, aggressive attitudes. Brian Johnson, worship leader at Bethel Church and writer of 'One Thing Remains', tweeted, ‘We pray that our president-elect feels the weight of responsibility and responds with respect, dignity, honour, and wisdom’. The financial world knows very little about Trump’s policies and could reflect that with instability. Pray for global steadiness and wisdom for those dealing with uncertainties. There was a specific Jewish component to this election; some voters are reassessing their view of what it is to be Jewish in the USA as anti-Semitism was unleashed by Trump followers. Across the nations people are also concerned about Trump's comments denigrating NATO and his calls for nuclear proliferation. See also
