President Donald Trump needs \u201cwisdom and strength from God\u201d in making decisions on global affairs, Christian evangelist Franklin Graham said on Friday, asking Americans to join him in prayer for the commander-in-chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWill you join me in lifting up President @realDonaldTrump in prayer?\u201d Graham urged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom our earthly view, we see ominous storm clouds gathered around the globe,\u201d he said, laying out several global conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Iran and Israel engaged in war, Russia and Ukraine in continued deadly conflict, China imposing an imminent threat to Taiwan, war in Sudan, and more, it seems as though the whole world is on the brink of fracturing,\u201d Graham said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur President needs wisdom and strength from God. The decisions he is called upon to make will affect each one of us, our country, and the entire world. I pray that God will direct his steps as he leads our nation through the most turbulent times we have experienced in decades,\u201d he continued. He concluded by quoting a Bible verse, Matthew 24:7: \u201cThe Bible tells us, \u2018For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His call for prayer follows his similar message on Wednesday, asking Americans to unite in prayer for the innocent individuals affected as the war between Iran and Israel continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026Please pray for innocent people caught in the bombings and missile attacks. May God\u2018s protection be on the churches and the Christians in Iran and may He protect the Jewish people\u2014God\u2019s chosen people\u2014of Israel,\u201d he said. \u201cMy prayer is that the eyes of all who live in these countries will be opened to the truth of God\u2018s Word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His calls for prayer come as President Donald Trump weighs involvement in the conflict between Iran and Israel. Trump made it clear this week that Iran has the next two weeks to negotiate with the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegarding the situation in Iran, I know there has been a lot of speculation amongst all of you in the media regarding the president\u2019s decision-making and whether or not the United States will be directly involved,\u201d White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn light of that news, I have a message directly from the President \u2026 \u2018Based on the fact that there\u2019s a substantial chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
