Christianity Today | Christians Call for Prayer After Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Instructed in Scripture to pray for “all those in authority,” Christians offered their prayers for President Donald Trump after he shared on Twitter late Thursday night that he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Several pastors and ministry leaders encouraged Americans that this was a time to pray for the president and the country regardless of their political stances.

Trump’s coronavirus infection comes a month before the election and following a busy campaign week that included multiple out-of-state events and the first presidential debate.
