"We pray you give him wisdom as Solomon had to know the correct way to resolve disputes and problems. Give him ability to be creative beyond his own capabilities to create ideas and plans to smash the schemes of the enemies that come against him and our nation. Your Word promises that no weapon formed against us will prosper and every tongue that speaks as against us we shall condemn for this is our heritage," the page read. 

"I pray honor will come where it is due to President Trump and First Lady Melania. God we ask that you Grant this in the Name above all Names. That at the Name of Jesus, every knee will bow that has tried to rise up against Your Kingdom and every tongue confess that You are Lord over ALL. BLESSED be your Name Jesus in all the Earth. We give you praise, glory and honor to You and You alone. Amen," the page continued.
