Pray for our country and leaders

I ran across the prayer below while I was cruising online and was reminded that Christians are instructed to pray for those that are in authority over us.

The specific scripture is 1Timothy 2:1-2 which says: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Lord, who grants salvation to kings and dominion to rulers,
Whose kingdom is a kingdom spanning all eternities;
Who places a road in the sea and a path in the waters
may You bless the President, the Vice President, and
all the constituted officers of government of this land.
May they execute their responsibilities
with intelligence, honor and compassion.
And may these United States continue to be
the land of the free and the home of the brave.
