A Prayer for the President.

ALMIGHTY God, who rulest over all Nations and dost order them according to thy good pleasure: We beseech thee mercifully to behold the President of this State; that he may ever use the authority, which thou hast committed to him, for the peace of the world, the safety, honour, and welfare of the Nation, and the good of thy holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Prayer for Those in Authority.

ALMIGHTY God and everlasting Father, whose kingdom is everlasting and whose glory is in all the world: We beseech thee of thy mercy to direct and prosper the counsels of all who bear authority in this land; that in humility and honesty they may faithfully serve the people committed to their charge; and grant, we pray thee, that religion and piety, peace and unity, truth and justice, may be established among us for all generations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Morning and Evening Prayer are exactly identical to the 1662 BCP forms, with the exception of these two prayers, which replace the Prayer for the Queen and the Prayer for the Royal Family, respectively.
