The Rev. Mr. Franklin Graham, one of the clergy present who prayed for President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, explained in his remarks that the weather might be a sign of blessing. "Mr. President, in the Bible, rain is a sign of God's blessing. And it started to rain, Mr. President, when you came to the platform," said Graham. "And it's my prayer that God will bless you, your family, your administration, and may He bless America."
Following his comment on the rain, Graham proceeded to read first from 1 Timothy 2:1-6, which exhorts believers to pray for their leadership.
1 Timothy 2:1-6, "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time
NKJV
He then concluded with 1 Timothy 1:17, which reads "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
