Evangelical leader Franklin Graham and more than 250 other Christian luminaries are asking America's Bible-believers to pray from President Trump on June 2 in the hope that God will take his side in political battles that have roiled Washington.

Graham wrote Sunday on Facebook that pastors should lead their congregations in the 'Special Day of Prayer' to ask the almighty to 'protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide' the president.

'President Trump’s enemies continue to try everything to destroy him, his family, and the presidency. In the history of our country, no president has been attacked as he has. I believe the only hope for him, and this nation, is God,' Graham wrote.

“This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President,” he continued.

'He's our president,' Graham added in a Twitter video clip, 'and if he succeeds we all benefit. But if his enemies are allowed to destroy him and pull down the presidency it will hurt our entire nation.'

Graham said 'many thousands of churches' will take part in the targeted prayer sessions.

The Texas preacher's father was the late evangelist Billy Graham. He now leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the Samaritan's Purse charity.

He's also a reliable Trump booster, along with other co-signers of the call to prayer who cautiously backed the president and quietly chuckled when the sometimes-Presbyterian clumsily cited 'Two Corinthians' instead of 'Second Corinthians.'

But they have found in him a president eager to defend religious liberties, influence millions of evangelicals to vote, and autograph Bibles along the way.

Graham risks drawing culture-war pressure to Trump with his unapologetic positions against gay rights. He said last week that Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg should ‘repent’ his homosexual 'sin.'

'Buttigieg is right – God doesn’t have a political party,' he tweeted. 'But God does have commandments, laws & standards He gives us to live by.'

‘As a Christian I believe the Bible,' he added, 'which defines homosexuality as sin, something to be repentant of, not something to be flaunted, praised or politicized.'

‘The Bible says marriage is between a man & a woman – not two men, not two women,' he wrote.

Graham has become a controversial figure both inside and outside Christian cultural circles because of his support for President Trump.

When asked about allegations that Trump had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels and then paid her hush money to keep quiet about it, he said last year: 'President Trump I don’t think has admitted to having an affair with this person. And so this is just a news story, and I don’t even know if it’s accurate.'

Graham told NBC News at the time: 'We certainly don't hold him up as the pastor of this nation and he is not.'

Other Christian leaders joining Graham in his call to prayer include former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, preacher Kenneth Copeland, Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., civil rights activist Alveda King, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Faith and Freedom coalition leader Ralph Reed, Christian recording artist Michael W. Smith and preacher Paula White-Cain.
