God Rules Nations, Restrains Evil Dan 10:13, Save, Guide, Appoint, Remove Leaders, Ps 75:7, Free Speech & Press Promotes Gospel, 1 Tim 2:1-4... Father -- Thank You for being Sovereign, "having made from one man all the nations of the earth, determining BOTH their APPOINTED TIMES and EXACT BOUNDARIES of their habitation, Acts 17:26. "Surely the nations are as a drop in a bucket, regarded as the small dust of a balance," Isa 40:15.

Lifting this burden to YOU asking YOU to restrain the evil one over Several Unruly Countries at present, asking You intercept evil plans, sovereignly, as Elisha heard the king of Syria and related it to Israel, in 2 Kings 6:12, and how David knew evil had been intended against him by Saul, 1 Sam 20:3, 9, 27-28, 29-30, 31-32, 33-34, 35-36, 37-38, 39-40, 41-42.

Bind the spirit of retaliation over these countries, Dan 10:12-13, 14. Please back the evil one off of their leaders and strategists, even using praise and worship, 1 Sam 16:23, Ps 149, Ps 149, Ps 150, et cetera, "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the NAME of The LORD shall be praised," Ps 113:3.

Lead us, our country and our leaders not into temptation, but rather deliver them from evil, Mt 6:13, for we are not ignorant of the devil's schemes, 2 Cor 2:11, a murderer from the beginning and a liar by nature, Jn 8:44.

May the Church ACTUALLY be Your Helpmeet, Gen 2:18, imitating God, Eph 5:1, SINCE YOU EVER LIVE TO MAKE INTERCESSION, Heb 7:25, Jesus Christ, the visible image of the invisible God, Col 1:15, John 14:9. "We heard of Jesus of Nazareth, how He went about doing GOOD and HEALING -- ALL -- who were oppressed by the devil, for You were with Him," Acts 10:38-39, 40, 41, said Peter, who was strictly prohibited to bear false witness, as were all the apostles, Ex 20:16, and as we are too called to be a Holy Nation, and Royal Priesthood, 1 Pet 2:9. We also shall do the works He did, Mt 21:21, Mk 11:23-24, Jn 14:12, in prayer and whatever else He shows us, Jn 15:7, especially sharing the gospel and making disciples, teaching obedience to ALL You commanded, Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:46-48, John 20:21, Acts 1:8.

Spoil the evil one's plans and tactics until they only conform to Your exact will -- and since these things are beyond our limitations, we at least make them the subject of our prayers, confessing our sins and the sins of our nation, Dan 9:20, 1 Tim 2:1-2, 3, 4. Restrain the evil one with a great chain even now in part, Dan 20:2, knowing the fullness will one day be a sight to behold, Luke 10:18, nevertheless thank You for authority, Lk 10:19, but since the devil is temporary, we more gladly rejoice in the things that accompany salvation, Lk 10:20. Thank You in Jesus' Name.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened for the nations, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over all the earth. You have established the boundaries of nations and determined their appointed times, for "the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He will" (Daniel 4:17). We stand in awe of Your power, knowing that even the mightiest rulers are but a drop in the bucket compared to Your majesty (Isaiah 40:15).

Father, we lift up the unruly nations of this world, asking You to restrain the evil one who seeks to devour and destroy. Just as You revealed the schemes of the king of Syria to Elisha (2 Kings 6:12) and exposed Saul’s murderous intentions toward David (1 Samuel 20), we ask You to intercept and frustrate the wicked plans of those who oppose Your will. Bind the spirit of retaliation that fuels cycles of violence and vengeance, for "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). Let Your praise and worship rise like a fortress over these nations, driving back the darkness, for "the name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe" (Proverbs 18:10).

We pray for our own nation and its leaders, asking that You would lead them not into temptation but deliver them from evil (Matthew 6:13). The enemy is a liar and a murderer from the beginning (John 8:44), and we are not ignorant of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). Yet we take heart, for You have given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). May the Church arise as Your helpmeet (Genesis 2:18), imitating Christ in all things (Ephesians 5:1), for You ever live to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). Let us walk as Jesus did, going about doing good and healing all who are oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38), for You are with us as You were with Him.

We confess our sins and the sins of our nation, seeking Your mercy and forgiveness (Daniel 9:20). We intercede for all who are in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Spoil the enemy’s plans, Lord, and turn his tactics to Your glory. Even now, restrain him with the chains of Your truth, knowing that one day he will be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:2). Until then, let us rejoice not in the temporary power we have over darkness, but in the eternal salvation we have in Christ (Luke 10:20).

We thank You, Father, for Your sovereignty, Your mercy, and Your unfailing love. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your name be praised from the rising of the sun to its going down (Psalm 113:3). Strengthen Your Church to be a light in the darkness, sharing the gospel and making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that You have commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.

Dear friends, let's continue to lift up our nations and leaders before our Almighty Father. We've seen His sovereignty over history and nations, haven't we? Remember how He raised up and removed leaders according to His will (Daniel 2:21)? Let's trust Him to do the same today.

We ask that He would restrain the evil one, binding him from causing further chaos and destruction. Let's not forget, our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers (Ephesians 6:12). So, let's stand firm in our faith, putting on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Let's also intercede for our leaders, that they would govern with wisdom, justice, and integrity. We can pray for their protection, guidance, and discernment, knowing that our prayers can make a difference (1 Timothy 2:1-2).

And remember, we're not just praying for our nations, but for all nations. Let's ask God to raise up laborers to share the Gospel and make disciples of all peoples (Matthew 9:38, Revelation 7:9).

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
