God You Rule Over Nations Ps 24:1, Restrain Evil, Dan 10:13, Guide Leaders, Prov 21:1, We Pray for them,1 Tim 2:1-2, Salvation, 1 Tim 2:3-4... Father, we confess with the great multitude in heaven, shouting praise, The Lord God Omnipotent Reigns, Rev 19:6... Reign! Ride forth victoriously for the sake of Truth, Humility and Justice, Ps 45:3-4! Restrain Evil, Jn 17:15, We Pray FOR All in Authority, 1 Tim 2:1-2, SAVE OUR LEADERS and THOSE IN OTHER NATIONS around the world to govern justly in Jesus' Name, 1 Tim 2:3-4... Father -- You are 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 of this Earth to YOU asking YOU to restrain the evil one over Several Unruly Countries, even restrain him over all nations, Jn 16:11, asking You intercept evil plans, miraculously, 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, 1 Sam 20:9, 1 Sam 20:27-42.

Bind the spirit of retaliation over these countries, Dan 10:12-14. Please back the evil one off of their leaders and strategists, even using praise and worship, Josh 6:20, 1 Sam 16:23, Ps 149:1-5, Ps 150:1-5, 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, Eph 5:32-33, imitating God, Eph 5:1, even Jesus, who also intercedes for us, Rom 8:34, since You ever live to make intercession for us, 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.

Spoil the evil one's plans and tactics until they only conform to Your exact will, Eph 1:11, -- 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 2:1-4. 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 You, the Almighty God, who reigns over all nations and holds the earth in Your hands. You are sovereign, and nothing escapes Your knowledge or control. We declare with the psalmist, "The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains; the world, and those who dwell in it" (Psalm 24:1). You determine the appointed times and boundaries of nations (Acts 17:26), and we acknowledge that even the most powerful leaders are but a drop in the bucket compared to Your majesty (Isaiah 40:15).

Father, we lift up the nations of this world to You, especially those gripped by unrighteousness, violence, and deception. We ask that You restrain the evil one, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Just as You revealed the schemes of the king of Syria to Elisha (2 Kings 6:12) and exposed Saul’s plots against David (1 Samuel 20), we pray that You intercept and dismantle every evil plan devised against Your people and the innocent. Bind the spirit of retaliation and division, for we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).

We pray earnestly for all in authority, our leaders and those governing other nations, that You would guide their hearts like streams of water (Proverbs 21:1). May they seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with You (Micah 6:8). We intercede for their salvation, for You desire all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4). Father, deliver them from temptation and the snares of the evil one, for we are not ignorant of his schemes (2 Corinthians 2:11). We ask that You back the enemy away from their minds and strategies, just as praise and worship brought down the walls of Jericho (Joshua 6:20) and soothed Saul’s torment (1 Samuel 16:23). Let Your name be praised from the rising to the setting of the sun (Psalm 113:3), and may Your truth, humility, and justice prevail in every land (Psalm 45:3-4).

Lord, we confess that the Church must rise as Your helpmeet (Genesis 2:18), a holy nation and royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). Too often, we have been passive or divided, but we repent and ask for Your strength to imitate Christ, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil (Acts 10:38). Just as Jesus intercedes for us (Romans 8:34), we stand in the gap for the nations, praying with faith that moves mountains (Matthew 21:21). Teach us to walk in the authority You have given us (Luke 10:19), not rejoicing in temporary victories but in the assurance of our eternal salvation (Luke 10:20).

We ask that You spoil the enemy’s plans, turning them to conform to Your perfect will (Ephesians 1:11). Where there is hatred, sow love; where there is deception, bring truth; where there is oppression, bring freedom. We confess our own sins and the sins of our nation, pleading for Your mercy and revival (Daniel 9:20). Restrain the evil one even now, as You will one day bind him completely (Revelation 20:2), and let Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10).

Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your unfailing love and power, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). May Your name be glorified in every nation, and may Your people walk in boldness and faith, doing even greater works than Christ as we abide in Him (John 14:12). We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Amen.

We're grateful to stand with you in this. It's a heavy burden to carry a prayer like this alone, and we notice you didn't just list nations or leaders, you poured out Scripture as a weapon and a lifeline. That kind of sustained intercession can leave a person weary, and we want you to know it matters that you're doing it. The act of praying itself is one of the most universally helpful sources of strength in times like these, and knowing someone else is in the fight with you can steady the heart when the darkness feels thick.

One thing we'd encourage is simply not to carry this weight in isolation. If you have even one or two trusted believers you can pray with aloud, that shared intercession often does something in our own spirit that private prayer alone cannot. It reminds us we're part of a body, not a solitary watchman.

We join you now.

Lord Jesus, we lift the one who has poured out this prayer to You. Refresh them. Guard their hope from weariness. We ask You to restrain evil across the earth and turn the hearts of leaders toward justice and truth, not because any nation deserves it, but because You are merciful. Protect those who are vulnerable to the schemes of the wicked, and give Your church a spirit of persevering prayer that does not lose heart. Thank You that the Lord God omnipotent reigns. We rest in that. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The burden you have laid before the throne is weighty and right. You have pleaded the sovereignty of the Almighty over the nations, and truly, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. He has made from one blood all nations, and fixed their times and boundaries; therefore, let us draw near with confidence. The heart that intercedes for rulers and for the restraint of evil is close to the heart of the great Intercessor. Yet observe the narrowness of the way. The Spirit’s intercession is for the saints, and our Lord Himself declared He prays not for the world, but for them which the Father has given Him. This truth does not chill our prayers but purifies them. We must first cry that the leaders and the multitudes be brought into that blessed company through the one door of salvation, which is Christ Jesus.

The gospel is the same for the prince and the pauper. There is not one path for the great and another for the lowly. The throne and the gutter both lead to the same judgment bar, and the single remedy is a look to the dying Lamb of God. You do well to plead, “Save our leaders,” but remember, their salvation is obtained just as the harlot’s or the drunkard’s, by a simple, humble faith in Him who was lifted up. It lowers the pride of man, and for this very reason God has chosen to save by grace alone. He hath concluded all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all. We must urge this plain truth upon the conscience of every man, high or low: with the heart man believeth unto righteousness. There is no other way. Point them to the Cross, for there is no restraint upon evil that can compare to the regeneration of a single soul by the Holy Ghost. When a sinner is made a saint, the devil’s spoil is utterly ruined.

Yet we tremble at the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty, which towers above our prayers. Why is the Gospel sent to our nation while others sit in darkness? Why is one leader’s heart softened while another’s remains granite? There is no answer but this: “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.” This is a truth that to the rebellious spirit is as a blazing fire, but to the contrite child becomes a pillar of cloud, dark with an excessive brightness. It drives us to our knees. Because He is Sovereign, we are bold to pray. Because the King has a right to give or to withhold, we are commanded to ask Him for grace. And we do not ask as those who beat the air. We have His own promise: “Ask, and it shall be given you.” This promise is the very fruit of His sovereignty, a golden scepter stretched out by the absolute Monarch towards us who deserve no audience.

Take up, then, this holy wrestling for the nations. The request to spoil the evil one’s plans and bind the spirit of retaliation is a full-bodied cry of faith. Have we not authority over all the power of the enemy? Yet we are not ignorant of his devices. He is a murderer from the beginning. We oppose him not with carnal weapons but by the weapon of all-prevailing intercession. When the Church, seeing the sins of a nation, confesses her own sin and the people’s sin, as Daniel did, she lays hold of the very arm of Omnipotence. We must pray men into prayer. We must plead for those who will not plead for themselves, until the sin-sick soul begins to sigh and cry for mercy. This is the way the King’s chariot wheels advance. Not by the sword of steel but by the tear of supplication and the mighty cry, “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive.”

He is the living Savior, the visible image of the invisible God, who went about doing good. He still does so through His pleading body on earth. We are to be His helpmeet, acting in union with Him. This is our highest dignity. We are taken into partnership with Christ in His intercessory work. How this dignifies our groaning! He ever lives to intercede, and when we pray for the poor, proud sons of vain dust who rule the nations, we are in sympathy with our Divine Master. We sigh for them as Samuel sighed for Saul, even when the case seemed hopeless. We cannot take “No” for an answer because He who taught us to pray never turned away a sincere petitioner. The heathen are perishing, but there is a glorious future for the handful by the side of the lake. All kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him. Until that day, we wait for the Lord and we work at the throne of grace, for He has made all these things.
