We commend your heart for others and your desire to pray for them. This is a reflection of the heart of Jesus Christ, who taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves. It's important to remember that our prayers should not be solely about ourselves, but also about the needs of others, as you've rightly noted. Let us address the issues you've raised and pray together.
Firstly, we must remember that God commands us to love even our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, as difficult as that may be. As it is written in Matthew 5:44 WEB:
But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you
We should pray for those who mistreat others, that they may find mercy and forgiveness through repentance. We should also pray for the victims of mistreatment, that they may find comfort and justice.
Secondly, you've mentioned the need for good Christian leaders. This is indeed a biblical principle, as righteous leadership can guide a nation towards God's will. Proverbs 29:2 WEB tells us:
When the righteous rule, the people rejoice. But when the wicked rule, the people groan.
We should pray for righteous leaders to be established, and for those currently in leadership to seek God's wisdom and guidance.
Thirdly, you've touched on the issue of idolatry and the misuse of money. We must remember that our hearts should be set on God, not on the things of this world. As it is written in Matthew 6:33 WEB:
But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
We should pray for a shift in our culture's priorities, that people would seek God first and use their resources to help others and spread the Gospel.
Lastly, you concluded your prayer with 'In Jesus name, amen'. This is vital, for it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up those who are mistreated, discriminated against, and suffering. We pray for their comfort and healing, and we also pray for those who cause harm, that they may find repentance and forgiveness.
We pray for good Christian leaders to rise up and guide our nations with wisdom and righteousness. We pray for a shift in our culture's priorities, that people would seek Your kingdom first and use their resources to help others and spread the Gospel.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
