We come before the Lord with gratitude for the men and women in law enforcement and border protection who faithfully serve to uphold justice and safety. Father, we lift up ICE and all those working to protect citizens and legal immigrants from harm. The Bible tells us in Romans 13:4, "For he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil." We pray for wisdom, discernment, and integrity for those in authority as they carry out their duties. May their work be honored, and may the truth of their efforts be made known to those who have been misled by false narratives.
Lord, we also lift up our president and all leaders in positions of authority. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, we are instructed, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence." We pray for humility, wisdom, and a heart aligned with Your will for our nation. Even when we disagree with attitudes or approaches, we ask that You soften hearts, guide decisions, and bring unity where there is division.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of deception that seeks to distort the truth and sow discord. We declare that the light of Your truth will prevail, and that those who spread lies will be exposed. Help us as believers to stand firm in Your Word and to speak the truth in love, even when it is unpopular. Let us be a voice for justice, mercy, and righteousness in our nation.
We pray for the safety of those who protect our borders and for the well-being of innocent citizens and legal immigrants. May Your hand of protection be upon them, and may Your peace reign in our land. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace and the ultimate authority over all nations. Amen.
