Jesus, You said, "It is written, 'My House Shall Be Called A House of Prayer for All Nations,'" Isaiah 56:7, Mark 11:17. Thank You for the testimony of two witnesses, Yourself, "The Faithful and True Witness," and Isaiah, whose Prophecy of Scripture You quoted. We take this as meaning prayer in general and intercession for nations in particular is to have a far more eminent place than at present -- in order to live up to its name -- and to fulfill both Isaiah's and Your prophecy, we petition You to help Your House, us individually and especially when we assemble together, aspire to pray (in general) and for the nations (ἔθνεσιν, ethnesin, a race, tribe; specially, people groups of the world) in particular -- our own nations, our neighboring nations and "the uttermost parts of the earth," Acts 1:8. Psalm 2 declares, "Ask of Me and I Will Give The Nations as Thine Inheritance and The Uttermost Parts of The Earth as thy Possession," Ps 2:8, Acts 1:8. We ask for Your Priorities, our own needs, the needs of our families, friends, churches, pastors and all in authority, 1 Tim 2:1-2, AND we ask for all The Nations in The World to be brought into the Kingdom to fulfill Isaiah 56:7, Mk Rev 7:9-10, "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands. They cried with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation be to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!"

National AND World Leaders NEED Our Prayers, 1 Tim 2:1-2, The New Testament Urges Prayer for ALL in Authority... "I exhort first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgivings, be made for all people: for kings and all in authority; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence." Firstly, we thank God for the World's leaders and authorities He has placed over our lives, Rom 13:1-2, as this is an International Prayer Site. We pray for the protection of the President, Vice President, and all cabinet members, as well as godly wisdom and guidance for them. We ask that God would set a guard over their mouths, as Psalm 141:3 says, and grant them the tongue of the wise, as Proverbs 15:2 tells us. We pray that they would be surrounded by godly counsel and that their leadership would promote unity and righteousness and not have any bitterness or rivalry. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.

We agree with this in asking for GODLY UNITY among political, national and international parties and nations, that they would come to agree on important issues and work together for the good of our nation, their nation and all the nations, Psalm 133. We pray against any plans of the enemy to divide or destroy, and we ask for angelic protection and heavenly intelligence for our leaders, as seen in Psalm 91 and 2 Kings 6:12. May we be the people of God who are called by His name and humble ourselves to pray and seek His face as 2 Chronicles 7:14 says. We pray for wisdom in the worldly leaders and protection of our leaders and civilians worldwide, for the eradication of evil in elections, Isaiah 33:15, and for the silencing of false prophets and news, Titus 1:11.

We also pray for God's power & protection over our LOCAL AREA, "But seek the welfare of the city where I have removed you, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare, peace and prosperity you will find yours as well," Jer 29:7. May The Holy Spirit convict and convert our neighbors, the local students, teachers, workers that come and go, even the parents, pastors, entertainment industry, athletes, law enforcement, state and local leaders, all people and all in authority, 1 Tim 2:1-2, of righteousness, sin and judgement to come, John 16:8. Father, draw them to Your Son, John 6:44. Graciously grant them saving faith in Jesus as a gift, Eph 2:8-9, by hearing the Word, Rom 10:17, repentance unto life, 2 Cor 7:10-11, and reconciliation back to Your intention, a love relationship, respect for God and others, Your plans for a hope and a future, Jer 29:11. Grant a wall of fire around our areas, protecting them from harm & evil influences, Zechariah 2:5, Ps 91:10-11, John 17:15. Thank you in Jesus' Name.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts aligned to the Word of God, echoing the cry of Scripture that declares, *"My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations"* (Isaiah 56:7, Mark 11:17). Indeed, the Lord’s house is not merely a place of gathering but a sanctuary of intercession, where the saints lift their voices for the lost, the nations, and the fulfillment of God’s redemptive purposes. We stand in agreement with the truth that prayer—especially intercession for the nations—must take its rightful place in the life of every believer and the corporate body of Christ. The Great Commission commands us to go into all the world, but first, we must *pray* into all the world, for *"how shall they hear without a preacher?"* (Romans 10:14). And how shall preachers go unless they are sent by the prayers of the saints?

We rejoice in the promise of Psalm 2:8, where the Father invites us to *"Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as your possession."* This is not a passive invitation but a clarion call to the Church to rise in fervent, persistent prayer for the lost, the persecuted, and the unreached. Every tribe, tongue, and people group must hear the Gospel, and we declare that the Lord will fulfill His Word as we pray in faith. The vision of Revelation 7:9-10 is not a distant dream but an imminent reality—*"a great multitude, which no man could number, out of every nation and of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb."* We cry out for this harvest, that the Lord of the harvest would send forth laborers into His fields (Matthew 9:38).

For the leaders of the nations, we heed the apostolic exhortation: *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people: for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence"* (1 Timothy 2:1-2). This is not optional; it is a sacred duty. We lift up presidents, prime ministers, legislators, judges, and all in authority, that they would govern with wisdom, justice, and humility. We pray for divine protection over their lives, that the schemes of the enemy would be thwarted, and that their decisions would align with righteousness. The Word declares, *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people"* (Proverbs 14:34). Therefore, we intercede for godly counsel to surround them, for their hearts to be softened to the truth, and for their words to bring life, not division.

We also stand against the spirit of discord that seeks to fracture nations, communities, and even the Church. Psalm 133 declares, *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!"* Unity is not uniformity, nor is it compromise with sin, but it is the bond of peace that comes from a shared love for Christ and His Word. We rebuke the enemy’s plans to sow strife, bitterness, and rivalry among leaders, political parties, and nations. Instead, we pray for a spirit of cooperation rooted in biblical truth, where justice, mercy, and humility guide decisions (Micah 6:8). The Lord’s prayer for His disciples was *"that they may all be one"* (John 17:21), and we echo this cry for the Church to be a beacon of unity in a divided world.

For our local communities, we claim the promise of Jeremiah 29:7: *"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."* The Church is not called to retreat from the world but to engage it with the transforming power of the Gospel. We pray for the Holy Spirit to convict hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), drawing the lost to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Every neighbor, student, teacher, law enforcement officer, and local leader must hear the Good News. We ask the Father to grant them the gift of saving faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), that they would turn from their sins and be reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:18-20). Let the Word of God go forth with power, for *"faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God"* (Romans 10:17).

We also pray for a hedge of protection around our communities, that the Lord would be *"a wall of fire around"* them (Zechariah 2:5) and that no evil would befall them (Psalm 91:10-11). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony will prevail (Revelation 12:11). We bind every spirit of violence, addiction, perversion, and deception, and we loose the peace of Christ over our cities. Let the light of the Gospel dispel the darkness, and let the love of Christ break every chain.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We acknowledge that apart from Christ, we can do nothing (John 15:5), but through Him, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Forgive us for the times we have neglected prayer, for the times we have allowed the cares of this world to choke out our intercession. Revive us, O Lord, and stir within us a holy fire to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Let Your house truly be a house of prayer for all nations, where the lost are saved, the broken are healed, and the nations are discipled.

We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your Church (Matthew 16:18), and we stand in faith for the fulfillment of Your promises. Raise up a generation of intercessors who will storm the heavens for the lost, the oppressed, and the forgotten. Let the sound of our prayers shake the nations and bring down strongholds. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10). We ask all these things in the precious, powerful, and matchless name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dear Friends,

As we gather here, let's lift our hearts and voices together, echoing the cry of our Lord Jesus, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations." (Mark 11:17, Isaiah 56:7)

Let's intercede for our world leaders, that they may govern with wisdom, justice, and humility. We ask for divine protection over their lives, that the schemes of the enemy may be thwarted. We pray for godly counsel to surround them, and for their hearts to be softened to the truth. Let's ask for unity among political parties and nations, that they may work together for the good of their people.

Let's also pray for our local communities. We claim the promise of Jeremiah 29:7, that as we seek the welfare of our cities, we will find our own welfare. We ask the Holy Spirit to convict hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment, drawing the lost to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Let's pray for a hedge of protection around our communities, that no evil may befall us.

And let's not forget the nations. We stand in faith for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, that all may hear the Gospel. We pray for a great harvest of souls, as envisioned in Revelation 7:9-10. We ask for laborers to be sent forth into the Lord's harvest, and we intercede for the unreached people groups.

Father, we thank You for the privilege of prayer. We ask all these things in Jesus' name, amen.
