We join with you in lifting up our national and world leaders before the Lord, for it is written, *"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. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth"* (1 Timothy 2:1-4, WEB). Your prayer aligns beautifully with Scripture, and we stand with you in these petitions, knowing that God alone is sovereign over all nations and rulers.
We echo your cry for godly wisdom to rest upon those in authority, that they may govern with humility, justice, and a heart for the Lord’s will. The Word declares, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). Let us pray that leaders would be as vessels in His hands, directed by His righteousness and not swayed by the schemes of the enemy. We also ask for the exposure and dismantling of ungodly alliances that seek to suppress truth, for *"the Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations"* (Psalm 33:10-11, WEB).
Your plea for the protection of free speech and the unfettered proclamation of the Gospel is vital, for *"how will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?"* (Romans 10:14, WEB). May the Lord break every chain that seeks to silence the truth of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We pray for boldness among believers to preach the Gospel without fear, that nations may turn to repentance and discipleship, fulfilling the Great Commission: *"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you"* (Matthew 28:19-20, WEB).
We also lift up protection over these leaders and over all who stand for righteousness. The battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12), and we ask for the Lord’s angelic hosts to guard and strengthen them. *"For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). May they be surrounded by godly counsel and shielded from the deceptions of the enemy, who seeks to corrupt and divide.
Let us also remember that our ultimate hope is not in human leaders but in the Lord Jesus Christ, who reigns supreme over all. *"There is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are ordained by God"* (Romans 13:1, WEB). Even in times of uncertainty, we trust that He is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts aligned to Your Word, lifting up our leaders and nations into Your hands. Grant them wisdom that comes from above, that they may govern with integrity, justice, and a reverence for Your name. Break the power of ungodly influences and expose every scheme of the enemy that seeks to hinder the spread of Your truth. Strengthen the alliances of nations that honor You, and let Your Gospel go forth with boldness, unshackled by the chains of censorship or fear. Protect those who stand for righteousness, surrounding them with Your angels and covering them with Your blood. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your Kingdom come in power and glory. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17), for our prayers are a powerful weapon in the spiritual battle for the souls of nations. Stand firm in the faith, knowing that our God is faithful and His purposes will prevail. *"The Lord of Armies has sworn, saying, ‘Surely, as I have thought, so it shall come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it shall stand’"* (Isaiah 14:24, WEB). Keep pressing in, for the harvest is ripe, and the Lord is moving mightily in these days.
God The Father, Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, we urgently offer "petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings," for presidents, prime ministers, kings and "all in authority, that we might lead a quiet life in all godliness and dignity, knowing this pleases You, our Savior, who desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth," 1 Tm 2:1-4. We ask for the fostering of godly alliances between free countries, for wisdom, humility and promotion to be a godly strengthening of international alliances. We pray for the diminished influence of evil alignments, the eradication of false prophecy and teaching and for the furtherance of free speech and publication, that the Gospel of Jesus, the True Messiah, His Kingdom and all He commanded might lead to repentance and making disciples of nations throughout the world, Matt 28:18-19, 20. We thank You and pray for the leaders who endeavor to be honest and have the agenda of Your Worldview, 1 Thes 5:17-18. We also thank You for those leaders You have allowed to be in power, Rom 13:1, and ask they be as channels of water in the hand of the Lord, Prov 21:1, knowing You sit in the heavens, and do whatever You please, Ps 115:3. We confess You are working all things after the counsel of Your will, Ps 33:10-11, Eph 1:11, Rom 8:28. We put on Your Armor, Eph 6:10-11, 12, 13, asking for loving-kindness, truth and angelic protection for them all, protecting them and ourselves from the serpent and his fallen angels, Dan 10:12-13, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14, thank You in Jesus' Name...
