[Nochaeld]

National, World Church, Civic, Defense 1 Tim 2:2 -- Wisdom Salvation, Protect Free Press, Save Protect People Beautiful Land Dan 11:4... (Church, Government, Military Leaders -- All NEED Our Collective Prayers)... First of All, I Urge Prayers, Petitions, Intercessions and Thanksgivings be Made for All People, 1 Tim 2:1, for Government and All in Authority, so We May Lead Peaceful and Quiet Lives of Devotion and Dignity, 1 Tim 2:2, which is Good and Pleasing in the Sight of God our Savior, 1 Tim 2:3, Who Wants All People to Be Saved and Come to the Knowledge of The Truth, 1 Tim 2:4... Grant Loyal agents and bodyguards like David's Mighty Men, 2 Sam 23:23, and give them angelic protection, Ps 91:10-11 and heavenly intelligence as a gift to know what's coming before it occurs and circumvent it successfully and accordingly illuminate them, expose them, illuminate them (Like Elisha could hear the whispers of The King of Assyria's plans from the king's bedroom remotely at Elisha's Home [without electronic devices, btw, but You are obviously free to use whatever means You choose, being GOD and very creative]), 2 Kings 6:12. We ask for the fostering of godly alliances between free countries, for wisdom, humility (what to say and how to say it, Jn 12:49), and promotion of and strengthening of godly international alliances. We pray for the diminished influence of evil alignments, the eradication of false prophecy, teaching and persecution, and ultimately for the FURTHERANCE of FREE SPEECH, PRESS and PUBLICATION, DIGITAL, WRITTEN, TYPED and SPOKEN, 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 28:18-20. 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.

Salvation, Wisdom, Guidance, Protection, Peace of The Beautiful or Glorious Land, Dan 11:41, Rom 10:1, and Peace of its People Worldwide, Ps 122:6... SAVE THE WORST, BLESS THE BEST, GUIDE THEM ALL, RAISE UP, SET DOWN, THE LORD GOD OMNIPOTENT REIGNS, Rev 19:6... “We give You thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign," Rev 11:17...

Our Father, we offer "petitions, PRAYERS, intercessions and thanksgivings," for ALL in AUTHORITY (Whether we LIKE them or NOT does not Exempt us from our DUTY), Save and PROTECT The President, His Family, Cabinet, Service Members, Our Senators, Representatives, SCOTUS Justices & Generals, Our PASTORS, Spiritual Leaders Here and Worldwide, and all Presidents, Prime Ministers, Governors, Kings, Parliaments, Congress Members -- "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 Tim 2:1-4.

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, Eph 1:11, thwart the plans of the wicked, Ps 33:10-11, work everything together for good to those who love You and according to Your purpose are CALLED, Rom 8:28. We submit to You, James 4:7, to government, Rom 13, to those who will have to give account for us in the Body of Christ, Heb 13:17, put on Your Armor, Eph 6:10-20, asking for loving-kindness, truth and angelic protection for us, for them, protecting them and ourselves from the serpent and his fallen angels, Dan 10:12-13, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14. Thank You that Christ, who is in us, is greater than he that is in the world, 1 Jn 4:4, and for hearing these requests, Mark 11:24, with thanksgiving we offer these requests -- let the peace of God guard our hearts and minds, Phil 4:6-7, in Christ Jesus' Name...

 

[Articles]

We join you wholeheartedly in this urgent and biblical call to prayer for our nation, for the world, for the Church, for civic leaders and for those who defend us.

We agree that our first duty is exactly as Scripture commands, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence, for 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 Tim 2:1-4. Whether we like those in authority or not does not exempt us from this duty, and we embrace it with you.

We lift up together the President, his family, his cabinet, our Senators and Representatives, our Supreme Court Justices and generals, our service members, our pastors and spiritual leaders here and worldwide, and all presidents, prime ministers, governors, kings, parliaments and congress members. We pray for their salvation, for wisdom and guidance, for humility to know what to say and how to say it, as Jesus said, I did not speak from myself, but the Father who sent me has given me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak, John 12:49. We ask that You grant them loyal protectors and counselors like David's mighty men, 2 Sam 23:23, and that You command Your angels concerning them, for it is written, No evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling, for he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways, Psalm 91:10-11, and that ministering spirits sent to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation, Heb 1:14, would guard them.

We pray as you prayed for heavenly intelligence and discernment, like that given to Elisha, of whom it was said, Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom, 2 Kings 6:12. We ask You to illuminate, expose and thwart every hidden plan of evil, for Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing, he makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect, but the counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, Psalm 33:10-11. We ask You to thwart the plans of the wicked and work all things after the counsel of Your will, Eph 1:11, and to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose, Rom 8:28.

We join you in praying for the beautiful and glorious land, Dan 11:41, and for peace for its people and for peoples worldwide, as we are taught to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Psalm 122:6, and as our heart's desire and prayer to God is that all might be saved, Rom 10:1. We ask for the fostering of godly alliances between free countries and for the diminished influence of evil alignments. We pray for the furtherance of free speech, free press and publication, digital, written, typed and spoken, not merely for political reasons but so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, and His Kingdom might go forth, that repentance might come and disciples might be made of all nations, for Jesus said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth, 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, Matt 28:18-20. We pray that false teaching, false prophecy and persecution would be eradicated and truth would prevail.

We thank You for every leader who endeavors to be honest and to align with Your worldview, and we pray without ceasing and give thanks in all circumstances, 1 Thess 5:17-18, remembering that there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are ordained by God, Rom 13:1, and that the king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses, he turns it wherever he desires, Prov 21:1. We confess that You sit in the heavens and do whatever You please, Psalm 115:3, that You raise up and set down according to Your sovereign purpose, and we say with the heavenly chorus, We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and reigned, Rev 11:17, and Hallelujah, for the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns, Rev 19:6.

We rejoice that you have prayed so clearly in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me, John 14:6, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12. We rest in the promise that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4.

So we pray together now, Father, we submit ourselves to You, James 4:7, we put on Your whole armor, Eph 6:10-18, and we ask for Your loving kindness, truth and angelic protection over us and over all those in authority, to protect us from the serpent and his fallen angels, Dan 10:12-13. Grant wisdom, salvation, guidance, protection and peace to our leaders and to the people of this land and throughout the world. Save the worst, bless the best, guide them all. Let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and our thoughts in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7. We ask that You hear these requests as we pray with thanksgiving and faith, for whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and you shall have it, Mark 11:24. We ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.

We appreciate you lifting such a broad and faithful burden before the Lord. Your love for the church, for our nation and other nations, for those who serve in civic and defense roles, for a free press, and for the peace and protection of people in that beautiful land and around the world comes through clearly.

It is a steady, good work to keep bringing all in authority before God, whether we agree with them or not, asking for wisdom, humility, safety, and that many would come to know Jesus. Carrying that much in prayer can feel heavy at times, and we are thankful you are not carrying it alone. We are joining you in it.

When the list feels so large, we have found it helps to keep a simple, sustainable rhythm rather than trying to cover everything in depth every time. You might keep a small card with a few names or regions for each day of the week and rotate through them, giving thanks as you go as you already do so faithfully. It keeps prayer both wide and restful.

Father, we lift these leaders, pastors, service members, and nations to You, and ask for Your wisdom, protection, and mercy over them and their families. Guide alliances toward what is good and just, guard free speech so the gospel can go forth, and bring peace and salvation to many. Lead us all to live quiet, dignified lives that honor You. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest plea for prayer is most timely and most welcome, and we do join with you in it with a hearty Amen. There are two things set before us in the Scripture you have quoted, prayer asked and a blessing given, and the apostle himself felt that an agony alone was too bitter for him and therefore piteously cries, I beseech you, brethren, that you agonize with me in prayer to God for me. Such is the prayer we would offer with you, not the prayer which foams itself away in words, but prayer with force, with energy, with humble boldness and intensity of desire, prayer which like a deep hidden torrent cuts a channel even through a rock.

We take up your petition as you have framed it from 1 Timothy 2:1-4, that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all in authority, whether we like them or not does not exempt us from our duty, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity, which is good and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. We pray this in the only name given under heaven whereby we must be saved, the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, for there is no other way of salvation, and we plead that leaders and people alike may be brought to repentance and faith in Him alone.

We entreat the Lord for wisdom for those set in authority, for the President and his household, for Cabinet members, Senators and Representatives, for Justices and Generals, for Governors and all who bear rule, and for pastors and spiritual leaders here and throughout the world. We ask that the Lord would make them as channels of water in His hand and turn their hearts as He pleases, that He would thwart the plans of the wicked and work all things after the counsel of His will for good to those who love Him. We pray with you for loyal men and faithful guardians, as David had his mighty men, and for angelic protection according to Psalm 91, that no harm befall them as they walk in the path of duty, and for heavenly intelligence to discern and circumvent evil, as Elisha was made to hear the whisperings of the king of Syria even in his chamber.

We join you also in praying for godly alliances between free peoples, for humility and wisdom to know what to say and how to say it, and for the diminished influence of evil alignments and the eradication of false prophecy and false teaching and all persecution of the saints. And we pray for the furtherance of free speech and a free press, not for vanity, but that the Gospel of Jesus, the true Messiah, and all that He has commanded, may have free course and be glorified, to the making of disciples of all nations as He bade us in Matthew 28.

We give thanks for every honest endeavor in our rulers and we pray for the peace of the land in which we dwell and for the peace of Jerusalem and for peoples scattered worldwide, asking the Lord to save the worst, bless the best, and guide them all, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigns. We pray for the Church, that the Lord would cause His face to shine upon His sanctuary, for if the Church has not the Lord to shine upon her, what hope has a perishing world. Oh for a praying Church, sustained in fervor and increased in number, for praying is after all the chief matter.

Let us then continue steadfastly in this work. Pray for some here present that are yet unconverted, who will not pray for themselves, that we may pray them into prayer until they at last cry, Lord help me. That simple prayer, Lord help me, is handy for every place and every person, and Christ never finally refuses to listen to such pleading. And remember what is the great protection of our faith, our Savior's intercession, for He says, I have prayed for you, and if Jesus pleads He must prevail.

May the God of peace be with you all. We commend these petitions to Him with thanksgiving, asking that the peace of God which passes all understanding may guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen.
