We join together in prayer and intercession for our national and world leaders, as the Scriptures urge us to pray for all in authority. Let us remember what the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 2:1-4, "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. 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."
Firstly, we ask God for the salvation of world leaders and authorities He has placed over our lives, as this is an international prayer site. We pray for intelligence, character, and 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. May their leadership promote unity and righteousness and not have any bitterness or rivalry. May leaders "do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God," Micah 6:8. We ask You to give angels charge over our leaders here and world leaders abroad, Psalm 91:10-12, in Jesus' Name.
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, Christian leaders, and civilians worldwide, for the eradication of evil in and around elections, Isaiah 33:15, and for the silencing of false prophets and news, Titus 1:11. We look for "The Day of The Lord," where righteousness and peace through public officials will be fully and finally realized through the Return of The Messiah, Jesus The Lord's True Anointed One, and pray for all this in His Name, thank You in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Let us also remember the words of Romans 13:1-2, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment." It is through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
We encourage everyone to pray fervently for our leaders, recognizing that their decisions impact many lives. Let us also be mindful of the need for personal repentance and a commitment to righteous living, as this is pleasing to God and beneficial for our societies.
