We join you in this faithful and urgent intercession for our national and world leaders and for the people of the Beautiful Land and we say amen to your heart to see wisdom, salvation, protection and righteous elections according to God's will.
We agree that it is our duty to offer petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings for all in authority whether we like them or not, 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. We are reminded that there is no authority except from God and those that exist are ordained by God, Rom 13:1, and that He changes the times and the seasons, He removes kings and sets up kings, Dan 2:21, and the king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses, He turns it wherever He desires, Prov 21:1. We do not put our trust in princes but in the Lord God Omnipotent who reigns, Rev 19:6, who sits in the heavens and does whatever He pleases, Ps 115:3, who works all things after the counsel of His will, Eph 1:11, and who brings the counsel of the nations to nothing and makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect, Ps 33:10.
We lift up together the Beautiful Land spoken of in Dan 11:41 and we join with Romans 10:1 that our heart's desire and prayer to God is that Israel might be saved, and we pray for the peace of Jerusalem as commanded in Ps 122:6, and for all of her people worldwide, Jew and Gentile, that they would come to repentance and faith in Jesus the true Messiah, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12, and no one comes to the Father except through Him, John 14:6. We thank God that you have lifted this request in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the throne of grace.
We also agree for godly alliances between free countries and for the diminished influence of evil alignments, for the eradication of false prophecy and false teaching and persecution, and for the furtherance of free speech and press, written, spoken and digital, that the Gospel might go forth to make disciples of all nations as our Lord commanded, Matt 28:19, and to proclaim what He has commanded, Matt 28:20. We pray for humility and wisdom for leaders to know what to say and how to say it, even as Jesus said He spoke what the Father gave Him to say, John 12:49.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we give You thanks, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign, Rev 11:17. We bring before You the President, his family, the cabinet, service members, senators, representatives, Supreme Court justices and generals, pastors and spiritual leaders here and worldwide, and all presidents, prime ministers, governors, kings, parliaments and congress members. Save the lost among them, bless those who seek to walk in Your truth, guide them all and raise up and set down according to Your perfect wisdom. Grant them salvation if they do not know You, and grant wisdom, counsel and protection to those who do. Thwart the plans of the wicked and work everything together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose, Rom 8:28. We submit ourselves to You, James 4:7, and to the authorities You have ordained, and we pray for those who watch over our souls as those who will give account, Heb 13:17. We put on Your full armor that we may stand against the schemes of the devil, Eph 6:11, with loving kindness and truth, and we ask for angelic protection, for You will give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways, Ps 91:11, and we remember that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. We ask that You would restrain the spiritual forces of wickedness as You did when You sent help to Daniel despite the prince of Persia withstanding, Dan 10:13, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:7, as we make our requests known to You with thanksgiving, Phil 4:6, believing that whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive, Mark 11:24. Let Your Gospel run freely and let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done among the nations. In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.
