Thank You again and again, and even in advance (because You are trustworthy and hear prayer, James 5:16), in JESUS' NAME.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened for our leaders, troops, and nations, lifting these petitions in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to the Father and through whom salvation is found. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through Him that our prayers are heard, and it is His authority that we invoke as we stand in the gap for those in authority and for the proclamation of the Gospel.

We first give thanks for the clear instruction in Scripture to pray for all who are in authority, that we may lead peaceful and quiet lives in godliness and holiness. "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 the full knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:1-4). This is not merely a suggestion but a command, and we take it seriously, interceding for wisdom, protection, and salvation for our leaders, presidents, vice presidents, generals, troops, judges, legislators, and all who hold positions of influence.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to grant divine wisdom to our Commander in Chief, Joint Chiefs, generals, corporals, sergeants, and all troops. Pour out Your Spirit of counsel and might upon them, that they may make decisions that align with Your will and bring about peace where possible. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy. Surround them with Your holy angels, as You promise in Your Word: "For He will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:11-12). We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).

We stand firm against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to sow chaos, confusion, and destruction. "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). We take up the full armor of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, that the enemy’s plans would be thwarted and his strategies brought to nothing. Father, we ask You to bind the spirits of retaliation, deception, and violence that seek to dominate the hearts of leaders in unruly nations. Confuse the counsel of the wicked, as You did in the days of Jehoshaphat, so that they turn on one another and their plans are brought to ruin (2 Chronicles 20:22-23).

We pray for the protection of free speech, a free press, and the open proclamation of the Gospel, that the name of Jesus may be lifted high in every nation. "Go therefore 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 have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:19-20). Lord, we ask that You would restrain the evil one, intercepting his plans as You did in the days of Elisha, when You revealed the secrets of the king of Syria to Your servant (2 Kings 6:12). Let Your angels encamp around those who fear You, delivering them from every snare and ambush of the enemy (Psalm 34:7).

We lift up the beautiful land and its people, asking for Your peace to reign where there is strife and Your order to replace chaos. Father, we pray for the salvation of all in authority, that they may come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved. "The Lord is not slow concerning His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). We ask that You would raise up godly leaders who fear You and seek Your wisdom, that righteousness may flourish and the Gospel may advance unhindered.

We resist the devil and his schemes, knowing that he is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). We declare that he has no authority over the lives of Your children, and we command every spirit of darkness to flee in the name of Jesus. "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7). We praise You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and trustworthiness. You hear our prayers and answer them according to Your perfect will. We thank You in advance for the victories You will bring, for the lives that will be saved, and for the peace that will come as a result of our intercession.

Father, we ask that You would lead our nation, our troops, and our leaders away from temptation and deliver them from evil. "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13). Strengthen the hands of Your holy angels to war on behalf of Your people, that the enemy’s plans would be exposed and defeated. Let Your name be praised from the rising of the sun to its setting, for You alone are worthy of all glory, honor, and power (Psalm 113:3).

We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom be all praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

We were so encouraged to read your faithful intercession for generals, troops, and all who carry authority, and for peace and open doors for the gospel to go forward. Thank you for bringing these heavy burdens to the Lord so consistently and with such care for both our nation and for people in other lands.

Carrying so many names and needs at once can feel weighty. What has sustained many believers over time is not praying perfectly or covering everything every day, but simply remaining steady, coming before the Father, resting in His presence, and knowing others are joining with you in prayer as well. Your prayers matter, and God hears them.

One simple way to keep this intercession sustainable is to keep a short written list of the groups most on your heart, leaders, service members, pastors, those who protect free speech and the press, and lift one or two before the Lord each day as He brings them to mind, trusting Him with the rest rather than feeling you must carry it all at once.

Father, we lift to You those in authority and those who serve in our armed forces. Grant them wisdom, clear judgment, and protection, and surround them with Your care. Restrain evil and confusion, and grant peace where possible so that lives may be lived in quiet dignity and Your good news may be freely proclaimed. Guide us all to seek You more deeply. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your burden before the throne is a right and scriptural one, and we do join you in it with thanksgiving. The apostle exhorts that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour who will have all men to be saved and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

We take up this proclamation which is the message of a King, and where the word of a King is there is power. The Gospel is in itself a glorious light, the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, and it is in itself most plain and clear. It contains nothing which need perplex any soul that desires to apprehend it, for it declares that God has come among men in the person of His Son, and that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. This mystery is to be published to every creature under heaven, for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. We have nothing to do with making men believe, ours is to testify of Christ everywhere, to preach and to proclaim the Gospel to all men, and to adorn that Gospel by holiness, by integrity, by patience and by a cheerful hope.

In this confidence we lift up our voices together:

O Lord God, who sittest upon the throne and rulest over the kingdoms of men, we entreat Thee for wisdom and guidance for all who bear authority and who bear arms. Grant wisdom to the Commander in Chief, to the Joint Chiefs, to generals, to corporals and sergeants, and to every soldier and sailor who stands in harm's way. Grant wisdom to presidents and vice presidents, to secretaries, to justices of the Supreme Court, to senators and representatives, and to all in authority in this land and in every land. Give unto them counsel that is sound, judgment that is just, and hearts that seek peace when and where it may be had for the sake of order and for the furtherance of Thy Gospel.

We pray for the protection of our troops and for all who serve, by land and by sea, for captains and crews and for those who watch in lonely places. Let the angel of the Lord encamp round about them that fear Thee and deliver them. We ask that Thou wouldst set Thy heavenly messengers to keep them, as it is written that Thou givest Thine angels charge over Thy people, and that Thou wouldst restrain the spirits of darkness and the wicked schemes of evil men. As Thou didst reveal the counsels of the king of Syria to Elisha, and as Thou didst warn David of the evil intended against him, so we pray Thee to intercept evil plans, to bring the devices of the violent to confusion, and to lead our leaders not into temptation but to deliver them from evil.

We pray for the preservation of peace and of that liberty by which the Gospel may have free course. Grant that free speech and a free press may be kept from corruption and from tyranny, and that good government may arise, that commerce may be open and honest, and that above all the preaching of the cross may remain legal and open and effectual. For we desire not peace merely for ease, but that the glorious Gospel of the blessed God may be proclaimed without hindrance, that sinners may hear that there is an accepted year and a day of salvation, and that whosoever will may come and return unto Thee and find mercy, for Thou delightest in mercy.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against wicked spirits in high places. Clothe Thy people and those in authority with truth and righteousness, and strengthen holy purpose in them. Let praise and prayer arise from Thy church continually with all manner of prayer, that the light of Thy Gospel may dawn upon blinded eyes, for if our Gospel be hid it is hid to them that are lost whom the god of this world hath blinded. Remove that veil, O Lord, and cause the light to shine.

We offer these prayers, petitions and thanksgivings before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Saviour, through whom alone is salvation, trusting that Thou hearest the fervent prayer of the righteous and that Thou art faithful. Let Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.
