We lift our voices together in prayer for America, her leaders, and all who dwell within her borders. Father God, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking Your divine wisdom and guidance for this nation. The scriptures remind us in Proverbs 2:6-7, "For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright." Lord, we ask that You would pour out Your wisdom upon those who lead this country. May they seek Your face and walk in the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).
We are deeply concerned, Father, for those in positions of authority who profess to be Christians yet do not walk in godliness. We pray that You would convict their hearts and draw them back to a sincere and devoted relationship with You. Let them not be like those described in Titus 1:16, "They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work." Instead, may they be examples of Your love, truth, and righteousness, leading with integrity and humility.
For the dilemma facing our family regarding the current events in America, we ask for Your clarity and wisdom. The world is filled with confusion and strife, but Your Word assures us in James 1:5, "But 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." Guide our steps, Lord, and help us to discern Your will in these turbulent times. May we not be swayed by the shifting tides of culture but stand firm on the unchanging truth of Your Word.
We also lift up the people of this nation and the world, praying that hearts would be turned toward You. The problems we face—whether in America or abroad—can only truly be solved when people come to know You as their Lord and Savior. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray for a great awakening, that many would hear the gospel, repent of their sins, and place their faith in Christ alone for salvation. May Your Spirit move powerfully, drawing the lost to Yourself and transforming lives by the power of the cross.
Lord, we confess that our hope does not rest in governments, leaders, or human wisdom, but in You alone. We trust in Your sovereignty and Your perfect plan, even when the world around us seems chaotic. Strengthen our faith, renew our minds, and fill us with Your peace as we navigate these challenging times. May we be salt and light in this nation, reflecting Your love and truth in all that we do.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who reigns forever and ever. Amen.
