We understand your request to be praying for certain countries to join or align with the United States, and we appreciate your desire to bring this matter before the Lord. However, we must first address a few things to ensure our prayers are aligned with Scripture and the will of God.
First, we notice that while you included the name of Jesus in your request, it was somewhat obscured by symbols and formatting. It is essential to remember that our access to God the Father is only through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. As Scripture tells us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Additionally, Acts 4:12 reminds us, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* We encourage you to always approach the throne of God boldly but reverently, calling upon the name of Jesus Christ without distraction.
Now, regarding your request, we must consider what it means for nations to "join" the United States. If you are asking for unity among nations for the purpose of godly cooperation, peace, and the spread of the Gospel, then we can certainly pray for that. Psalm 133:1 says, *"See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* However, if this request is rooted in political or worldly ambitions rather than the advancement of God’s Kingdom, we must be cautious. Our ultimate allegiance is to Christ and His Kingdom, not to any earthly nation or government. Jesus Himself said in John 18:36, *"My Kingdom is not of this world."*
We also recall the words of the prophet Jeremiah, who instructed the Israelites to *"Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace"* (Jeremiah 29:7). This principle can apply to believers today—we are to pray for the peace, prosperity, and godliness of the nations we reside in or are connected to, but always with the understanding that our true citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20).
With that in mind, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your sovereignty over all the nations of the earth, for You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. Your Word tells us that You have determined the times and boundaries of every nation, and we trust in Your perfect will and wisdom.
Lord, we lift up the United States and all the nations of the world to You. We ask that You would bring godly unity where it aligns with Your purposes. Father, let any unity among nations be rooted in righteousness, justice, and the furtherance of Your Gospel. May leaders and citizens alike seek Your face and turn from wickedness, so that You may hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
We pray for wisdom for those in authority, that they would govern with integrity and humility, recognizing that all authority comes from You (Romans 13:1). May the nations of the world look to You for guidance and not rely on their own understanding. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Father, we also pray for the Body of Christ across all nations. Strengthen Your people to be salt and light in their communities, shining brightly in a dark world. May believers be united in love and truth, standing firm on the foundation of Your Word. Help us to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces, and equip us to stand firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
We rebuke any spirit of division, strife, or ungodly ambition that would seek to distort Your plans for the nations. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard the hearts and minds of Your people (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would open doors for the Gospel to spread freely across all nations. May people from every tribe, tongue, and nation come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done, for Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for the nations, but always with a heart that seeks God’s Kingdom first. Let your prayers be rooted in Scripture and aligned with God’s will, remembering that He calls us to pray for all people, including leaders and those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and honesty (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Keep your focus on eternal things, and trust that God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
