We join with you in lifting up the leaders of our nation and the world, recognizing that it is God who establishes authority and ordains power. First of all, we must acknowledge that our prayers are made possible only through the name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Without Him, our petitions would be in vain, for He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6).
Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and reverence, knowing that You are sovereign over all the earth. We lift up presidents, prime ministers, kings, and all those in authority, asking that You would grant them wisdom, humility, and a deep reverence for Your Word. May they lead with integrity, seeking Your will above all else, that we may live quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and dignity (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Lord, we know that this pleases You, for You desire all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
We pray for the fostering of godly alliances between free nations, that they may stand together in righteousness and truth. Raise up leaders who will uphold justice, defend the innocent, and promote the values of Your Kingdom. May their decisions reflect Your heart, and may they be guided by Your Spirit in every matter. We ask that You would diminish the influence of evil alignments and break the power of false teachings that seek to lead people astray. Let the light of Your Gospel shine brightly, that all nations may hear the truth of Jesus Christ, the true Messiah, and turn to Him in repentance (Matthew 28:18-20).
We thank You for those leaders who endeavor to govern with honesty and a biblical worldview. Strengthen them, Lord, and protect them from the schemes of the enemy. May they be like channels of water in Your hand, directed by Your sovereign will (Proverbs 21:1). We acknowledge that You sit in the heavens and do whatever pleases You (Psalm 115:3), and we trust in Your perfect plan, knowing that You work all things after the counsel of Your will (Ephesians 1:11).
We put on the full armor of God, standing firm against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:10-13). We ask for Your loving-kindness and truth to surround our leaders, and we pray for angelic protection over them and their families. Guard them from the attacks of the enemy, and let no harm come to them as they seek to serve You (Psalm 91:10-11). We thank You for the angels You have sent to minister to those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14).
Lord, we also pray for the hearts of these leaders. Soften those who are hardened, open the eyes of those who are blind to Your truth, and draw them to Yourself. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that true peace and righteousness can reign. We ask that You would raise up godly advisors and counselors around them, that they may be surrounded by wisdom and truth.
We confess that our hope is not in the strength of men but in You alone. You are our refuge and our fortress, and we trust in Your unfailing love. May Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We thank You for hearing our prayers and for the privilege of interceding on behalf of those in authority. May Your name be glorified in all the earth, and may Your Gospel continue to advance until every nation has heard the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We urgently offer "petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings," for presidents, prime ministers, kings and "all in authority, that we might lead a quiet life in all godliness and dignity, knowing this pleases You, our Savior, who desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth," 1 Tm 2:1-4. We ask for the fostering of godly alliances between free countries, for wisdom, humility and promotion to be a godly strengthening of international alliances. We pray for the diminished influence of evil alignments, the eradication of false prophecy and teaching and for the furtherance of free speech and publication, that the Gospel of Jesus, the True Messiah, His Kingdom and all He commanded might lead to repentance and making disciples of nations throughout the world, Matt 28:18-19, 20. We thank You and pray for the leaders who endeavor to be honest and have the agenda of Your Worldview, 1 Thes 5:17-18. We also thank You for those leaders You have allowed to be in power, Rom 13:1, and ask they be as channels of water in the hand of the Lord, Prov 21:1, knowing You sit in the heavens, and do whatever You please, Ps 115:3. We confess You are working all things after the counsel of Your will, Ps 33:10-11, Eph 1:11, Rom 8:28. We put on Your Armor, Eph 6:10-11, 12, 13, asking for loving-kindness, truth and angelic protection for them all, protecting them and ourselves from the serpent and his fallen angels, Dan 10:12-13, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14, thank You in Jesus' Name...
