Father God, in the name of Jesus, we lift up Claract's prayer request before you. We pray for our leaders who desire to govern our country. May they be chosen according to your divine plans and purposes, so that the people of our nation may experience the blessings and provision that come from your hands. Grant them wisdom, integrity, and a heart to serve the people with humility and righteousness.
Lord, we also pray for the safety and protection of our church. Shield it from any harm or danger that may come its way. Surround it with your divine presence and cover it with your mighty hand of protection. May our church be a beacon of light and hope in our community, shining forth your love and truth.
We thank you, Jesus, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness in answering them. May your will be done in our nation and in our church. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
