We join with you, Sanjoy, in praying for the citizens everywhere, that their rights may be preserved and that they may live peacefully and free from fear. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 16:33 (WEB), "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior. We lift up the citizens of the world, asking that you would protect and preserve their rights. We pray for governments and those in authority, that they would act with justice, mercy, and the fear of God. We ask that you would bring peace to areas of conflict and unrest, and that your comfort would be with those who are suffering. Help us, as your children, to be salt and light in this world, to stand for righteousness and truth, and to share the love of Christ with those around us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Sanjoy, to continue praying for the world, remembering the words of Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people: for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence."
Keep trusting in the power of prayer and the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB).
