Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the Christians in our country. We ask for Your divine protection over them, that they may be kept safe from harm and strengthened in their faith. As it is written in Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." May Your shield of protection be upon them, Lord.
We also pray for peace in our world, as You have instructed us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all peopleβfor kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." Grant wisdom to our leaders and guide them to make decisions that promote peace and harmony.
Furthermore, we lift up the climate of our world to You, Creator of all things. We ask for Your intervention in the environmental challenges we face. Help us to be good stewards of the earth, as You have commanded in Genesis 2:15, "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it."
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your mighty power and loving kindness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
