Let us come together and lift up our country and sub-region to the Lord in prayer, seeking His will and intervention in all matters. We stand united in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we can saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Firstly, we pray for peace in our country and sub-region. We rebuke the spirit of war and conflict, and we ask God to grant our leaders the wisdom and discernment to maintain peace. As the Scriptures tell us in Psalm 34:14 WEB:
"Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it."
We also lift up our leaders, asking God to guide them so that they may lead with integrity, righteousness, and godly wisdom. We pray that they would be surrounded by wise counsel and that they would seek God's will in all decisions. As we are reminded in Romans 13:1 WEB:
"Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God."
We ask the Lord to bless our economy, and we pray for prosperity and contentment for all people. We pray that God would give our leaders and those in authority over the finances of our country. We remember the words of Matthew 6:33 WEB:
"But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
We also pray for security and protection over our land. We ask God to strengthen our borders and to protect our people from all forms of harm and danger. As Psalm 91:1-2 WEB promises us:
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
Lastly, let us remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, and our true hope lies in Jesus Christ. We pray that more people in our country would come to know Him as their Lord and Savior, and that the Gospel would spread throughout our land. As written in Philippians 3:20-21 WEB:
"For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself."
Father, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. We thank You for hearing our prayers and for being faithful to answer according to Your will. Amen.
Eldiuwood, thank you for your request. Let us continue to stand together in prayer, trusting that God hears our petitions and that He is faithful to act on our behalf. Be encouraged and remain steadfast in faith.
