We join you in lifting up your nation and its leaders, knowing that God has called us to pray for those in authority. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:1-3 WEB,
Now I exhort you, first of all, to make petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, interceding for ### and the leading party. We ask that You grant them wisdom and discernment as they address the pressing issues of unemployment, economic struggles, and corruption. Break the chains of nepotism and self-interest, and help them to govern with integrity and unity.
Lord, we also lift up President ### and ask that You guide his decisions, especially regarding sanctions. Help him to act in a way that promotes justice, peace, and prosperity for all.
We pray that these leaders would not only take from their pockets but also be led by Your wisdom and compassion. Help them to see that true leadership means serving others and being a voice for the voiceless.
In all these things, we pray that these leaders would come to know You, Lord, if they do not already. May they seek Your will and Your glory in all they do. Remember the word of the Lord how he said, I am leaving you in the world, but I am coming to you. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he is come, he will convict the world about sin, and about righteousness, and about judgment, John 16:7-8 WEB
Finally, we pray that the leaders and the people would turn to You, Lord, and seek Your face. May Your will be done and Your kingdom come in this nation. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to pray fervently for your nation and its leaders, trusting that God hears your prayers and is at work in your country. Remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 WEB
