We join with you, Tovrun, in lifting up the leaders of all nations, petitioning that God draws them to righteousness in the mighty name of Jesus. It is so important that we intercede for our leaders, as their decisions greatly impact the lives of countless people.
The Scriptures remind us:
First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. This is good, and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 WEB
In praying for our leaders, we are also reminded that:
There is no authority except from God, and those which exist are ordained by God. Romans 13:1b WEB
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the leaders of all nations. We ask that You draw them to righteousness, that they would seek Your face and be guided by Your wisdom. Help them to lead with integrity, justice, and compassion. We pray that You would surround them with godly counsel and protect them from evil influences.
We pray for the salvation of our leaders, that they would come to the knowledge of the truth. We ask that Your will be done in each nation, and that Your kingdom would come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Help us, as Your people, to be lights in our own communities, reflecting Your love and truth to those around us. Give us opportunities to share the gospel and make disciples, that the nations may be glad and sing for joy. Psalm 67:4 WEB
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to pray fervently for your leaders, Tovrun.
