Heavenly Father, thank You that You are a God Who hears and answers the prayers of Your children that are offered in humility of heart and a trusting, dependent faith. I lift up the leaders of our own nation and pray that You would hear my plea for godly leadership. Forgive us that as a nation, we have strayed so far from You. I ask that, in Your grace, You would give us leaders that trust Your name and honour Your laws. Lord, I acknowledge that until Jesus is reigning as King of kings, the world cannot live in peace and safety, but I pray that in Your grace, You would give us and our children - and our children's children, a quiet life in all godliness and dignity with leaders that will not compromise the truth of Your Word. This I ask in Jesus' name, AMEN.
Source: Verse of the day for 1 Timothy 2:2Lord God and Heavenly King, You alone are the Lord of the earth and King of the universe, and You alone can revive and restore the United States Of America and bring us back under Your own Sovereign rule.
Give our President, together with his advisors and the whole of his administration, the wisdom and grace to turn from the ungodly path that they are following, and may they set this nation back on the path of trusting in God.
Motivate all our congressmen to strive for integrity and wisdom in all the choices and decisions they make, and may those that are entrusted as judges and lawmakers, likewise act in righteousness, impartiality and integrity as they work for the benefit of all people, and to the honour of Your holy name.
Heavenly King, we place our nation at your feet, and pray that we may once again serve You as a nation. May Your will be done in the once greatest nation of the world, the United States of America.
Amen.
