Prayer For Our President and Our Government
Father, in
Jesus’ Name, I give thanks for our country and its
government. I hold up in prayer before You the men and women who
are in positions of authority. I pray and intercede for the
President, the
Representatives, the Senators, the Judges of our land, the
Police force, as well as the Governors and Mayors, and for all
those who are in authority over us in any way. I pray that the
Spirit of the Lord rests upon them.
I believe
that skillful and godly wisdom has entered into the heart of our
President and knowledge is pleasant to him. Discretion watches
over him; understanding keeps him and delivers him from the way
of evil and from evil men.
Father, I
ask that You compass the President about with men and women who
make their hearts and ears attentive to godly counsel and do
that which is right in Your sight. I believe You cause them to
be men and women of integrity who are obedient concerning us
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty. I pray that the upright shall dwell in our government .
. . That men and women blameless and complete in Your sight,
Father, shall remain in these positions of authority; but the
wicked shall be cut off of our government and the treacherous
shall be rooted out of it.
Your Word
declares that “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord . .
.” I receive Your blessing. Father, You are my refuge and
stronghold in times of trouble (high cost, destitution and
desperation). So I declare with my mouth that Your people dwell
safely in this land and I
prosper
abundantly. I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus!
It is
written in Your Word that the heart of the king is in the hand
of the Lord and you turn it whichever way You desire. I believe
the heart of our leader is in Your hand and that his decisions
are divinely directed of the Lord.
I give
thanks unto You that the good news of the gospel is published in
our land. The Word of the Lord prevails and grows mightily in
the hearts and lives of the people. I give thanks for this land
and the leaders You have given to us, in Jesus’ Name.
Jesus is Lord over the United States of America!
