Prayer for Our Country

Lord, please guide the head of our nation in the way You would have him go.  Give him spiritual, physical and mental strength to fulfill his responsibilities.  Please give him the courage to stand up for his convictions.  Give him patience and peace to endure the pressures of his job.  Please help him to be resolute and determined to do what is right.  Grant him wisdom and insight concerning the decisions he will have to make.  Please give him boldness to lead with integrity and honor.  Give him discernment, understanding and knowledge so that our nation will know stability.  Surround him with wise counsel, godly men and women of integrity who place your agenda and the good of this nation and its people above their own; people whose motives are pure, honest and trustworthy.  Please work in and through his leadership so that we might lead peaceable lives in godliness and honesty.

Please allow our government to make laws that are just by Your power.  Please give our leaders wisdom to make decisions that would strengthen and prosper our nation.  Enlighten them with Truth so that they might make the right decisions concerning the politics, social welfare and the economics of our nation.  Lord, I pray that You help the leaders of our country put aside their personal and partisan agendas and work together and with others for the good of our nation and its people.  Help them to work with the president so together they can introduce and pass legislation that strengthens our nation and supports godly values.  Lord, I pray for revival to spread like wildfire across our land.  Draw our representatives closer to You.  Please give them courage to vote their convictions.  Allow them to be a bold witness for You.  For those of our leaders who do not know You, I pray that their eyes would be opened and their hearts would turn to You.

Lord, I thank you for a nation that was built upon Truth and godly principles.  God, please forgive our nation's sin.  Please help us honor You once again.  Lord, please bring spiritual revival to our nation and its leaders.  I pray that our leaders seek Your counsel and wisdom concerning the issues that face our nation.  Please pour out Your Spirit across this nation.  Allow the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to come into every state, every city, every home and every heart.  Father God, please deliver us from our sins and restore our heritage of faith.  Please place a desire to pray for our nation within the heart of every Christian.  I pray that our nation's Christians remain faithful and elect godly officials.  Please help us regain the position of a godly nation once again.

Lord, please continue to watch over us and protect us from evil.  We thank you for Your blessings and Your provisions.  These things in Jesus' name, I pray.  Amen.
