City, State and National Leaders, No. 1

***That our city, state and national leaders would be presented with the Gospel and loving Christian witness.

Romans 10:14
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?”

Please pray with me:

Father in heaven,
Gracious and glorious are You, the God of the universe. You are ever present, all knowing, and all powerful. You hold our existence. Father, Your Word tells that the battle is not against flesh and blood.

Ephesians 6:12
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

May believers confess and repent of our failure to cover these officials in prayer. May we take ownership that You have given us the tools to fight for right and we have failed to use them to ensure the government of our land is protected. Forgive us. Raise us up in prayer and encourage us. Flood our minds daily with prayers for these officials. And at every level of government, may we surround them with Your witness that the Gospel is true and that You, our loving God, will hear our prayers. Encourage and strengthen us for this battle.

Our government leaders are all under attack. The enemy, Satan, wants the power and control that these servants wield from their offices. Protect them from the thoughts and motivations that the enemy would put in their minds. May the filth of these enticements be a disgusting taste in the minds of these leaders. Father, when they make decisions, fill their mind with the goodness of Your direction. May they see a better way. And then, grant them the strength to do the right thing.

Please find ways to demonstrate to them that You are Truth, that You are the self-existent, ever-present, all knowing God and they will stand before You for every thought, word and action that they have, speak or take. Strike down self-serving motivations! May this change and this strength within them cause them to wonder. As they see other officials at every level of government making better decisions, may they wonder. May they question their thoughts and decisions and desire a better way…Your way.

Grant these men and women an insatiable hunger and thirst to do “right” …may it startle them, may it perplex their mind and open their heart. And in that moment of openness may there be Your Word, Your Gospel, Your Love. Send an experience of Your presence to them in a way that they may believe. Would it be a loving testimony of a Christian witness? Would it be multiple experiences? Then pile them on!

Father, have mercy. These people are under such attack. Raise up an army of believers who will plead Your Word and Your protection over these public servants. May they quickly become servants of the Most High God. Father, use these people to change our land. Show us this path.

In Jesus’ Name.
