For godly counsel and God-fearing advisers for those in authority, No. 2

*** That those in authority in our nation would be given godly counsel and God-fearing advisers.

Proverbs 24:6
For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counselors there is safety.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are consummate wisdom. You are not bound by time and You understand the future results of our actions. You graciously provided Your law that we would be protected and would know our shortcomings. Thank You.

We are shortsighted. We cannot know the results of our decision when we make them. And we are consumed with information and sometimes, we do not even recognize the results when they happen because we are so distracted. I have not taken time to listen to You as I should. I have not taken time to seek You carefully and then wait for Your response. nor have I diligently prayed for godly counsel for myself and those in authority. Forgive me.

Father, I seek You for godly counsel. As this nation is at the greatest crossroads in its history, as it responds to the ungodly decisions that have been made; that have ramifications...grant us godly advisers. As we look to the future, near and far, and make decisions, may we discern the godly counsel from the deluge of information. We can not do this without Your help.

Father, we are now in a place where the consequences of our decisions of the past are hard upon us. I cower within myself that I have not prayed for those in authority. Yet, I now repent and search You, O God, for God-fearing advisers in this nation.

Grant us hope. Grant us a resurgence of prayer, of seeking You, and to revive our trust in who You are and in Your Word. Our leaders need Your Holy Spirit. They need to know that their decisions must not be made on their own. May those in authority seek You diligently. May they surround themselves with god-fearing mentors.

Father, You are our only hope. Draw us to hope in You. Raise up an army of prayer warriors to seek You daily on behalf of those who make decisions, those who lead, those who advise.

Cause our leaders and those in authority to find a quiet place where they can meet with You and seek Your guidance. Grant them discernment to know who is giving godly advice and who is not. Once the path is evident, give them strength to carry through. Surround them with the support needed, especially with regard to the media. Father, may our leaders and those in authority not be alone. Surround them with those of Your choosing.

In Jesus’ Name.
