For leaders to be prepared to give an account to Almighty God

***That our leaders would be prepared to give an account to Almighty God

Hebrews 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the opportunity to pray for our leadership. Draw Your church together for this purpose and fill us with a diligence and urgency. Help us to understand the disdain that You have for sin and that our leaders are targeted by enemy. Draw us to prayer. Help us to understand how critical it is for us to seek You in prayer on behalf of these men and women. Grant us a deep discernment.

There are so many leaders in our lives:

• Our political leadership challenges our nation. Father, it is hard to know what to pray.
• Our societal leaders seem bent on embracing every sexual perversion and making it legal. Those who oppose challenged to not only agree with it, but also to affirm the behaviors.
• Our business leaders struggle to keep their jobs under the pressure of increased revenue...greed has taken over.
• Our educational leadership strives to please society and teach political correctness rather than spiritual integrity.
• Many church leaders have fallen away from Your Word and have brought perversion int Your church.

These men and women will eventually stand before You and make account of their lives, their decisions, their motives.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.

Give them a heart for accountability. Help them to live with this truth that they will stand before You and may this be foremost in their minds. This message impacts our lives at every level from the food and clothing we buy to the laws under which we live. Father, I acknowledge that this battle is not against flesh and blood.

Ephesians 6:12
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.

So truly, Christians have the government we deserve. We know there is more to this than what we see in the physical. Forgive us for our lack of diligence. Father, You have commanded us to pray for our leaders and we will stand to give account as well.

1 Timothy 2:2
1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

We need Your Holy Spirit to fill us. Pour out a spirit of integrity and dignity. Wash us thoroughly—every particle of our being: physical, emotional, spiritual— that we may understand cleanliness through the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Humble us, Father, that our eyes may be opened and we may see our sin. I ask this for Your church and for our leaders.

Forgive us for the degeneration of our appetites. Our appetite for entertainment, for sexual perversion, and leaders who entice us to bargain with truth. Help us to reset our thinking and the direction of our lives.

You are the Creator and You have made us in Your image. Grant our leaders new creative solutions that would be honorable to You. Father, the U.S. society has become corrupt. Forgive us for ignoring it. And now there is a penalty for taking a stand for truth and justice. So we need strength, resolve, and a spirit of sacrifice if we are going to stand according to Your Word.

We cannot do this without You but all things are possible with You. Raise us up to know and believe that You are are our hope. Grant us the resolve to stand strong and fix our gaze on the day of our accountability before You. Fill us with a deep joy that our standing before You is all that matters. May this flood through this nation. May leaders from every crevice of society, from the POTUS to the lowest manager, be diligent. Truly this could change our nation.

With You, all things are possible. Have mercy, O God of mercy.

In Jesus’ Name.
