For God-fearing, Accountable Leaders of Action, No. 3

*** That our leaders would be god-fearing and recognize that they are accountable to Him for each decision and act.

Proverbs 9:10
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You that You are Truth, You are wisdom and understanding. Thank You that You have not kept Yourself from us. Your Word is readily available and You reveal Yourself to us. You have not kept Your intentions from us and eagerly beckon us to come before Your presence.

Forgive us when the busy-ness of the day has stolen our time to seek You in Your Word and in prayer. Forgive us for not upholding our leaders in prayer. Forgive us for allowing our fervency to seek You has grown cold. We have dismissed Your presence, ignored Your warnings, falsely believed that we can run our lives, our nation without You. Forgive our foolish ways.

Lord Jesus, You are just and You will deliver justice. Thank You ...that You give hope to whom justice is denied. Thank You that we will be held accountable to You for all that we do, for every decision, for every action and even every thought.

2 Corinthians 5:10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Our nation's leaders need Your wisdom and Your understanding to make good decisions. We cannot have the insight needed to understand the issues that we face, never mind the ramifications of our decisions.

We need You, even in our seemingly trivial daily lives. How much more so do our leaders need You. The town, state and national level...leaders at every post need You. Turn their hearts to You. May every civic and political leader delight in finding You each day. May they each take the time to seek You in Your Word, to spend time with You in prayer, and to discern Your voice and guidance as they make decisions.

Dismiss the lies that we are capable. Evaporate the cloud of delusion that we have wisdom of our own. Turn our hearts, that we may earnestly seek You.

Father, may each leader, regardless of the level, carry a weight in their conscience regarding their decisions. May they have understanding, beforehand, of the impact that their decisions will have on people. May this realization cause them to pause and realize their impotence to understand within themselves, and may they seek You.

Reveal Yourself to them. Open their minds and hearts to acknowledge Your goodness, Your desire to help and Your presence, knowledge and understanding of their situation. Reveal Your love for them in such a way that they would humbly reach out to You for insight, strength, and courage. ...and may they make godly decisions.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
