1 Peter 3:8-11Please pray with me:
8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
Heavenly Father,
This nation is divided in so many ways —from families to our national government. This is not Your will. Surely, we have lost sight of Your will and daily seek our own. Open our eyes, let us all be dismayed at our choices and seek You. May we confess our sin and repent of our ways that You can forgive us and heal our land.
For Family leadership:
Father, our families have fallen apart. The very definition of the family has been transformed from Your plan to that which openly defies the natural perfection of Your order. I repent from turning away. I repent of thinking that I can not participate or have voice...for You have opened the throne of heaven to have voice before You. You are the One that can change this nation. I ask it.
Uphold the definition of family. Raise up families that honor You and may their light shine brightly amidst the confusion and silently shout, "Here is the way! Walk ye in it!" May the family leadership be preserved and may it be a guiding light in every community. May every family leader be humble and seek Your will. Father, I ask a special blessing for those families that hold true to Your design and seek You.
I ask You to raise up this this grass-roots movement of leadership. May Your light in each household bring light to this nation once again.
For Business leaders:
You have blessed this nation and its economy when we honored Your clear direction on how to honorably conduct business. Thank You. As we have turned from Your ways to our own, You have extended Your grace and You have beckoned us to turn back to You. Yet we refuse to do so and we conduct our businesses as a means to exploit others, crushing employees and without thought to seek Your wisdom. We even persecute those businesses who hold firm to Your principles. Many businesses are pressured, even by our government, to turn from Your ways. And we deny that true success comes from You.
I confess that I have not done my part. I have not prayed for the business leaders in my community. I repent of thinking I can do nothing, when You open the gates to the Throne of Grace to me! You have promised to hear my words...I pray for these leaders, that they may see that all they have is Yours and they are stewards. Press them, encourage their spirits to seek You and turn to Your ways.
For Political leaders:
Father, we have not raised up leaders in this nation to be true servants of the people. From our families and daily living, we have not demonstrated that You are the Source of our blessing. Forgive us and illuminate our sin that we may see it, confess it, and repent.
What has been demonstrated in the home, the community and in daily living has so decayed, that now our national leaders are also self-serving, forgetting that they serve because YOU have appointed them. I have not prayed diligently for the leaders of this nation. I confess and repent. You have commanded that we pray for our leaders. Thank You.
I ask that You open their eyes to realize that true power comes from humility. Dismiss all arrogance from their hearts and minds. Touch them that they can listen with integrity and truly seek Your will and live by Your principles. Raise up leaders who know Your Word and resolve to live by it...that they may be a testimony that You are the One True and Living God.
Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.
In Jesus’ Name.
