For godly counsel and God-fearing advisers for those in authority, No. 3

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

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

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,

You, O God of heaven and of earth. You are Authority. Lord Jesus Christ, all things have been put under Your feet. You are Authority. Thank You. Solidify; cement our understanding that You are the seat of power in our lives, in this nation, and in the world. You—who made the heavens and the earth are the foundation of all that exists and You have fashioned this earth that we might be blessed and have relationship with You. Thank You that You are a God who is for us, who wants only good for us and who desires to have relationship with us.

You have all authority, yet You give us free will and we have authority over our actions, our words, and especially our thoughts. Yet, we are weak. Our desires take over our thoughts and our actions. We do not have the self-control to remain pure as You intended. You knew this would happen and You provided Your own Son as our substitute for our sin, that Your authority could be ours. Thank You.

Lord Jesus Christ, You have given authority to all those who believe in You:

Luke 10:19
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We have Your authority. It is too much to understand. Nonetheless it is so. Teach us, during this tumultuous time how to use this authority that You have paid for. Give us an unction, move us, compel us to take this authority and to use for Your kingdom. We have the authority. Do we use it? Do we use it intentionally? Urgently? Help us Lord.

We are in authority, yet many of us are dormant. Many of us are paralyzed. Many of us are distracted. Forgive us.

Waken us to do Your will. We have the power and authority and keep it under our bed. Let our light so shine that others are drawn to it.

Father, we need God-fearing advisers. Our leaders need God-fearing counsel. Raise up Your choices in the eyes of our government officials to surround themselves with those to whom You have given spiritual authority. As elected officials choose their counselors, grant favor to Your choices. Align our local, state, and national leaders with God-fearing counsel from those who know Your Word.

Father, may this be a turnaround in this nation. Compel all of us, who are Yours, to become active and take a stand in the decision-making processes that direct our nation. Waken Your church to become the advisers to those who wield earthly power. Grant us relationship with those in authority over us, to become trusted. May we become known for our humility, our graciousness, our wisdom from above, and our genuine care for those around us.

Empower us. May we realize the importance of our urgent attention to this matter and seek You with great diligence to pray for our leaders, to serve with honor, and to seek You each day to use the authority and responsibility that You have given us.

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

In Jesus’ Name.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the day and for each person who has taken a position of authority, including our government, our schools, and our churches. I have trusted them to make godly decisions, but I have not prayed for their godly counsel. I have not asked for Your protection. Forgive me.

Father, these people must be barraged by the enemy. There must be defining chatter to them all day long. People with second agendas, self-serving, and desirous of influence. Protect these men and women. Give them discernment to the motivations of the people who approach them. Grant them a heart to serve, that they may stand before You, on that day, when they are called to make account.

Separate those individuals who would serve as godly advisors. Bring together an army of godly men and women, who are filled with godly counsel. May Your Spirit be upon them and may they hear clearly and advise soundly.

Raise up prayer warriors to cover those in authority with Your protection. I ask this also for their families. Protect their families and their contributions and presence to their spouses and children, so that they are not distracted when it is time make decisions.

May they recognize wise counsel, and treasure Your “wisdom from above.” May it be clear to them what is the direction that would be pleasing to You, and in the best interest of those who will be affected by their decisions. There are many who will administer these decisions. Grant them wisdom as well. And may this nation, once again be pleasing in Your sight.

In Jesus’ Name.
