Heavenly Father,
I lift up to You my country, [insert your country], and its leaders in this time of great need. Your Word says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12), and so I come before You, asking that You pour out Your blessings upon our land. Guide our leaders with Your wisdom, Lord, and give them hearts that seek justice, peace, and righteousness.
Grant our leaders discernment to make decisions that honor You and serve the common good. May they be filled with compassion for the weak, integrity in their actions, and courage to stand for what is right. Your Word instructs us, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:1-2). I pray this today for my nation and its leaders.
Lord, I also ask for Your hand of protection and peace over the world. In these troubled times, bring healing where there is conflict, hope where there is despair, and unity where there is division. Help us to be instruments of Your peace, shining Your light in the darkness. As You have promised, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Father, may Your will be done in [insert your country] and across the world, and may Your peace reign in every heart.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.
