Praying For Our Country's Leaders

Over the past several weeks as God continues to patiently remind me that He wants me to pray for our leaders--whether I voted for them or not--Scripture has been my guide as to how to pray according to His will and not my emotions or reasoning.

Job 29 has been a guide used thus far in addition to the verses shared in the January post.

Below is a sample of how those verses have been used.

Dear Lord,

May Your lamp shine over the head of our President and his Cabinet; and my Your light illuminate their path in the darkness.

 

May Godly wisdom flow through their minds and hearts, and fall from their lips.  May Your wisdom be received by the President and his Cabinet and others that hear them, see them, or are in their presence.

 

May others bless the President and his Cabinet.

 

May the President and his Cabinet help and deliver the poor, the fatherless, and he/she that has none to help them according to Your will.

 

May the President and his Cabinet break the jaws of the wicked with grace and truth and disperse their goods according to Your will, Lord.

 

May the President and Cabinet put on the robe of Godly righteousness and cast off pride, falsehood, and self-righteousness.

 

Unto the President and Cabinet, may men give ear, wait, and keep silent at Godly counsel they give.

 

May the President and Cabinet help men make Godly choices and sit as leaders according to Your will Lord.

 

May the President and his Cabinet give Godly comfort to mourners.

 

Just in case you would like to pray for the various leaders of our country by name, here are some the confirmed and maybe not as yet confirmed cabinet members plus Speaker of the House.

Pray for Our Country's Leaders in 2017

Looking for 164 People to Pray in 2017

1 Timothy 2:1-6

First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

Goal:  164 people (individuals or groups) to pray for our country’s leaders one hour per week for all of 2017. 

This blogspot will be a central location (virtual) to post time slots taken by prayer warriors, topics and perhaps specific leaders prayed for each week.

This is an evolving ministry, and I am taking it one day at a time as God leads.
