Join me in praying for world leaders: Leaders of the World’s Nations World See Prayer Information Political changes in the world occur so rapidly that the names of leaders have generally not been included in the text for individual countries. Yet these leaders need prayer, as the Scriptures exhort us (1 Samuel 12:23, 1 Timothy 2:1-4). The following websites provide up-to-date lists of leaders, information on government and titular rulers, cabinet members and regional leaders: rulers.org Lists heads of state and heads of government for all countries and territories. https://cia.gov/library/publications/world-leaders-1 Maintained by the CIA (USA). As pressures on world leaders increase, so do the uncertainties and dangers in the 21st Century. The ones who lead us need special prayer. Pray specifically for: Challenges for Prayer Good and just rulers to be raised up. In many instances in history, God has used rulers, whether believers or not, to accomplish His purposes on Earth, for example Cyrus in the Persian Empire. Neither the collapse of Communism nor the spread of democratic governmental systems has ended tyrannies, autocratic power-seekers or corrupt, greedy dictators. Pray that those who are unfit to rule their lands may repent and change (as did Nebuchadnezzar) – or be removed (as were Pharaoh and Belshazzar). Those who face major crises. The challenges facing 21st-Century leaders are of an altogether different nature from those of even 50 years ago. As the world becomes more interconnected, crises of many kinds – economic, political, ecological, demographic, military and others – trouble our nations with accelerating frequency. Pray for courage to make right decisions, however unpopular. Compromise of ideals and failure to take decisive action in order to maintain popularity or power are ever-present temptations.
