from American Prayer Initiative - October 4th - Leaders Suggested Scriptural references ... First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all those who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 1Timothy 2:1 The king’s heart is like a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He will. Proverbs 21:1 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the one to whom we are accountable. Hebrews 4:13 We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer. People may be pure in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their motives. Proverbs 16:1-2 Suggested prayers ... Please give our leaders ears to hear Your wisdom and guidance ~ and the discernment, courage and strength to carry out Your direction. We ask, Father, for You to move their hearts to honor You as their highest Authority. We pray for wisdom and strength for the President, his cabinet, his administration and his family. We ask that Your Holy wisdom penetrate the thoughts and decision making processes of those in positions of authority. Help all those in authority to recognize they are accountable first to You. We ask You to instill in our leaders an awareness of the Godly heritage of this country and their responsibility before You to honor and preserve it. We ask for leaders in all walks of life who sincerely hunger for truth and strive for sacred honor in all they think, say and do. We ask You to guide and guard their motives, desires and plans. We ask You to move in the hearts of many who know that service to You can be anywhere – even under a Capitol dome. We ask You to raise up Godly leaders who desire principle over politics. We ask for servant-leaders who desire to be statesmen over politicians. We ask for You to prosper and give favor to those who are truly devoted to You, that they may grow in influence and effectiveness. We ask for Your transforming power to work in the lives of those who would deceive, divide and destroy. We ask for religious leaders who understand You and are devoted to Your Truth and proclaim it boldly. Sovereign God of all creation. In the great scheme of things, we Americans are a small 5-6% of all people in Your world. And yet You have so richly rewarded America with Your blessings. An America that started out firmly planted on Your foundation. We pray now, O Father, for this country to rise from the ashes of having left You behind. We ask for a Godly nation once again led by men and women who love you. We ask you to transform the hearts of those who serve as leaders, but dont know or honor You as Sovereign. Please make yourself known to them, beloved Father.
