Many people seem to be filled with distress and anxiety as they face the reality of what is happening in America and around the world. Without a doubt, our world is in need of fervent and consistent prayer. There is nothing more important than prayer in the life of a follower of Christ. Our prayers birth God’s promises and help bring forth His will. As we pray, we are partnering with Christ to help build His kingdom on the earth.
Recently, I have witnessed God’s people praying more consistently and passionately than ever before. I have been in awe as I’ve watched the church arise. A portion of the body of Christ has been fully awakened and has begun praying with tremendous fervency. I believe a remnant of the worldwide church has risen up and we are all praying in unison. It is so beautiful and surreal to watch the end time army in action. With a heart of gratitude for answered prayers, I weep tears of joy every time I witness the body of Christ coming together to pray.
In the midst of the chaos that’s happening, Jesus is the world’s only hope.
Let’s continue to pray for each one of our countries, our cities, and the leaders of the world.
A Prayer for God-Appointed Leaders
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the good plans and vision You have for our nation. We are asking You to keep Your hand firmly placed upon our country. Heal our land and let our nation be filled with Your glory and light. I trust You to turn things around in our cities and let Your chosen ones be elected as our leaders. We believe it is Your desire for us to elect leaders who will support Israel and support our values. We are grateful our nation was founded upon Your truth, and we are asking You to appoint the leaders who will help support the foundation of our biblical principles. We know that it is You alone who can do miracles, and we trust You to carry our nation out of the darkness and into Your marvelous light. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)
A Prayer for Peace to Cover Our Cities
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being our peace-giver. We know that You are watching our world from above and You can see the turmoil that is happening. We are asking You to cover our cities with Your peace and we trust You to bring an end to the violence in our neighborhoods during the days ahead. We are decreeing the blood of Jesus Christ over our nation and asking You to protect our cities from devastation or destruction. Keep Your hand upon our nation and bring salvation to millions of souls and let our communities be filled with songs of praise. Let the body of Christ continue to arise in fervent prayer until we see Your kingdom come and Your will be done on the earth as it is in HEAVEN. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
“Violence will not be heard again in your land, nor devastation or destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls salvation, and your gates praise.”
Isaiah 60:18
A Prayer for Unity in the Worldwide Church
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for loving us with an everlasting love and for filling us with eternal peace and joy. Let a spirit of unity fall upon the church to replace a spirit of dissension. Let God’s people walk in love toward each other and walk in authority all over the earth. Let us, the body of Christ, keep our eyes continually fixed upon You and help us carry out the great commission. Let us be humble and gentle with one another and let the fruit of the Spirit grow daily in each of our lives. Help us to walk in the truth continually and let us pray for those who do not know the truth. Clothe us in humility and let our love for one another be what draws lost souls into Your kingdom. Bring perfect unity in the body of Christ and let every member of Your church put away childish differences and truly begin to serve You with one heart and one mouth. Above all, let us love You with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind, and let us love our neighbor as ourselves. We love You and we are eagerly waiting for Your return. We pray in Christ’s name. Amen.
“Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that with one purpose and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Romans 15:5-6
May Christ bless you and keep you in the shadow of His wings.
