Scripture calls God’s people to pray continually “for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life” (1 Tim. 2:2). It is especially important to follow this command in times of both internal and external instability. At present, the U.S. government is going through a challenging period, shaped by military tensions in the Middle East and a complex global and domestic political situation.
Let us come together in prayer to the Lord:
- That He would grant humility and a reverent fear of God to the leaders of our nation.
- For wisdom from above and clear guidance for the President and all those in positions of authority.
- For a right understanding of the purpose of government to be God’s servant for our good, and an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer (Rom. 13:4).
- For the protection of our country from external threats, wars, and internal unrest.
- That in every circumstance, God’s people would see the hand of our sovereign Lord, who governs history according to His perfect plan and works all things for His glory.
