“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.”—Matthew 18:20
Topics to pray over:
- That godly lawmakers will lead our country, and those opposed to God’s ways will respond to God’s prompting and change their ways
- That the Church will stand courageous and follow the Lord’s voice above all else.
Prayer of agreement:
Heavenly Father, You are our ever-present help in time of need! We call on Your Name today, asking for Your help for our nation. We pray for the lawmakers who follow You; that they hear Your voice clearly, obey and make way for Your healing of this land. We also pray for those who don’t know You. May they come to know You personally, to discover a relationship with You, and change their ways. And for those who are hardhearted, Lord, we pray that You steer their hearts in the way they should go. We call for men and women of integrity and conviction, people who will obey Your voice above all else, to lead this nation in the way You would have it go, so that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives.
And we continue to pray for an awakening in Your Church, Lord. Stir up the Body of Christ to revive and take action in our nation, from the local to the federal level. Remove any fear or confusion the enemy has tried to sow among Your people. Help each of us to see the proactive stance You would have us take, led by Your Word. We refuse to lean on our own understanding, Lord; rather, we acknowledge You in all our ways, knowing You will make our paths straight. You are our Shepherd and we are Your sheep. We love You, Lord, and we put ALL our trust in You! In Jesus’ Name!
