Join Me and Let Us Pray for Our Nation

We may not like the leaders in charge and that is okay, we still need to pray for them.

As time moves on it is becoming increasingly clear that this NEW President will need all the prayers we can give up for him. He is NOT a politician nor does he claim to be a Christian,  therefore he could very well lead this country into destruction. I am not saying we have to like him, because God knows I do not like nor do I have any respect for the man, however as a Man of God I am admonished by the Most High God to Pray for him and that I am willing to do. 

If we are obedient to the Word of God and Pray for our leaders, then God can move on our behalf and heal our Land. 

Let us make it a point to do as the Scripture says and stand together as Believers and PRAY for OUR GREAT NATION and the Leaders, so we can see the Hand of God. God can change the VILEST of Hearts if we pray for them. Let’s put our personal feelings aside about Trump/Pence and the rest of the leaders and stand together in agreement on God’s Promise. 

We are to learn from the words of Ezekiel 22:30, "I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one."

We are to be those who stand in the gap, who lift up our nation with all it favors and faults before the throne of God, and pray that He continues to work in our midst.

Scriptures to pray for ourselves:

I Timothy 2:1-2 - I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—  for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

I Peter 2:17 - Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.

Romans 13:1 - Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

Jeremiah 29:7 - Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.

II Chronicles 7:14 - if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Scriptures to Pray for our Leaders:

Psalms 2:10-11 - Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.  Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.

Proverbs 11:14 - For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers.

Proverbs 21:1 - The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.

Job 12:23-25 - He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them.

Proverbs 2:1-8 - My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you,  turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.

May we be faithful, informed and thoughtful when praying and talking to others about our politics, and as we ask for God's wisdom and righteousness to be evident in our nation's policies and leaders.

Blessings and Peace,
