Prayer Focus: Leaders of Governments Around the World.

Prayer Focus: Leaders of Governments Around the World.

 

THIS WEEK’S PRAYER FOCUS: Pray for the leaders of governments around the world.  God is the Almighty King, raising and lowering world powers in accordance with His perfect will (Prob. 21:1, Ps. 2:10-12, Isa. 45: 1-7). Pray that current leaders might be amenable to the free exercise of religion, allowing Christians to live, quiet, godly, and dignified lives. (1 Tim 2:2).  Ask the Lord to turn their hearts with favor towards the poor and defenseless in their lands; especially widows, orphans, the handicapped, and the unborn.  Pray that they would exercise their God-given right to deploy militaries with restraint and wisdom.  Pray that their dealings personally and publicly, would be carried forth with fairness and integrity.  Pray finally for their salvation, giving thanks that while in this age there will be strife (Mark 13:7-8), the day is quickly coming when the King of Kings will reveal His eternal throne to all the earth, and the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ, forever and ever.
