Prayer for Leaders and Nations

Heavenly Father (Avinu Shebashamayim),

Thank You for salvation through Jesus (Yeshua) Christ, our one Mediator. Your desire is for all to be saved and know the truth, and we lift them up to You.

I pray for all people, especially those in authority. Grant them wisdom to govern justly, lead with integrity, and promote peace, so we may live quiet, godly lives.

Strengthen those who seek You, Father (Avinu), that they may walk in faithfulness:

• God Almighty (El Shaddai), give them strength to stand firm.
• The God Who Sees (El Roi), open their eyes to Your presence.
• The Lord Who Provides (Yahweh Jireh), supply their needs to bless others.
• The Lord of Peace (Yahweh Shalom), fill them with Your perfect peace.
• The Lord Our Righteousness (Yahweh Tzidkenu), may their lives reflect Your righteousness.

May all nations come to know You, Father, and proclaim Your truth to the ends of the earth.

In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name, Amen.
