A Prayer for Our Leaders

Dear God,

Although we are accountable to no one but You, we are also under our leaders’ authority.

Please be with each of our leaders today—the lawmakers in our cities and towns and those who govern our nation. Let them be men and women who govern with justice and the truth of your righteousness.

Please give them clear minds so that they may lead with authority. Give them wisdom and the knowledge they need to make good decisions. Let their objectives be genuinely motivated by what is best for the people they govern, for the good of the many and the good of the few.

Prayers That Move Mountains: Power Prayers That Bring Answers from Heaven

Eckhardt, John (Author)
English (Publication Language)

Let Your Holy Spirit guide their hearts so they may govern with mercy. Give them the courage and strength to act according to what is right rather than expected or popular.

Let Your grace temper their speech, that they may always speak with decency. Let them cultivate peace and security throughout the nation through respectful and dignified words.

Please guide their actions so that they may govern with integrity and fairness. Let them work to uphold the principles to which they pledge their service.

No matter where they are on their spiritual path, let a concern for human life at every stage, from birth to death, be a guiding principle in all they do.

Dear Lord, protect our nation and bring all things together for our good so that we may serve you more faithfully as a people.
