For Those Governing
Loving Lord,
You encourage us to pray for our leaders of church and state, so I ask you to guide and direct all those holding offices of high trust at ever level in our government. Thank you for their hard labor and for their desire to represent constituents and citizens well. Guard them from being influenced by outside agendas and any corruption. Help them remain steadfast in their moral standards and conduct their responsibilities ethically. Surround them with wise counsel that seeks to serve the best interests of as many people as possible. Bless their dedicated work and watch and keep their families while they carry it out. Use them to govern our country in a way that prioritizes providing the necessary care for and discipline of our own citizens, and after that to offer any prudent help and aid to other nations as possible.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
