Daily Prayer - December 5, 2024

Father God, we thank You for the opportunity to pray as You have called us to. You have called us, as Your people, to be stewards over Your Creation.

You have called us to give thanks for and to pray for all who are in authority, that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence. 

You call this “good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

We pray today that You would establish leaders and a leadership culture, laws and structures, legal and judicial precedents in our state through the prayers of Your people, so as to bring about the kind of flourishing communities and godly peace and freedom that You desire to see.

May Your will be done in our state as it is in Heaven with respect to all of these areas. Where there are laws and structures, organizations or attitudes among leadership and leadership culture that counter Your will and Your ways here in our state, expose and remove them.

May every mountainous obstacle be laid low, every pitfall valley mindset filled in, every crooked way of leaders or laws be straightened, so that You may draw nearer to us who live in our state.

May Your mission be fulfilled in our state, that all may be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.

We pray all these things in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
