Daily Prayer - September 6, 2024

Holy Father, We ask that You would bless us with leaders in our state government that will be innovative, creative, and divinely inspired in their leadership roles.

We pray that they would be beacons who shine brightly in their given fields as they enact justice, love mercy and walk humbly with You.

May the leaders of our state become an inspiration to the leaders of other states. May they collectively sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron, so that all of them may continually grow in wisdom, faithfulness, righteousness and favor before You and others.

May the leaders of our state be found faithful when examined by You, may they not be found wanting when weighed in Your scales of justice and righteousness.

May they cooperate with You and with others in our state to become the best they can be, and may they strive to serve the people of their state and serve You with all their hearts.

Give them supernatural wisdom, Father, that they would understand how to bless and protect those who live in our state.

Give them insights into how they may cooperate with You to see individuals, families and whole communities blossom and flourish under they leadership.

May they also humbly acknowledge that You are the One that brings growth, and that they are mere servants, only doing their duty. 

Deliver them from the dangers and deceptions of pride, selfish ambition, and other temptations. Fill their hearts with joy at the thought of doing what is right on behalf of those they serve and before You, that they may be moved to live righteously and justly all their days.

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