Weekly Prayer - February 9-15, 2025

Father God, we thank You for providing leadership for our respective states. We recognize that You are a God of Order and You bring order out of chaos. Bring godly order in every area of our state government, we pray. We also thank You for the promise that when Your people, who are called by Your Name, will humble themselves, repent of their sin, seek Your face and pray, You will hear their prayers from Heaven and heal their land. We confess today, LORD, that we need You and Your healing in our state. We need Your wisdom and guidance in our state. We need Your righteousness and justice in our state to ground and direct all leaders and their decisions. We need You to raise up, empower, and embolden godly leaders to take positions of leadership at all governmental levels of our state. Please call Your people into such positions of service, as You have done in days gone by. Raise up new Moseses and Joshuas to lead, raise up new Daniels and Jeremiahs to provide wise counsel, raise up new Samuels and Deborahs to provide wise rulings and just judgments. Put men and women into positions of responsibility for the good of all the people of our state. Open their ears to always hear the voice of Your Spirit saying, “Here is the way, walk in it,” so that their leadership might be in conjunction with true wisdom and result in the flourishing of life here in our state. Surround each leader with godly counsel and close their ears to the wicked, to those who seek selfish gain, to the deceivers and tempters. Send Your angels to protect the lives and families of our leaders, that they may not make decisions based on fear, but rather make decisions based upon righteousness, justice, and true wisdom. We thank You, Father, for Your kindness and mercy towards us. Please, provide for us the leaders that we need, not the leaders we deserve. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen
