Prayer for our Nation (November 6, 2012)

[FrazzledFraggle]

Lord, I am standing on Your promise in

Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring before You our nation and its leaders. Father, You say in Your Word that you reprove leaders for our sakes so that we may live in a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

We pray that skillful and godly wisdom will enter into the heart of our leaders on a national, state, and local level as this election progresses; and that knowledge is pleasant to them, that discretion watched over them and understanding keeps them and delivers them from the way of evil and from evil men.

We pray that the upright shall dwell in the government(s)...that men and women of integrity, blameless and complete in Your sight, Father, shall be put in place and those that are already in place shall remain. We pray that the wicked shall be cut off and the treacherous shall be rooted out. We pray that those in authority winnow the wicked from among the good and bring the threshing wheel over them to separate the chaff from the grain, for loving-kindness and mercy, truth and faithfulness preserve those in authority and their offices are upheld by the people's loyalty.

We confess and believe that the decisions made by the leaders are divinely directed by You, Father, and their mouths should not transgress in judgment. Therefore, we pray our leaders are men and women of discernment, understanding, and knowledge so the stability of our country will increase. We pray that the uncompromisingly righteous be in authority in our country so that the people here can rejoice.

Father, it is an abomination for leaders to commit wickedness. We pray that their offices be established and made secure by righteousness and that right and just lips are a delight to those in authority and that they love those who speak what is right.

We pray and believe that the good news of the Gospel is published in this land. We thank YOU for laborers of the harvest to publish Your Word that Jesus is Lord in the USA. We thank You for raising up intercessors to pray for our country in Jesus' name. Amen.

And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

From the man who speaks perverse things,
13 From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;

And delight in the perversity of the wicked;

And who are devious in their paths;

And by loving kindness he upholds his throne.
