God calls us to pray for our leaders — that they would submit to His leadership for the sake of His will being done and for the advancement of His everlasting kingdom. As followers of Christ, we need to pray for our leaders both in and out of the election season.
The heart behind this prayer guide is to pray for our current and future leadership, using Scripture as the foundation for each prayer. It is designed not only for you to use in your personal quiet time but also to pray with a prayer partner or small group and intercede for our nation together.
Prayer
Lord, we know that in the midst of this time, You have kingdom purpose. You have brought our country to its knees. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to You. You see the big picture, and You are at work in ways that we cannot see. Please guide the direction of our country Nigeria.
Proverbs 21:1
“In the LORD’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.”
Psalm 47:7-9
“For God is the King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne. The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth belong to God; He is greatly exalted.”
Psalm 72:11
“May all kings bow down to Him and all nations serve Him.”
Prayer
We pray for Our President, cabinet, and advisors to the Vice. The Bible and history are full of examples of counsel to the king resulting in laws and decisions leading the entire nation toward peace and prosperity or toward division, destruction, and even collapse.
We pray that You would give the President wisdom to surround himself with counselors who have our country’s best interest at heart. Grant them wisdom to advise the President in the course of action he should take. We pray that You would surround our President with sound, wise counsel to direct him as he leads our nation.
