Prayer For Our Government

 

God's word tells us to pray for our government. The Bible encourages us to pray for our government and leaders. Here are some Bible verses that talk about praying for the government:

1 Timothy 2:1-4: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty."

Romans 13:1: "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers."

Proverbs 11:14: "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers."

Here is an example of how to pray for our government. Remember we are to pray for everyone in any government position regardless of our thoughts about them. 

Father, in the name of Jesus, we give thanks for the United States and its government. We hold up in prayer all of the men and women who are in positions of authority. We pray for the president, the representatives, the senators, the judges of our land, the policemen and the policewomen, as well as the governors and mayors, and for all those who are in authority over us is any way. 

Lord, we pray for all those in authority so that they will make good wise decisions that will allow us to live a quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and honesty.

Lord, we ask that we have only people in authority who have come to the knowledge of your truth. We thank you that knowledge is pleasant in the sight of all of those in authority over us. We thank you that your hand of protection is on our government leaders and that they all choose to walk in the paths of uprightness. Thank you that you are removing all wicked influences from those who are in authority over us. 

Thank you that our nation is returning to you, for we know that the nation whose God is the Lord is Blessed. We know that you are a refuge for the oppressed and a refuse in times of trouble. 

Lord, we ask that you lead and guide all who are in authority over us in the paths of righteousness. We thank you for this land where you have caused us to live and for the leader of this land that you have given us, in the Holy Name of Jesus. Amen. 

Thanksgiving Thoughts

 Tis the season for strife. It is amazing how a day called Thanksgiving causes so many problems.  It was originally meant to be a day of prayer and thanks giving.  

Now it has turned into a time of strife and stress for many.  

Thanksgiving is not a holiday mentioned in the Bible, but the idea of giving thanks is a theme all through the Bible. 

Here are some scriptures to help you give thanks.

Nehemiah 12:27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.

Nehemiah 12:46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

Psalm 26:7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

Psalm 50:14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

Psalm 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Psalm 95:2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Psalm 107:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

Psalm 116:17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.

Psalm 147:7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

Isaiah 51:3 For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

Jeremiah 30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Prayer for Health and Healing

I am hearing about many people having various illnesses and diseases. Here's an example of how to pray the Word of God over your situation. 

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come to you with a humble heart asking for healing.  As it is written in your word, the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. At this time, I am repenting of all my sins. I am declaring that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  I think you for sending Your Word, who is Jesus, to heal me and deliver me from all destructions. Thank you that Jesus was wounded for my sins and with His stripes I am healed.  Thank you that as it says in Proverbs, "Your words are life and health to those that find and read them. I will bless you O Lord with all my soul.  I will praise you for forgiving me of all my sins.  I thank you for healing all of my diseases.  I give you glory and honor in Jesus' Holy name.  Amen 

Now continue to pray daily and read the Word of God daily while putting your trust in Jesus.
