PRAYERS FOR OUR NATION
Marcella Ward March 22, 2023
Wise Leaders Prayer
Daniel 2:21
O Holy God, we praise your name forever and ever. God, you change seasons and
times, you also set and dispose of those in authority. Lord, set up the right
leaders in our nation and dispose of corrupt people that are in leadership.
Many of our leaders are greedy. They are out to make themselves rich at the
cost of the development of the nation. Others have become very arrogant and are
encouraging people to stop worshiping you the true living God and start chasing
after worldly things. Dispose of these people and set the right leaders to turn
the hearts of people back to you. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Make Us Great Prayer
Job 12:23-24
Lord God, we used to be a great nation that was respected and feared by other
nations in the world. But now we have strayed from you and your purpose for
this nation. We are becoming a shadow of our former selves. Lord, I repent on
behalf of my countrymen. Forgive us where we have gone wrong. Make us great
again as a nation. Help us to do things that are pleasing in your sight so that
you can be lifted higher. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Arise and Shine Prayer
Isaiah 60: 1-3
King of glory, cause our nation to arise and shine. Help us to see the light in
dark places and to turn bad things that are causing us to fail as a nation into
things that glorify your name. Let your glory Lord rise upon us that other
nations may know that you are a true living God, and it’s only you that we
trust. In Jesus’ name, we believe and pray, Amen.
Seek You Prayer
2 Chronicles 7:14
Father God, so many things are going wrong in our nation because we have turned
from you, and we are doing things that are against your word. We used to revere
your name as a nation, but now all we do is worship idols inform of
celebrities, the internet, and riches. But Lord, your word says that if we
humble ourselves as a nation and seek your face, you will hear from heaven,
forgive our sins and heal our land. Father God, act upon your word. Forgive us all
our sins, for we have sinned greatly against you. Heal our nation from pain,
immorality, fear, and depression. Help us to become great again. In Jesus’
name, we believe and pray, Amen. (ConnectUS 15 Uplifting Prayers

PSALM 37
Of David.
1 Do
not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust
in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit
your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be
still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain
from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A
little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming. NIV
