Back to Prayers

'Every governor who had come before me had exploited his authority and levied a stiff tax—a pound of silver a day—and taken food and wine to supply his own table, often using unmerciful servants to extract this payment. But my fear of the True God kept me from ever acting in the same way.' Nehemiah 5:15 (VOICE)

I am to pray for our leaders in government. I am to pray for God-fearing men to lead me. I am to pray for the oppression of over-taxation to cease. I am to pray for men and women to use their power and authority to do good and not to bring evil upon their people in order to enrich themselves. 

On June 2 our religious leaders are calling for us all to pray for our President. We are to pray for God to intervene and to protect, strengthen, encourage and guide our President. We are to pray for hearts to soften and minds to change. 

The Bible instructs us to pray for those in authority so that we all might live quiet and peaceful lives in all godliness and reverence. These are not the times that we currently live in and yet it was the vision of our Founding Fathers. We witness the enemies of the President attempt to destroy him, his family and his presidency on a daily basis. We see much hatred and anger acted out toward our great nation by many who seem to have lost the vision of freedom and liberty. God really is our only hope.

We place our hope in You, God and we pray. Why not ask You, Lord, for the blessings that we know that You want to give us. Even if we have neglected to seek You when we should, today is the day we humbly decide to go back to You and back to prayers. Nothing is impossible with You, God. You matter to us. Prayers work. Prayers are effective. You hear us when we cry out to You for; less financial burdens to bear. less national debt, less crisis in government leadership, less fighting, more financial freedoms, more unity, more godliness, more peace. We pray for an awakening. We pray for revival. It starts today.
