Father, you have placed leaders in position, kings, queens, presidents, prime ministers, and all must one day bow the knee to you. They rule only because you have delegated authority to humans. And all that they think, say, and do is seen by you God, who knows the inner workings of the heart.
Whether or not I always agree with my nation’s leaders Lord, I ask that you grant them wisdom to rule graciously and honourably. Leading a nation is a fearsome responsibility and who can hope to discharge this well, except with your help every step of the way.
I pray for the protection of our leaders and their families. For as long as you allow them this responsibility, God, may you uphold them and give them every opportunity to govern well in accordance with your moral law.
I know that to lead involves a double accountability to the nation and ultimately to you, the true King and leader of all. Please, Lord, encourage my nation’s leaders then to take seriously this charge. And draw them to walk humbly before you God, the only one who can guide them into profound wisdom and truth.
