Title: Prayers For Leaders
Memorize: For the kingdom is the Lord’s, and He rules over the nations. Psalm 22:28 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (Nkjv)
[1] Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,
[2] for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
[4] who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Prayers:
1) Father, I thank You for everyone You have appointed as a leader over me in my family, school, community, nation, and church.
2) Father, please help all our leaders to fear You genuinely and lead us according to Your will, in Jesus’ name.
3) Father, please let all our leaders love the people they are called to serve genuinely and not the position they occupy.
4) Father, please make all our leaders servant-leaders just like Jesus Christ.
5) Father, no matter the difficulties that arise, please give our leaders the wisdom to resolve them, in Jesus’ name.
6) Father, please make our leaders men and women of integrity. Remove every form of greed and deceit from their hearts, in Jesus’ name.
7) Your personal prayer point for your leaders.
Action Point:
Thank God for answered prayers.
HYMN 43 – LEAD US HEAVENLY FATHER, LEAD US
1 Lead Us, Heavenly Father, Lead Us
O’er The World’s Tempestuous Sea;
Guard Us, Guide Us, Keep Us, Feed Us,
For We Have No Help But Thee,
Yet Possessing Every Blessing
If Our God Our Father Be.
2 Saviour, Breathe Forgiveness O’er Us;
All Our Weakness Thou Dost Know;
Thou Didst Tread This Earth Before Us,
Thou Didst Feel lts Keenest Woe;
Lone And Dreary, Faint And Weary,
Through The Desert Thou Didst Go.
3 Spirit Of Our God, Descending,
Fill Our Hearts With Heavenly Joy,
Love With Every Passion Blending,
Pleasure That Can Never Cloy;
Thus Provided, Pardoned, Guided,
Nothing Can Our Peace Destroy.
