Heal our land oh God

"I exhort therefore, that 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." (1 Tim. 2:1,2)

Abba, our most holy Father, thank You for our leaders. We pray for all those in authority in the body of Christ, for those in authority in this nation and the world. That Your people may live quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in Your sight, as You, LORD, have said "when the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn." We pray, LORD, that Your people, throughout this whole nation, who are called by Your name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek Your face, and turn from any wicked ways. And we pray for Your forgiveness of our sins and the sin of our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

We pray knowing You will hear from heaven, and will forgive sins, and heal our land. Blessed, loving Father, we pray that You will heal our land. We pray that You will pour Your mercy and grace upon us. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this nation, and in all the earth, as it is in heaven.
