2024 National Day of Prayer
May 2nd, 2024
May 2nd, 2024
In the proclamation below, Governor Pillen has declared today, May 2nd, as a National Day of Prayer. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, “I urge, then first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for all people – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”
Please consider joining me in the following prayer for our leaders.
Dear Lord, we pray for rulers all over this Earth, both righteous and wicked. We pray that wicked rules may turn from war, aggression, and oppression and instead choose peace and freedom. We pray these leaders may have a change of heart and follow you. We ask that you guide our own President Biden at the national level and Governor Pillen at the State level in the way you would have them go. We pray that you would surround them with wise counsel – men and women of integrity who place your agenda and the good of this nation and state above their own.
We pray for Congress and the State Legislature that by your power they make just laws. We pray Congress and the Legislature may be motivated more by your hand than by partisan or personal concerns.
We pray for our Supreme Court. We pray that its decrees would be your decrees. We pray that they will make rulings in line with your will. We pray they would set a standard of justice and balance not only on a national level but for every adjudicator in our nation. We know that all judges are appointed by humans. We pray that each new selection will judge rightly according to the Consitution based on your Biblical values.
We pray for everyone who serves in local government. From county officials to city officials to school boards and others, please grant all of them the wisdom to act with integrity. Please help them seek your face and to pursue wise counsel as they make decisions.
We pray Father, especially for the members of the law enforcement community in our country. For FBI agents and other federal law enforcement agencies. For sheriff’s departments and police departments across the country. Please protect them, especially during these unsettled times. Please help us remember that you are the original lawgiver and that we should always strive to be respectful of those who enforce our laws.
Finally, we pray that Christians will exercise their privilege to vote. May there arise such a force of righteousness in our electoral system that it would affect every level of government in our nation. May those in government have a profound respect not only for the political strength of the Christian community but for our spiritual influence in this nation as well.
We pray all of this in Jesus’ name and to Him be all the Glory!
Amen.
