Prayer for World Leaders and the Nations

(8) Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the secretary, “I have found the Book of the Law in the temple of the LORD.” He gave it to Shaphan, who read it.(11) When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his robes.(13) Go and inquire of the LORD for me and for the people and for all Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the LORD’s anger that burns against us because those who have gone before us have not obeyed the words of this book; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written there concerning us.” (2 KINGS 22; 8, 11-13, NIV)

Heavenly Father, God of all creation hallowed and holy is your Name in all the earth. Let your Name be magnified forever, Oh Lord. Let thy kingdom rule come here on earth as it is heaven. Your throne is in the heavens Oh Lord and your kingdom rules in all the earth. We ask for our daily bread of wisdom and understanding. We ask that you receive our thanksgiving for all your kind mercies towards your people. We pray for your forgiveness for all our sins perpetrated against each other. We ask forgiveness for the sins of our national ancestors. We repent of all covenants of evil that they have entered into, knowingly or unknowingly. All that has passed through the bloodline of our nations and all generational sins of iniquity, forgive us. We pray all generational curses and sins of our national fore-parents be forgiven now. We pray that the hearts of the nations are turned back to you penitently, Oh God.

We pray that national leaders will not yield to sins of their national forefathers. But with contrite hearts let them address their nations in a public display of confessions and national repentance. Judge the nations not after their sins that is so great. We desire that you heal our nations and save your people from the calamities of rebellion towards you, Oh God. We confess we have erred and come short of your glory. Father, let thy kingdom come and thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Forgive us this day and turn our hearts once again to you.

Give divine wisdom in national leadership. Let the ‘called out prophets’ emerge now to bring healing and deliverance as written in your Word. Bring to bear your mighty and authoritative voice Oh God in the earth. Let strategic plans and decision-making be Spirit-directed as you bring a New Order to the affairs of mankind. Turn the hearts of world leaders from the pull of the Evil One. Bring your divine will to a broken, suffering world. Let hope arise as we wait upon you Oh Lord our Redeemer.

I thank you Heavenly Father for inclining your ear to this global plea. I thank you that you will hasten your Word now for healing, restoration and deliverance from all forms of captivities in the nations. AMEN!
