Leaders Need Prayer – WOW – August 2024
Leaders Need Prayer
Pray for Leaders
Daniel 2:21 says the Lord “removes kings and sets up kings.” Leaders must protect their citizens while balancing the demands from experts in their own country and other nations. Trying to satisfy everyone means few are pleased with government and military leaders’ decisions. Challenging days are ahead requiring wisdom beyond a leader’s natural ability.
“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; by me princes rule, and nobles, all who govern justly. I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me.” Proverbs 8:12-17 ESV
PRAY FOR: Leaders Need Prayer
- Leaders to fear the Lord, to hate evil, pride, arrogance and perverted speech
- Leaders to seek the Lord who gives sound wisdom, knowledge, counsel, and insight
- Leaders to be courageous
Pray for the Citizens
People want an end to the conflicts. They are traumatized. On all sides people are attacked and eliminated causing much sorrow because these are their fathers, sons, sisters, and friends. The Jewish and Arab people have lost so much; yet, they have so much to gain through Messiah. If only people knew their enemy is not flesh and blood. The urging by Apostle Paul to pray for kings also directs us to remember all people.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” I Timothy 2:1-2 ESV
PRAY FOR:
- The Middle East citizens who have soft hearts to have opportunity to hear the gospel and many will find salvation
- Believers to be kept safe and have divine encounters for encouraging one another
- The peace of Jerusalem
Pray for Jacob’s Hope
We are feeling the global chaos like many of you who intercede for the Jewish people. This month two of our missionaries will travel to Ethiopia where there is fighting in the north and their currency is being devalued. This is geographical and spiritual territory of the enemy. We thank you in advance for prayer covering.
“Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3: 1,2 TLV
PRAY FOR:
- The Lord’s presence to go with our missionaries as they travel August 26-Sept 9
- The Jewish theological students who come from different tribes to strengthen friendships for accountability, encouragement and possible future ministry partnerships
- Our senders
