Ezekiel 22:30 calls for someone to stand in the gap and watch for the security of the city. I offer this prayer as a model to honor this God-given petition. “I looked for someone to stand up for me against all this, to repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for me and stand in the gap to protect this land so I wouldn’t have to destroy it. I couldn’t find anyone. Not one."
God, I choose to present regard to everybody and treat them with dignity. I love the family of God and respect the government. (1 Peter 2:17). Lord, I represent the city we live in with integrity and do marvelous things for it. Because in its well-being, I will find welfare. (Jeremiah 29:7). Jesus, help our leaders to worship, and serve you with reverence, make selfless decisions; and not to think more highly of themselves than they ought. (Psalms 2:10-11, Proverbs 11:14). Keep their heart in Your hands and turn it; whichever way that pleases you. (Proverbs 21:1). I pray for husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. Father, do a fresh thing in families so they bear with each other in love, forgive often while holding each other accountable. Almighty God, convict them so they hold fast to what is righteous, keep no record of wrong, detest what is evil, and be an example of the love of God. (Ephesians 5:25). Colossians 3:13, 1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
God, you are a Father to the outcast, underprivileged, and the unloved. Lord, I will be compassionate and help them and look down only when I’m picking them up. My voice is the one offering love and acceptance and not judgment and condemnation. Savior, provide for those in need, bring peace to the troubled soul, shelter the runaway from harm and connect these dear ones with a reliable friend who loves them as a sister or brother. (Proverbs 18:24). With my Christ-like attitude, Father, cover this earth with Your unfailing love. Let it be contagious and infect everyone I meet while leaving a residue of your love behind. God of the Angel Armies. Amen.
I welcome you to leave a prayer on behalf of others and the wold.
I pray the song; As We Pray by Gateway Worship stirs your heart.
