This is a very simple prayer, but presently I am having a hard time doing this task that I know I must do. So, I am taking the lead of Jesus:

Matthew 6:9-13

9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Father, you have sent in times past, for Your people... for Your namesake... people like Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Moses, Joseph and others... to warn leaders. I pray, Father, you would do so again. For Your namesake, for our sake, and for our countries sake, I ask you to send warning to our leaders. Also to the voters of this country.

Generally speaking, I know you want us to pray for our leaders. But when dubious leaders arise, invested with absolute power, we turn to you for help. In obedience to You, we pray. Likewise, we ask that the leaders of this country adhere to the constitutional laws of this land. I ask for your protection in that obedience. I also ask for wise and godly leaders.

I ask You, Father, to set up people in the gaps, people on the walls, people who will boldly stand up fighting for You. Have mercy on us, oh God! Father, help us fight the good fight. Teach us to fight.

I’ve read the Bible… I know how it ends. Meantime, Lord, help us focus on what You want us to do. Help us understand that. And please, revive this nation. There are schemes and plans that would be detrimental to this country, detrimental to the people of this country, detrimental to the most vulnerable of this country… intervene Almighty God! Your word says that your eye roams the earth looking for somebody to show yourself strong to… here we are, merciful God!! The world laughs at us, our country laughs at us, people in general laugh at us, they mock us… they want us to shut up and go away. We won’t. We can’t. We know what it is, to be friends with the most high God. We know what it is to pant after you, in absolute thrist --- and to find you.

Help the Obama’s find a good school, with godly people, for their daughters. Anoint the teacher’s. Send laborers into their lives that will minister your truth. Give Michelle godly wisdom, strength and understanding in helping their girls to adjust. Protect those girls from every evil thing.

In Jesus name, Amen.
