Is there anything in the NT about praying for your nation?

I didn’t see Jesus as talking much about politics. And nations are very much political entities. Rather, he talked about protecting us even in the midst off mayhem. The nation is lost. Look at the culture. We are the bad guys.

Now, I DO think we should pray for individuals. And that is one thing that Christianity and the constituion (by design) have in common: One is about an INDIVIDUAL’s relationship with their creator and their fellow man and the other is about the INDIVIDUAL’s rights within our government and its ability to usurp those rights.

If I am not mistaken, many prayers were said for the nation of Israel.

2 Chronicles 7:14

He will heal our land (country) if we pray and humble ourselves.

And you would begrudge your neighbor prayers? How about the innocent children growing up in this mess? Love your neighbor by praying for him and for the children who will be scandalized.
