Evening Prayers - 8 August 2014
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You for this beautiful day past. I give thanks for all the brothers and sisters praying with me today.
Tomorrow marks the birth-day of our nation - Singapore. I know my brothers and sisters do not all come from Singapore, so today we pray humbly for the progress of our individual nations. Especially during these tumultuous times, Father, we place our countries and governments into Your Hand - that our leaders may be blessed with wisdom and discernment. That You will prevent them from becoming corrupt and drive away the devil even as he tries to influence them.
You are Lord over all nations - the same God who directed Joseph, who instructed David and Solomon, who saw the rise of Hezekiah's kingdom and the fall of King Ahab. May Your Grace be upon our leaders; and also the citizens. As You bestows upon us Your Presence and Mercy, may our lands prosper in Peace and Harmony and not discord. Let our leaders be wise and courageous, our citizens supportive and our nations strong under Your Rule.
Just and true are Your ways, of King of Nations - Revelations 15:3
Amen.
