Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you today to lift up my political leaders to you in prayer. I ask that you bless them with wisdom, discernment, and a heart for serving the people they represent. Help them to make decisions that are just, fair, and in alignment with your will.

Please guide their actions and words so that they may lead with integrity and compassion. Give them the strength to stand firm in their convictions and the humility to seek guidance from you and others when needed.

I pray that you would surround them with wise counsel and protect them from harm. Help them to be mindful of the needs of those they serve and to act with empathy and understanding.

Above all, I ask that you would work in their hearts and minds, drawing them closer to you and inspiring them to govern with love and righteousness. May they seek to bring about positive change and unity in our country.

In Jesus’ name, I pray,

Amen.
