mercy
As headlines unfold and tensions rise around the world, our hearts are heavy.
From conflict overseas to unrest at home, we’re reminded just how much our leaders need prayer—not only for strength, but for wisdom, humility, and compassion. As believers, we are called to stand in the gap.
Today, we invite you to pause with us and pray.
📖 A Prayer for Our World Leaders 🙏
Heavenly Father,
In a time of deep division, rising tension, and heartbreaking violence, we lift up our world leaders to You. From every nation and every corner of the earth—guide their hearts.
And as their choices ripple outward, we also lift up the many people affected by their leadership—especially those facing hardship, fear, and loss in this moment.
Grant our leaders wisdom beyond their own understanding,
Discernment in every decision,
Kindness when power tempts harshness,
And compassion when fear provokes retaliation.
Bring comfort to the hurting, courage to the peacemakers, and hope to the weary.
Messiah, let peace rise where there is conflict. Let truth and love speak louder than fear and hate.
James 3:17 (NIV)
“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”
Amen.
