Our sincere prayers can indeed create significant changes in our lives, as well as in the lives of our leaders and the way our government functions.

Use me as a vessel to bring positive change and to uphold justice and righteousness in my spheres of influence.
I pray for the leadership and government within my nation. Grant them divine wisdom, understanding, and inspiration. Holy spirit, guide them as they make decisions that affect our community, country, and the world. Make them instruments of your peace, justice, and love.
Help me, Father, to respect and honour those in authority. Let me be a positive influence and a peacemaker in my society. May I see the leaders through your eyes, remembering always to uphold them in prayer.
I pray for peace, prosperity, and unity in our country. I pray against every form of division, confusion, and chaos. May our leaders be guided to lead with integrity, fairness, and respect for all.
