It’s so difficult and heartbreaking to watch as the world is clawing itself apart. Whether it’s police officer brutality, BLM rallies/protests that turn into bloodbaths, or bombs in dumpsters, it seems that everywhere I look, something horrifying is happening. The only thing that keeps my mind at peace is prayer and Scripture, and knowing that I can rest assured that no matter what is happening in the world, my God still sits on the throne. And the only thing I can really do is speak Scripture over our our nation, our world, and its leaders, and rest in Him.

For us, the Christian citizens of the world:

With everything going on in the world right now, this is an opportunity for us to share the love of Christ with people. We need to, as Christians, stand up and fight in the best way we can: prayer.

"The Lord your God is in your midst, a victorious warrior. He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy." Zephaniah 3:17

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

"I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:1-4

For our leaders:

Pray that they will turn to God, and that they will seek His wisdom in every choice they make. Pray that God would be honored in the decisions they make, and that only those who will heed His voice will be placed in office.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you.” James 1:5

“Without wise leadership, a nation falls; there is safety in having many advisors.” Proverbs 11:14

“With my help, leaders rule, and lawmakers legislate fairly. With my help, governors govern, along with all in legitimate authority. Those who look for me find me.” Proverbs 8:15-16

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew 6:33

For our nation/world:

What happens in one country affects countless others. Pray that people would turn to God for help, and put their trust in Him regarding their needs.

"For kingship belongs to the Lord, and He rules over the nations." Psalm 22:28

“He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge…” Isaiah 33:6

“Godliness makes a nation great, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” Proverbs 14:34

“Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” Matthew 6:10
