OPEN HEAVEN 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 FRIDAY: PRAYERS FOR LEADERS

OPEN HEAVEN 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 MEMORISE: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Psalm 2:10

OPEN HEAVEN 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 READ: 1 Timothy 2:1-4

1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

 

OPEN HEAVEN 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 PRAYERS

1. Father, I thank you for all the leaders in my family, church, state, country, and in every other place. Thank you for their lives, their families, and their well- being.

2. Father, I pray for wisdom for my leaders. Please, let none of them lead us in the wrong direction. Give them the wisdom to know what to do at all times, in Jesus’ name.

3. Father, please let it be well with our leaders. Take of all their personal needs so that they will have peace of mind to lead us aright, in Jesus’ name.

4. Father, please provide all the resources that our leaders need to achieve the goals set ahead of them, in Jesus’ name.

5. Father, please give our leaders the strength to overcome every obstacle that may stand in the way of the glorious future they are leading us to. Help them to surmount any challenge that confronts them, in Jesus’ name.

6. Father, please let our leaders have a compassionate heart towards their followers. Let none of them use their position to exploit or oppress their followers, in Jesus’ name.

7. Father, please don’t let any of our leaders offend you and do things that will bring judgement upon themselves and their followers. Please help them to do your will at all times, in Jesus’ name.

8. Father, please remove any leader that refuses to do your will. Just as you replaced Saul with David, replace them with people that will do your will, in Jesus’ name.

9. Father, please let our leaders be good examples to us. Let their conduct and personality set good standards for us to live by, in Jesus’ name.

10. Father, please let there be unity and peace amongst all our leaders. Let them be united and give them the wisdom to relate with each other peaceably, in Jesus’ name.

11. Father, please raise righteous leaders to occupy leadership positions so that the people can rejoice, in Jesus’ name.

OPEN HEAVEN 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 HYMN 22

SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

4. Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
May I thy consolation share,
Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height,
I view my home and take my flight.
This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
“Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”
