40 Day Prayer Fast Devotional Day 26 – Government

Daniel 6:3-5   1 Timothy 2:1-6
Daniel was a man of excellent spirit and integrity, place by God in a government that was ruled  by an idolatrous King;   Even under intense pressure for his life, Daniel held to a standard of righteousness and maintained a witness to those who did not believe in Jehovah.   Daniel was faithful to seek God regardless of his outcome.   God saw the unbending faith of this righteous leader and intervened, many including the King turned to the Lord.    Michigan has many righteous men and women in leadership in our state   let us not forget to pray for them daily.
Prayer:
Father we ask you to give godly wisdom to our governmental leaders.  May they realize their great need for your help strength and wisdom to make the right decisions for the people.   Lord we ask you to give them peace in their minds where there may be confusion or fear.  We ask for grace to be upon our leaders like Daniel had upon his life.  May they govern with integrity, and stand firm to righteous standards,  We pray for strength so they will not bow to the pressures of the ungodly but will hold true to the word of God  and to our Christian heritage that established our nation.,  Release your abundant Blessings upon them,    In Jesus Name we ask.. Amen
