PRAYER FOR THE NATION

 

Now that our 9th Prime Minister have been officially installed, prayer and intercession is more than asking God for something. It is also connecting with God, and in doing so, participating in what He is doing. Because of our human finite foresight and His infinite wisdom and foresight, we often cannot comprehend what He is doing and the see full extent of His plans and purpose.

 

Isaiah 55:8-9:

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

 

To all my fellow intercessors, I want you to know God hears and uses all our prayers for Malaysia. Let us be encouraged to know that His plans and purposes will be done and continue to pray as God rolls out His ultimate plan and purpose for Malaysia. It’s not FINAL until God’s WILL BE DONE.

 

The psalmist declares in 33:10-11

“The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.”

 

LET US PRAY…..

Heavenly Father, we thank you for planting us through your infinite wisdom in Malaysia today. We submit to you and ask you to anoint us afresh as we seek to stand in the gap for your ultimate purpose for Malaysia to be done.

Continue to give us a great love for our nation.

We declare, “Come Your Kingdom and Be Done Your Will” for Malaysia.

Lord, pour your mercy upon our nation, forgive all our sins, let Your justice, mercy and righteousness prevail over judgement.

We commit our new Prime Minister into Your hands.

Bless his leadership and government. Grant him wisdom to see beyond himself, his political party and give him the mantle to lead and administrate Malaysia.

Shield him from evil counsellors and from the deceitfulness of man but surround him with able man and women who will put the interest of the nation above every other interest and human agendas.

O Lord, give our Ministerial Cabinet excellence.

One that is excellent in vision, abilities, and mentality.

Heavenly Father, give our new Prime Minister a strategic mindset to further improve the nation’s strategic plan to combat the Covid-19 pandemic and declining economy.

Give him the willpower and boldness to think as a leader of ALL MALAYSIANS, irrespective of religion, race, creed or background.

May our political leaders be an example of righteousness, fairness, justice and competency. May those who hinder Your purpose be removed and bound in Jesus’ Name.

Lord Jesus, continue to pour out Your Holy Spirit on Your Church.

Let the spirit of consolation and faith arise during this trying but strategic times.

Help us be the salt and light, bringing a godly influence, integrity and righteousness especially those among us who have influence in the marketplace and walk along the corridors of political powers and influence.

Raise up the “Josephs” and “Daniels” with divine favour and place them in places of influence.

May our marketplace leaders think beyond profits.

Lord, help us not be weary while doing what is right, strengthen us to stay the course and keep our focus on You and Your purpose.

We ask all these in the Mighty and Matchless Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
