PRAYER FOR THE NATION – PRAYING FOR GE15
The following call to prayer has been adapted from PRAYER UNITED’S CALL TO PRAY FOR THE GE15 “LIGHT UP MALAYSIA”. Let us join all believers in Malaysia and contend as one man for the destiny of our nation in this critical time.
1 TIMOTHY 2:1 -4 ESV
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

I CHRONICLES 29: 10-13
10 “Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
11 Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,
And You are exalted as head over all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
13Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.” Amen.
- USE THESE KEY PRAYER POINTS FOR THE UPCOMING GE15
A) RAISING OF RIGHTEOUS LEADERS
Pray that God will raise good politicians of integrity with strong values who are noble, upright, incorruptible and competent to be nominated and elected for both the Parliamentary and State seats. Once nomination is done, pray for incumbents and candidates by name.
B) PEACE IN THE NATION
Pray for protection from sinister plots that instigate violence and bring disruption for illegitimate power and control. Pray for peace to reign in the run-up to GE15, on Election Day and until the new government is formed. Pray for a holy fear of God to sweep through the nation.
C) REWIRING OF CAMPAIGN CULTURE
Pray for a transformation of the campaign culture of vote buying and coercion. Pray that voters will value their vote, and choose wisely candidates who have integrity and who care for the well-being of all peoples of our nation. Pray for wisdom for first-time voters, such as the 18-year-olds.
D) GOD’S PLAN FOR GE15
Pray that GE15 will be conducted legitimately, competently and efficiently so that the people will prosper from good governance and the nation restored from years of pillage and corruption.
CLOSING PRAYER (Based on Psalm 75)
We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks!
For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.
It is You who choose the appointed time for our nation, Malaysia.
You say to the arrogant, ‘Boast no more,’ and to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up your horns. Do not lift your horns against heaven.’ You have said that no one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. It is You, O Lord, who determine who You will exalt and who You will bring down.
We bless You O Lord, as we lift up our nation before You.
In Jesus’ most glorious Name, amen.
