Prayers for the President, Governors, Mayors, America, and the Nations
Broadened, Edited, and Shared by Karen Sue Nyquist
1. Our Father in Heaven, we praise You and come before You in faith. Your word says, “And this is the confidence we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him” (1John 5:14-15). That’s why we faithfully pray. We are obeying Your word to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:3-4). We pray that You will raise up more “watchmen on the wall” (Ezekiel 33:1-9), people with pure hearts, who watch, pray, and boldly speak out to inform and warn our leaders. These include: intercessors, advisors, whistleblowers, schools, parents, investigative reporters, etc. We’ll continue praying in hope and faith until You answer us. We love and trust You! Thank You, in Jesus’ name!
2. Declaring America’s Covenants with God – Almighty God, Your word tells us, “Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments” (Deuteronomy 7:9). Yes God, You are still keeping the covenants that America’s founding fathers made with You. Your word tells us, “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways” (Job 22:28). So, we declare again each of these covenants over the United States of America, each state, and our local municipalities! America, “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you” (Isaiah 60:1-2). Thank You, God, in Jesus’ name!
America’s Covenants with God Reveal His Purposes for America
a. 1607 – The Covenant of Dedication: “We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us, and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. May this Covenant of Dedication remain to all generations, as long as this earth remains.”
b. 1620 – The Mayflower Compact: It says they came to this land, “for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith.” Thank You God, that our founders loved You so much! c. 1776 – The Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” God gave us our rights, not our governments, so the governments cannot take them away. Hallelujah!
d. 1791 – The 1st Amendment of the Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” This means each of us have the freedom to chose and practice our religion or to have no religion at all.
e. 1780-1901 – The Constitutions of all 50 States: “God or the divine is mentioned at least once in each of the 50 state constitutions and nearly 200 times overall.” (Pew Research Center) Every state’s founders acknowledged God’s existence. The supremacy clause means that the Constitution and federal laws override the constitutions and laws of the states.
3. Repentance, Binding Evil Spirits, and Healing of Americans – Lord God, America has sent out more missionaries than any other nation! But now, America is in moral decline. Help! You said, “…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 will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). We repent of our sins and our nation’s past and present sins, which opened doors for demonic attacks (Luke 6:18). Please forgive us and heal our land.
Lift the veil of deception from our leaders and our eyes, to see truth, and to lead us to repentance and salvation. Release throughout our land the gospel, Your angels, and Your Spirit’s love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) and faith in You! We cancel all occultic curses (Numbers 23:23). Jesus gave us power and authority over demons (Luke 9:1), so we submit to You and resist, bind, pull down, and cast out these demonic spirits: deception, idolatry, lust, addiction, sexual sins, coveting, theft, division, anger, hatred, intimidation, lawlessness, violence, chaos, mental illness, murder, occult, and witchcraft (James 4:2, 7-8; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Lord, You’re the “God of all comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4) and “of all hope” (Romans 15:13), so please, heal hearts that are wounded, broken, and hardened (Psalm 147:3); heal those whose bodies are diseased (Mark 16:18); and deliver those tormented mentally, physically, and emotionally by demons (Mark 16:15-20). Thank You, in Jesus’ name!
4. Physical and Spiritual Protection of the President, Governors, Mayors, Their Administrations, and Their Families – Precious Savior, we pray protection over the minds, spirits, and bodies of our leaders and their families. Surround them with Your ministering, guardian, and warrior angels. We declare, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn” (Isaiah 54:17). We cancel all curses and hexes, in Jesus’ name. We pray against all assassination and kidnapping attempts and against all actions to threaten or coerce them. Handpick and guide their intelligence and security agents. We apply the blood of Jesus as protection (Exodus 12:13; 1 Corinthians 5:7), especially over those who love You, America, and their constituents. Please help them keep their motives and actions pure. Give them wisdom and discernment to know who to interact with and who to avoid, so they don’t get sucked into the swamp of lying, lawlessness, greed, power, corruption, immorality, and the occult. Those who are already part of the swamp, please pour Your grace and Spirit upon them, convict them of their sins, help them hunger for righteousness, thirst for You, and repent of their life style. Have godly mentors pull them out of the swamp and bring them to You. Help them get saved, healed, delivered, and filled with Your Spirit (Acts 2:1-4). If some prefer to continue as puppets of evil spirits, expose their deeds, bring them to justice, and remove them from office. We pray they will soon repent and come to You for a new life in Christ. Thank You, in Jesus’ name!
5. Reveal Your Will to Our Leaders and Americans – All-Wise God, please have apostles, prophets, pastors (Ephesians 4:11; Amos 3:7), and godly politicians be among our leaders’ advisors, helping them make wise decisions about domestic and foreign issues. Give them and us ears to hear what You want us to hear and eyes to see what You want us to see (Ezekiel 12:2). Help them be obedient, fulfilling Your purposes so, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Luke 11:2). Give our leaders and Americans encounters with Jesus. Help us all kneel in humble reverence and let the fear of the Lord and Your glory come upon us. Help us all pray, “not my will but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42). If any leaders refuse to obey You or become involved in lawlessness and corruption, remove and replace them with righteous leaders. Thank You, in Jesus’ name!
6. Protection from Evil Foreign and Domestic Powers – Thank you God, for all You are doing using our leaders to keep us safe and free from globalist control and from a Communist – Islamic takeover of our nation, ensuring our freedoms. We resist, bind, and cast out evil spirits of Globalism, Communism, and Islamism. Thank You for making our streets safer by using the Border Patrol and ICE, with the help of police, FBI, and CIA, to do their lawful duty of removing terrorists, violent criminals, and all who are here unlawfully (1Peter 2:13–14). Help us improve immigration laws. Supernaturally protect these agents, our military, first responders, and all Americans, and send angels to accompany them (Psalm 91:11-12), helping them to accomplish their missions. Direct and protect us during times of diplomacy, military conflicts, and wars. We pray that no terrorism, foreign nor domestic, will attack us; and declare, “No weapon formed against us will hurt us” (Isaiah 54:17). Thank You, in Jesus’ name!
7. Reveal Wicked Plans, Release Truth and Discernment – Our Heavenly Father, please mobilize angelic armies to protect and fight for the nations as we pray. Remove and replace evil regimes, free those suffering oppression without the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Enlighten those in spiritual darkness with the light of the gospel. Oversee multiple national transitions of power, and expose infiltration. Remove all infiltrators and replace them with Your chosen, who are anointed and appointed for this time. Let Your justice, righteousness, truth, and peace prevail in America, and in all nations. “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face” (Psalm 89:14). Frustrate wickedness and block and overturn every power grab engineered through deception, including voter and election fraud, lying politicians, empty promises, and fake news. Lead our legislatures to implement fair election procedures and counties to fully follow them. With the power and authority that Jesus has given us (Luke 10:19, Ephesians 2:6, Mark 16:15-20) and with Your help, we tear down illegitimate authority and demonic spiritual influence in high places (Ephesians 6:12).
You told us, “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant” (Jeremiah 1: 9-10). With Your help, we will peacefully and lawfully stand up and speak up, building and planting truth, equal justice for all, and righteousness in our land. We declare our police, prosecutors, judges, and courts, will enforce righteous laws, and legislators will repeal unrighteous laws and enact new righteous ones. Please, bring hidden works of darkness into the light, then we’ll uproot them. Bring the fear of the Lord onto evil doers, so they’ll be confused, arrested, and brought to justice by police, prosecutors, and judges who are honest. We pray they’ll repent, giving their hearts to Jesus. We break off the grip that “the prince of power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2) has on the media’s narratives and influence. We declare truth will prevail and all lies and deceptions will be exposed (Luke 8:17). Use us to speak truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) as Your Spirit gives grace to all to accept truth, softens hearts, and sharpens discernment. You’re so kind and patient (Romans 2:4 NIV)! Thank You, in Jesus name!
8. Revival! Fulfilling Our Covenants with God! – Our Almighty God, now’s the time for America to arise and shine for Your glory! Help us fulfill our covenants to You to, “raise up godly generations and take the Kingdom of God to all the earth.” Use us to bring the gospel to all Americans and to all nations, saving lost souls (Luke 15:4-6). We’ll obey Your word that says to pray and not give up (Luke 18:1). Please, use us to obey Your Great Commission to witness, to win souls (Mark 16:15-20), and to financially support missionaries (Philippians 4:15-17). Your prophesied Global Glory Revival has already started moving through America’s universities and throughout the nations of the world. The two fastest growing churches are in Muslim Iran and Communist China. We’ve had missionaries in both! You said, “All things whatever you ask, praying, believe that you will receive, and it will be to you” (Mark 11:24). Yes, Lord, we believe, receive, and thank You for answering our prayers.
In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
