1 Timothy 2:1-4 NIV … First of all, I make requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving for everyone; for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 


Heavenly Father, I thank you for our great UNITED States of America. Because we are a Nation whose God is the Lord, I can decree … America is BLESSED! America is FREE! America is SAVED!

(Psalms 33:12)


Father, as I pray concerning leaders in our nation, I declare by faith that You bring us leaders who walk in wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You.

And then according to Your word, You said, “My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood—in safe houses, in quiet gardens.....you will enjoy a blessed life, planting well-watered fields and gardens, with your farm animals grazing freely” (Isaiah 32:18, 20). And this is the vision I see and believe for America.
