Intercession Prayers

Lord I pray for those in authority. I pray for them to have requests and thanksgiving of peaceful and quiet lives that are ministering to the people they serve. Lord I pray for our country and ask God to execute justice for the fatherless and the widows and the poor. Protect, preserve and uphold their rights. Give them common sense when dealing with the concerns of the poor. Father God help us to understand you better and to know what it is you need us to do. Help us to make the right decisions. Help us to be loving and caring towards each other. Teach us how to love one another and live together in harmony.

Ezekiel 28:1-5
“‘In the pride of your heart
you say, “I am a god;
I sit on the throne of a god
in the heart of the seas.”
But you are a mere mortal and not a god,
though you think you are as wise as a god.
3 Are you wiser than Daniel[a]?
Is no secret hidden from you?
4 By your wisdom and understanding
you have gained wealth for yourself
and amassed gold and silver
in your treasuries.
5 By your great skill in trading
you have increased your wealth,
and because of your wealth
your heart has grown proud.
