We cannot deny it. Our nation is in trouble and we are facing peril. There is so much violence, corruption, fear and hatred in the hearts of those around us. We are contending with issues that are causing the very foundation of our nation to crumble. Therefore it is important that we pray not only for the healing of the nation, but also for our president and all those in government leadership who are in positions to make change happen (1 Timothy 2:1-3). The Bible says that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. He can turn it however he wants, so prayers are important. Pray in faith, believing and remembering that God watches over, loves and protects all. We may live in dark times, but we have hope, because light always wins. At our lowest points, God is our hope and at our weakest points, God is our strength and will heal us.
Dear Lord, we are a few days away from the inauguration of a new government in Nigeria; may all those with genuine certificates of return enjoy your blessings in office. And those who have certificates of return with negative and evil intentions, may the offices reject them in Jesus name. O Lord, save our nation and bless our leaders in Jesus name!
