Do you pray for America and our leaders? How do you pray for them, what do you pray? When 2 or more are gathered in His name, there He is with them.

I do pray for my country and our leaders, even the ones I disliked while in office. For my country, I ask that we will return our focus to God and he will heal our land, just as the bible states. As for our leaders, I pray that they will seek Gods guidance and ask for wisdom in the decisions that they make on behalf of all citizens of this great country. I ask that all all of our governing bodies at the federal, state, and local levels will seek God first in all that they do. I pray that we will be a good, moral, and spiritual leader for others to follow all over the world so that we may all prosper in the name of our heavenly father. I just follow what my bible states about how I am supposed to pray for my land and my leaders. Some of those verses are Psalm 33:12, 1 Timothy 2:1-2, and Romans 13:1-7 for example.
That's the gist of what I pray, there are particular details I will add in depending what is going on in our political arena, this is how I do it and what I believe in.

I pray for our leaders to make decisions that promote peace and prosperity and I pray for protection of our military that is stationed abroad.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I pray for the nation and our leaders. I pray for their safety and our freedoms to continue. I pray for more Americans to know Christ today than yesterday. I pray for justice in our courts. I pray for law breakers to be brought to court.

These are awesome prayers. Thanks for your insight my friends. I prayed for Biden and them, too. And pray for the Trump administration. Occasionally I pray for other world leadsrs. I don’t do it daily, I don’t even pray daily to be honest. I get so caught up in life and work. But, when I think of praying I do it. I will drop everything to do it if I am thinking about it, am alone, and have time. I will normally pray for Him to remove all demonic or satanic influence and ideology from our leaders, and I pray for the Lord to convict their hearts to turn to Jesus. I will make more specific prayers, too, but I always ask the Lord to convict their hearts to right in those things. I reflect on when God hardened Pharaoh’s heart.
I think that if you pray for God to soften their hearts, then they will come around. It worked on my wife 👌

When I commuted to work daily, I would pray then. I have to make time now, since retirement. Try to find a regular part of your day when you’re alone.

Prayer can be a dedicated time of quiet and what "everyone thinks of about rayer"
It can also be a daily conversation about things to God.
Don't get caught in the thought that just because you don't kneel down and "pray" that you aren't praying.
God knows whats on our hearts. He also asks us to come to Him with our concerns. It is meant to be a relationship, not just a one way street.

Thankfully I have a hard time going to sleep without praying. Most of the time my prayers involve ASKING - but I try fairly regularly to just pray prayers of THANKS. I pray for our country/world/leaders fairly often, but it is sure not regular. Too far removed from my daily life I guess. I pray for unity of the Church - not sure how that will happen, but I know God can do anything if we ask and believe.

I usually do a lot more asking than thanking. But I sure have a lot to be grateful for.

I pray for unity of the Church - not sure how that will happen, but I know God can do anything if we ask and believe. He will give anything that aligns with His will. We have to be very careful we are not asking for things that do not align to His will. And even when we ask for things that we are fairly certain align to His will, we still have to be patient sometimes. Do not fall prey to the Word faith movement, or the prosperity movement that God wants you to prosper here on earth. There are definitely a few churches I want NO unity with as they are blasphemers and heretics.

Unity of the church can’t happen because of the corruption of men. Absolute power absolutely corrupts.

I think there were lots of prayers after the 2020 election, that right be done, I think God gave us a wake up call by letting the democrats steal that election, because now I know a lot of prayers have been answered, and hopefully a lot of criminals will be brought to justice. The last four years have shown just how evil and looney democrats really are, they do the work of the devil.
