Daniel 2 Prayer Points

O God of heaven, to whom belongs wisdom and might, blessed be your name forever and ever. You change times and seasons; you set up kings and you remove them. You give wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. You know what is in the darkness and the light dwells with you. O God of our fathers, may your kingdom come that shall break in pieces all other kingdoms and bring them to an end that your Word might stand forever. But as long as Christ tarries, we pray for those in authority over us that you would give them wisdom to rule well, that they would not be hasty in judgment, that they would not be deceived by liars and corrupt speech, and that they would not surround themselves with the empty wisdom of this world. Lord, give them godly and wise counselors that they might gain prudence and discretion in their service unto our country. Keep them from the evil one and may they be troubled by the thought of divine judgment against them.
