World, Country, and Community

Almighty God, “The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; You founded the world, and all that is in it.” Psalm 89:11 

Thank You for providing us with such a beautiful world. Help the people on earth to care for Your creation responsibly. 

Father, You must be so sad as You look down to earth and see so many people who don’t know about or believe in Jesus. Jesus is our only hope. Give us boldness to reflect the light of Jesus to this dark world. 

Our world has wars and rumors of wars. Bring peace to our world, Father, in Ukraine, Southeast Asia, and the whole earth. 

Many are without shelter, food, and clean water. Please look into their lives and provide what they need. May we have open hands and hearts to their needs. Father, especially be with all the children of the world. They need your love and protection. 

Our country and many of our leaders no longer reflect that this is one nation under God. You are still in control, Lord. Give our leaders wisdom and courage to lead in a godly way. 

Motivate believers throughout the United States to obey You with such love and spirit that we draw people in our communities to desire to know You, God, in a real and personal way. May the love and peace of Jesus be with us all in 2025. 

In the name of Jesus, the Savior, 

Amen
