A Prayer for Jamaica
Father, Jesus is our Salvation. He is the God-revealing light to the non-Jewish nations and the light of glory for Your people Israel. As members of the Body of Christ, we are asking You to give us the nations for an inheritance and the ends of the earth for our possession. All kings shall fall down before You; all nations shall serve You. In the name of Jesus, we bring before You the nation of Jamaica and her leaders. We ask you to rebuke leaders for our sakes, so that we may live a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
We pray that skillful and godly wisdom will enter the heart of Jamaica's leaders and that knowledge shall be pleasant to them, that discretion will watch over them, and that understanding will keep them and deliver them from the way of evil and from the evil men.
We pray that the upright shalll dwell in the government(s), that men and women of integrity, blameless and complete in Your sight, Father, shall remain; but the wicked shall be cut off and the treacherous shall be rooted out. We pray that those in authority winnow the wicked from among the good and bring the threshing wheel over them to separate the chaff from the grain, for loving-kindness and mercy, truth, and faithfulness preserve those in authority, and their office are upheld by the people's loyalty.
Father, we ask that You direct the decisions made by these leaders, and that present leaders who are men and women of discernment, understanding, and knowledge will remain in office so the stability of Jamaica will long continue. We pray that the uncompromisingly righteous will be in authority in Jamaica so the people can rejoice.
Father, it is an abomination for leaders to commit wickedness. We pray that their offices be established and made secure by righteousness and that right and just lips are a delight to those in authority and that they love those who speak what is right.
We pray and believe that the good news of the Gospel is published in this land. We thank You for laborers of the harvest to publish Your word that Jesus is Lord in Jamaica. We thank You for raising up intercessors to pray for Jamaica in Jesus' name. Amen.
