Pray Strategically For Specific Individuals In High Places

Here is a note I wrote on my Facebook Page, 'Pray for the church and Pray for the country'. Someone recommended that I put it into a blog, so here you go!




We need to be praying for our nation, obviously, but, how can we pray more specifically, and even more, how can we pray in detail for people/situations without being 'judgmental'. This is something I have struggled with for years, and I know others do as well.
There is a network of people who plan to expand our government and ultimately take away the freedoms of the people. This is how communism always started as well as other tyrannical governments. The people were entertained with other things and didn't pay attention to what was going on in the political world. Now, many are paying attention but it seems like it is too late or too hard for any change to come about.
We can pray for everyone to come to know the Lord. But even better than that, we can pray specifically for people we know to come to know the Lord. I think this applies to the political world as well. We can pray for peace in our nation, and that our leaders will make wise decisions, but, if we have a chaotic leadership, can that happen?
Maybe if we pray prayers like those in the Psalms, that would be effective. Perhaps if we prayed for specific people, God would work either to redeem those people or to stop them in their evil agenda.
So, let's pray for people by name, and situations as well, that God will intervene and show His mighty power. Our futures are at stake as well as the futures of our children, grandchildren, and other descendants.
Put in the comment box any names that come to mind and if you have any prayer leadings for these people, please put those as well.
