Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Governor Mike Parson to your throne of grace, mercy, and love. We give thanks to You for his continued leadership and direction over our state and humbly ask that You would continue to anoint Him for the role of leader of the executive branch. We pray that his will would be in alignment with Your supreme perfect Will. By divine empowerment and influence grant Him the necessary increase in knowledge and wisdom to serve well. Lord, replenish our Governor’s human spirit with your Holy Spirit in order that decisions made would honor You and serve as an extension of your love. Lord, we ask for your sovereign protection over Governor Mike Parson, first lady Teresa Parson, his immediate and extended family. And may Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior always come first in their lives.
We pray for the light of truth and honor to flow through Lieutenant Governor Mike Kehoe, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, State Auditor Nicole Galloway, Attorney General Eric Schmitt, and Treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick. We pray for their continued diligent service and sacrifice, their unyielding desire to be a blessing to the people of Missouri, their acknowledgement to Your absolute sovereignty over all creation, and we pray that Your Love oh God found in Christ alone would be central to their decision making.
Heavenly Father, we pray for our Senators and House Representatives who have not believed in God, would yet come to faith in Jesus Christ through personal acceptance and belief in His Cross and Resurrection. We pray that those indwelt with the Holy Spirit through the born experience would sense the incredible calling as ministers in the institution of Government that You created to the benefit of man. May those who have the pulse of Your heart with a sound Biblical knowledge of the Word of God, be the leaders, movers, and shakers within their peer group of influence in order to honor, elevate and adhere to the truth of Scripture.
Dear Heavenly Father, grant these you have placed in political influence before us today to be filled with all knowledge to successfully govern, the sound understanding of current issues, and the wisdom to proceed under Your supreme governance.
In JESUS Name, AMEN.
