Heavenly Father, your word tells us to pray for our leaders. 1 Timothy 2:1-3. Please keep them under your watchful eye. Help them to make good decisions and to work selflessly on behalf of the people of this country. Please help them to stop name calling, finger pointing, blaming, and avoiding the truth. Father we pray that you would protect us from our enemies and keep us out of the hands of those who don't have our best interest at heart. Lord if the Russian leader had any plans that were, or are not for our good, please reveal it to the world and have it be rectified. We are a free sovereign nation, not perfect by any means Father, but we have no desire to be controlled or manipulated by any government whose plans are not to better our country. Help us Lord to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, provide shelter for the homeless and protect the innocent and helpless. Help us to abide by your laws and to walk in your way. This we ask in Jesus name. Amen.

Prayer for the people
Heavenly Father, this morning we pray for children who are abandoned, women who are abused, families who are separated, fathers who are looking for jobs, every man and woman serving in the military, the elderly who feel abandoned, hearts that are broken and even pets that are unwanted. Father cover them with your love like a blanket on a bed. Offer them hope, lead them to people who will help them, speak to them in ways that let them know that you are with them, and be an answer to their prayers, not a genie in a bottle, but a loving God and creator. You are our savior. Help us to be your hands and feet, your arms and legs, your heart and voice to those who are in need. Help us to be a part of the solution. May we even help abandoned animals in any way that we can. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
They will know we are Christians by our love.

For our nation
Heavenly Father, we, your people who are called by your name, are humbling ourselves in prayer. Please hear our prayers and heal our land. Cover your people with peace. Protect us from angry retribution. Help our leaders to work together for the benefit of our people and not just for themselves. Give
us leaders who are filled with wisdom and knowledge and who are able to do your will. Your word says you hold the heart of the king in your hand, so Lord please cause world leaders to seek compromise, peace, cooperation and reconciliation with one another. Please Bless this country and your people, in Jesus name. Amen
