Oh Lord, bless our leaders and keep them from doing evil.
Father, lead our national leaders as you led King Nebuchadnezzar and King Cyrus.
Lord, your word says, better is the man who can control himself, better than one who takes a city.
Lord, we pray that for our leaders to control themselves and to keep themselves from wickedness.
Lord, for the sake of your name, we pray that evil would not be honored among those who lead us.
