10 prayer points for my country or nation. - November, 2024

In these last days, there are more self-consumed Christians than there are kingdom-minded Christians. Many Christians only pray for themselves and their immediate families, forgetting that their welfare is affected by happenings in their communities, nations, the organisation they work for, activities of their business partners, decisions made by their bosses and landlords, collective agreements of industries, policies made by the government and lots more. 

While we are not of the world, a Deliberate Christian must be spiritually conscious that we still reside in the world. God expects us to deploy the dominion mandate he has given us over all nooks and crannies of the earth. When we say “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” while reciting the Lord’s prayer, we are indirectly saying Lord, make us vessels to propagate your kingdom on earth. 

A self-consumed Christian is like the rich fool in Luke who was only concerned about himself and his wealth. There is a godly purpose for our existence and for all that God blesses us with. 

Today, we would be praying for our land. Our land refers to our place of habitation or where we dwell. We are fed, clothed, housed and supported in so many ways by the proceeds of land. As we pray, the Lord will bless our land for our sustenance in Jesus name. 

Prayer of thanksgiving for my country or nation

1. Thank the Lord because the earth and its fullness are his.
2. Thank the Lord for the land he has assigned to you and assigned you to. God never makes mistakes. Wherever you are now is the portion of the earth he owns.
3. Thank him that you are still being fed from the land. Thank him that he has kept safe from natural disasters and deadly pestilence 

prayer of forgiveness for sins of my country or the land

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land (2 Chronicles 7:14 NLT)

Oh Lord of our salvation forgive the sin of my country and restore our land.

Prayer for God’s mercy for my country or land

What sorrow for the land ruled by a child, the land whose leaders feast in the morning. Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader and whose leaders feast at the proper time to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk. (Ecclesiastes 10:16‭-‬17 )

Lord have mercy on our land. Deliver us from the sorrow caused by childish leaders who feast when they ought to work. 

Prayer for cleansing of my country or land

We cleanse our land from all forms of defilement and desecration. We sanctify all 4 corners of our land with the blood of Jesus and speak better things over it in Jesus name(Leveticus 18:25). It is a land flowing with milk and honey, it is green. It is safe, secure and progressive in Jesus name 

Prayer for justice in my country

Oh Lord, Fill our land with your fear, truth and righteousness in Jesus name.

Prayer for restoration of the lost glory of my country or nation

Lord release your blessings on our land, restore its lost fortunes and cause our land to yield bountiful harvest.

Prayer for protection of the sovereignty of my country

Lord rid our land of wild animals and keep our enemies out. We declare the peace of God over our land and its borders. We will not dwell in fear and hopelessness in Jesus name.(Leveticus 26:6)

Prayer for blessing in my country

Oh Lord let your glory rest upon our land. Let my glory find expression in this land. I will not labour in vain in this land. I will be a witness to the good times of this land. My children will be blessed in this land in Jesus name 

Prayer for answered prayers

Thank the Lord for answered prayers over our country. Whenever we call on you, you answer and we believe you have answered us in Jesus name.
