Pray for the Nations
Because [we] love [our mother country], [we] will not keep still.
Because [our] heart yearns for [our mother country], [we] cannot remain silent.
[we] will not stop praying for [them] until [their] righteousness shines like the dawn, and [their] salvation blazes like a burning torch.
The nations will see your righteousness.
World leaders will be blinded by your glory.
And you will be given a new name by the Lord’s own mouth.
The Lord will hold you in his hand for all to see— a splendid crown in the hand of God.
Never again will you be called “The Forsaken nation” or “The Desolate Land.”
Your new name will be “The [mother country] of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride.
Your children will commit themselves to you, […], just as a young man commits himself to his bride.
Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.
O [mother country], [we] have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the Lord.
Give the Lord no rest until he completes his work, until he makes [your mother country] the pride of the earth.
Isaiah 62:1-7(NLT)
Pray for peace in [your mother country].
May all who love [your mother country] prosper. […]
may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of [our] family and friends, [we] will say, “May you have peace.”
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, [we] will seek what is best for you,
O [mother country].
Psalms 122:6-9(NLT)
