This thread is both a call to pray for our leaders and to share prayers raised up for our leaders, including elected officials at all levels, titans of industry, the military and the police. I would also suggest we pray for revival.
It is not another thread to share political views.
To that end, consider wisely what you pray, for your prayers go before the Almighty God, who judges all. He knows our motives. I have no connections, even remote, to our leaders, even at the state and local level. But I do know the Creator of the Universe, the One True God, maker of heaven and earth and He hears our prayers.
How and why should we pray for our leaders? Why is it important for us to pray for our leaders?

First of all, then,
I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man[
a] Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 1 Tim 2:1-6
A prayer
Dear Father in heaven, may Your name be kept holy. May Your Kingdom come soon.
May Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10).
First, we pray for all people of the world. May as many as possible put their hope and trust in Jesus. We pray for the leaders within the world. May they yield to Your authority no matter what they personally believe. May more and more people understand the absolute truth about Your love for them (John 3:16). For there is only one God and He has sent a great Mediator, His Son, Jesus, the Christ, to reconcile God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:1-5).
We pray for the leaders of our nation, that they would humble themselves, that even if they have not put their faith in You, that they would be humbled like Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4 & 5. We pray that you would turn their hearts to lead in truth, goodness and righteousness.
We pray this in the Name of Jesus our Lord and Savior,
Amen
