God of victory, bless those in the ministry of intercession. Protect them from enemy attacks as they pray for our political leaders, for the salvation of those in darkness, for healing for the sick and for the needs of the church family. Give them a spirit of perseverance and fervor. Use them to carry out Your purposes, to Your praise and glory. Keep them pure from sin that would hinder their prayers. May they pray in Spirit and in truth. Amen.
