God of the Nations,
Thank you for your sovereignty over this nation and the world. Even when we don't see it, we know you are working things out for our good. Thank you for laughing at those in earthly power who scheme to cast off your sovereignty. Pour out your Spirit on this world and reveal your eternal purpose for this nation. We ask you to give us the nations for the Kingdom of Christ - that the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord and be your legacy. We know that your dominion stretches to the ends of the earth and that in your timing you will shepherd them with authority and crush their rebellion. May nations turn to you, serve you, and worship you; may they recognize your greatness and bow in reverence before you. May your blessings be poured out on all those who turn from ungodliness and hide themselves in you. In the strong name of Christ I pray, Amen.
"How dare the nations plan a rebellion.
Their foolish plots are futile!
Look at how the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit
as the rulers scheme and confer together against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying:
“Let’s come together and break away from the Creator.
Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains of God and his Christ!”

"God-Enthroned merely laughs at them; the Sovereign One mocks their madness!
Then with the fierceness of his fiery anger he settles the issue and terrifies them to death with these words: “I myself have poured out my King on Zion, my holy mountain.

“I will reveal the eternal purpose of God.
For he has decreed over me, ‘You are my favored Son.
And as your Father I have crowned you as my King Eternal.
Today I became your Father.
Ask me to give you the nations and I will do it,
and they shall become your legacy.
Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.
And you will shepherd them with unlimited authority,
crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’ ”

"Listen to me, all you rebel-kings
and all you upstart judges of the earth.
Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God.
Recognize his greatness and bow before him,
trembling with reverence in his presence.
Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son
before his anger is roused against you.
Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled!
But many blessings are waiting for all
who turn aside to hide themselves in him!" (Psalm 2, TPT)
