Countdown to Uganda: Praying for the GOVERNMENT LEADERS

In preparation for my trip to Uganda in September, I'm praying for a different aspect of the Ugandan ministry each week of the month.  This week I'll be praying for the GOVERNMENT LEADERS in Uganda.  Specifically, I plan to...

• Pray that governmental leaders would lead with righteousness. Pray specifically for guidance and wisdom for President Museveni and for all of Uganda’s governmental ministers.
• Pray for God to raise up a new generation of leaders for Uganda so Ugandans may follow in His paths and that righteousness may be exalted in the nation. In Africa, everything rises and falls on leadership.
• Pray for the security of Uganda. The rebel group the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) has been kidnapping children, forcing them to either be sex slaves or fight and kill innocent villagers for about 20 years.
• Pray for justice and peace between the government and the LRA.

Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.  --Proverbs 11:14

If a king judges the poor fairly, his throne will last forever.   --Proverbs 29:14

Good leaders abhor wrongdoing of all kinds;  sound leadership has a moral foundation.  --Proverbs 16:12

I found the verses above through a general Google search.  I'm learning more about where in my B.I.B.L.E. I should look for certain passages, but I sure am ready to know His Word fully.  I can't fully use it as armor until I know it and study it and immerse myself in it.  The Kindle just ain't cuttin' it.  (Although it is easier to fly with and I can find things pretty quickly if I know where I'm headed.)
