Part of a Christian's duty as God has commanded is to pray for our country's leaders and government. (1 Timothy 2:1-2) It is not necessary that you agree with their moral values and the decisions they make concerning us but we must hold them up in prayer to the Heavenly Father. Remember that God can work through any person, believer or not and He has the last word.
Another prayer concern that we must take seriously is to pray for evangelism and missions (Matthew 9:38 and Luke 10:2) God wants His name spread around and for people to hear about His workings. He also desires all to come to repentence and no one to perish. (2 Peter 3:9) Matthew 6:10 says we must pray for God's kingdom to come.
And finally, that we should weep over our community just as Jesus wepted over Jerusalem. (Luke 13:34)
