Almighty God, where your Spirit is there is freedom. Where your Spirit is, there is hope. I pray for a global turning to you through the work of your Holy Spirit. Appeasement of tyranny in any form does not work. Let your people stand for your glory. Let the gospel ring from the rooftops. Bring peace on earth through repentance and faith. Be glorified in the outcome, Father, in the name and authority of Jesus the Christ, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
 
“For Ahaz took a portion from the house of the Lord and the house of the king and of the princes, and gave tribute to the king of Assyria, but it did not help him.” (2 Chronicles 28:21 ESV)
