Heavenly Father,

We lift up the Global Leadership Forum to You, with grateful hearts for this historic gathering. May Your name be glorified in every conversation, every connection, and every decision made. Let this event be a powerful testimony of Your faithfulness across the generations.

Lord, we ask for Your hand to be upon all travel arrangements—especially for our global leaders. Make the way smooth for them; may visas be approved, flights be timely, and transitions be seamless.

Prepare our hearts, Father. Give us a spirit of humility and unity, that we may come together with open minds and willing hearts to collaborate and understand one another deeply.

May there be great joy and anticipation as we prepare to gather as one global family. We look forward to how you will fill the space with the sweet presence of Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ Holy name we pray, Amen.
