Pray for Countries of the World Homeschool Project

There are currently 195 recognized countries in the world, but this list includes Taiwan and Kosovo for a total of 197 countries.

To pray for every country in one year, you’ll need to pray for 16-17 countries each month. I’ve assigned the countries alphabetically to each month of the year. However, by praying for one country every weekday you can actually cover every country over the course of a school year if your summers are hectic and you prefer to organize it that way.

You can download my free calendar for February to pray for countries of the world, along with a few questions for your kids to learn a little bit more about a country of their choice.

Scripture to Pray for Countries of the World

In addition to praying for the specific government leaders, missionaries, aid organizations, and most importantly, that individual people in each country would accept the good news of Jesus Christ, you can use scripture to pray for the world.

Pray for all the earth to worship God…

The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him.

Psalm 22:27

All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.

Psalm 86:9

I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Acts 26:17-18

Pray for missionaries and Christians living in these countries to share their faith…

Pray for us, too, that God will give us many opportunities to speak about his mysterious plan concerning Christ.

Colossians 4:3

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:1-4
