Prayer briefing for Liechtenstein
Last updated October 2026. Facts come from the sources listed below.
Current events
Prime Minister Brigitte Haas made an official visit to Vietnam from 17 to 19 October 2026. Export firms are still adjusting to the 15% United States import duty announced in August 2025, as about 7,000 people work for Liechtenstein companies in the US.
We pray for: Immediate relief, safety and urgent help.
Leadership and politics
Liechtenstein is a principality. Prince Hans-Adam II is head of state, and since 2004 Hereditary Prince Alois has carried out the role in practice. Brigitte Haas became the first woman to lead the government in 2025, after a parliamentary election for a four-year term.
We pray for: Wisdom, integrity and justice for those in authority.
Economic health
The economy is about 7.8 billion Swiss francs (2024), with one of the highest incomes per person in the world. Industry makes up about 40% and banking and finance about 20%. Unemployment was about 2% in May 2026.
We pray for: Provision for families and honest stewardship.
Social and cultural issues
About 41,000 people live in Liechtenstein. Past reports noted verbal harassment of Muslim immigrants and that women wearing headscarves faced discrimination in housing and jobs.
We pray for: Reconciliation, peace and protection of the vulnerable.
Spiritual landscape
In 2020 about 70% of people were Catholic, about 8% Protestant, about 6% Muslim and about 10% without religion. There is a very small Jewish community.
We pray for: Spiritual awakening, hope and the spread of truth.
Religious freedom
The constitution names Catholicism as the state religion, and the government also supports the Protestant churches. The US State Department has reported that religious freedom is generally respected. There is no mosque or Muslim cemetery.
We pray for: Protection for believers and freedom to worship safely.
Historical wounds
The principality was founded in 1719 and became independent in 1806. A 2003 constitutional reform widened the powers of the prince, and voters rejected a 2012 proposal to reduce them.
We pray for: National healing, breaking old cycles and deep forgiveness.
Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for Liechtenstein. Guard its leaders on their journeys and give help to those whose work is affected by trade changes. Grant Prince Hans-Adam II, Hereditary Prince Alois, Prime Minister Brigitte Haas and all in authority wisdom, integrity and justice. Provide good work for every family, and make this nation a generous steward of what it has. Help people of every background to live in respect and peace, and protect newcomers who feel alone. Stir fresh hope and faith in Jesus in every village, and keep every believer free to worship safely. Heal any old divisions, and lead the nation in forgiveness and peace. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
