U.S. Election: Prayer No. 1: For Prayerful Selection as we Vote

***That our nation prayerfully choose our leaders.

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the privilege You have given me to be born and lived in the United States. Father, this nation has turned from You and we have gone our own way. Forgive me for not praying more fervently. Forgive me for not “getting involved” in politics. Forgive me for not vetting out leaders before elections and for not seeking You on behalf of this nation. I have become complacent. Forgive me and help me change.

You are sovereign. Thank You. You choose leaders who bring about the circumstances where we may choose who we will serve. It seems our nations has chosen very poorly as every aspect of our living seems to have turned away from You. Our government, education, culture, and commerce are in grave disrepair.

Father, our leadership appears to be defiant against You and against Christians. Our culture demands outward acceptance and affirmation of all You despise. Help Lord. We need leadership and a return to Your ways.

Daniel 2:20-21 KJV
20 Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings

It seems we are at a crossroads as we are choosing our next President. Move in our hearts to choose the President that would cause our nation to come before You in humility. Holy Spirit, humble us. Drive us before the Throne of Grace. Revive Your church to plead the case of this nation before You. Cause Your church to drive out the sin in our own individual lives, that we may rightly plead the cause of this nation.

Help Lord. Raise up pastors to preach about sin. Raise up churches to repent. Raise up leaders both in the church and in our political realm to walk in the counsel of the godly. Show us the path to once again delight in Your law.

We have entered the backstretch on the road to November 8. We need Your guidance and Your vision. Have mercy on us and show each of us our part. Help us to restore Your Word, in our hearts, in our minds, in our government, our finances, our educational system, our nation at large.

In Jesus' Name
