Daniel 2:20-21Please pray with me:
20 Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
Heavenly Father,
Our nation is at a crossroads. Our leadership has turned from You and we have become complacent. We are a nation divided in so many ways. Government has grown and so has our national debt.
I have not been involved. I have not prayed as I should for our leaders and for our nation. I have sat on the sidelines and watched, when You have made it so easy for me to make a difference by coming to You in prayer. Please forgive me and grant me prayers, led by Your Spirit, that I may be found faithful when I stand before You.
Father, the elections loom before us. You are the God of wisdom and power. True wisdom and power belong to You. So does truth and mercy! Help Lord! We need wisdom as we choose who will be in this powerful office of President.
Expose the lies that proliferate the media. Loose the controls that cover up the truth about these candidates. Prick the heart of every aspect of the media to report honestly and to choose their words and print carefully. Give viewers and listeners discernment to know within our spirit how we can pray and how we should vote.
Father, we have lost vision for our nation. We are divided in so many ways. Every person finding ways to do what is right in his or her own eyes.
Judges 21:25This verse sounds like the U.S. Even churches have joined in. Many have become reprobate as You told us would happen. Are we past revival? Is anything too hard for You? What must we undergo to return to a godly nation?
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Proverbs 14:12
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
We need Your help. We need a wake-up call to Your Church, to arise and pray. Convict us to pour out our hearts before You that we would return to godly principles. As we watch the elections, as we listen to the news, pour out prayers on the hearts of believers, that we may bring them before Your throne of grace and mercy.
Forgive us for gauging what is right through our own desires, rather than heeding Your Word and following the path of security and safety that You have outlined. Open our eyes to see the path of confession, repentance, and bring us to prayer that we may have discernment as we choose the next President of the United States.
In Jesus’ Name.
