U.S. Election Prayer No. 5: For voters to seek truth and clarity.

***For voters to see through the confusion, chaos and dissonance in the campaign rhetoric and seek truth and clarity as they vote.

Malachi 2:2
If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart'.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
The campaign rhetoric is disheartening. Defamation of character has become the norm in the Republican camp as candidates degrade themselves and each other. The sight and sounds have become confusing. The mixed messages are overwhelming. The verbal dissonance has cluttered issues and distracted us.

This nation, once humbled by the words, "In God we trust." has sought our own way. We have made our desires to mandate the direction of our legal system. As a nation, we have caused our legal system to bend to our desires of convenience and pleasure. Father, I have not prayed against this. Forgive me and pour out prayers from Your Spirit that I may honorably repent. Bring others that we may gather in prayer on behalf of our nation.

Father, lies and immoral, unethical behavior seems pervasive. People are angry; sick and tired of dishonest, self-serving government that spends what we do not have. We are tired of officials who do not lead moral, ethical lives. Help us turn to You.

Many of us want bigger government to meet our needs. We want it to bend to our immediate wants and desires. We have lost sight that Your direction is for our safety. We have forgotten, or we dismiss, that You have structured how we should live as a testimony of Your love for us, that we may find safety, credence, and security if we will be obedient. Instead, we seek immediate gratification of our desires. We have set our own way. Whe have chosen our own path that You have warned, will lead us to destruction.

Cause our hearts to turn and desire Your path, Your way, Your priorities.

Bring us to prayer on how we should respond. Plant prayers in the hearts of believers for truth to rise to surface of all the rhetoric. Open our eyes to truth. Grant us wisdom to see truth. Give us clarity on how to honor You as a nation and return to obedience. Give this nation a renewed spiritual wealth that clarifies a future that honors You. Father, please strengthen us for the road ahead, that Jesus Christ is honored.

In Jesus’ Name.
