U.S. Election: Prayer No. 6: For discernment, clarity and godly demeanor

***For the Body of Christ to seek His will diligently and walk forthrightly during the election seasion.

Romans 13:1
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
God of heaven and earth, praise and glory belong to You alone. You are the True and Living God and You protect and give discernment to those who ask. You are the Author of wisdom and truth. You promise to give wisdom if we ask. We are asking.

James 1:5
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

Shower down Your wisdom from heaven upon those who diligently seek You. Immerse us in understanding that can come only from You. Our nation is in peril. We are fractured. We are torn. We are confused. Yet...we know that You are not the God of confusion.

1 Corinthians 4:33
For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Yet, confusion reigns in our land. The election coverage promotes discord and not peace. The challenges of discernment are complicated and the media has a specific agenda to further confound and confuse. We need You. We need Your discernment.

Hear our prayer of God. Our choices seem so difficult. We turn to the right and we turn to the left and no matter where we look, we see godlessness. Confusion reigns everywhere.

Silence our mental wanderings and quiet our spirit that we can clearly hear Your Spirit. Through You alone we can have true wisdom. Through You alone, we can know how to respond to the overwhelming torrent of media coverage. Through You alone, we can know how to manage conversations as we go about our day.

Bring the Body of Christ in the U.S. to prayer fervently, urgently, and diligently regarding the elections. May we pour out praise to You, God of our Salvation, for You promise that You inhabit the praises of Your people.

Psalm 22:3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

And You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us rise up and praise You for the great and mighty work that You are doing. May our hearts be open to see that You alone are the God of our Salvation.

Let us pray in faith, in confidence, knowing that You hear our prayers and although Your ways are not our ways, we can put our trust in You.

Isaiah 55: 8-9
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Help us, that we may stand strong and that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
