Election 2020: Standing strong ...for such a time as this

Gracious Father,
Begotten and promised Son,
Spirit of the Living God,

Thank You for this day. Thank You for this time when so much is active. I pray for all who are waiting for fraud to be exposed, for Truth to be exalted, and the ruse of this election brought forth. It’s bigger than the election and so much is at stake. Hold us strong. Encourage our souls and spirits that we stand with expectancy and excitement and in confidence that You have not abandoned us.

We wait on You. Thank You that You are have not turned from our petitions. Wow…Israel was in Egypt for over 400 years when You turned towards them and released them from their bondage..and then that lengthy walk in the desert. They had to wait for generations. But You have given us Your Word, and it indicates that this time of waiting will soon be over. I believe Your Word.

We wait expectantly! My mind is like a pendulum - swinging to and fro. At one end I think, “Will something happen today?”…and my excitement heightens and my hope looks for news. And on the other end I think, “Will I need to wait for days, weeks, or months…for Your salvation to come?” For all of us, watching and waiting - keep our eyes peeled on You and Your work.

There is work to be done in this waiting room. May we not miss it. May we keep Your will forefront…that all men be saved. Father, if this nation is not saved, then the ability to proclaim the Gospel will be greatly diminished. We know that persecution grows the church. But I ask that we can again be One Nation Under God and that we, as a nation, come to our senses and use the privilege of freedom to proclaim the Gospel.

The Book of Esther has received increased attention during these times of turmoil. Perhaps there is a message for us today. You allowed the enemy to come against Your chosen people. Haman was received into the palace! …and his confidence grew and grew. He dined there! ...while he had gallows built for the death of Your servant, Mordecai. (Esther 7-9) Is there a parallel?

I will not fret if our “palace” is occupied by the enemy.
I will not lose hope if everything we see continues to raise up lies against our nation.
I will not be swayed into thinking that You have abandoned us.

It seems to be going “down to the wire.” I ask that it be a “trip wire”…that quickly brings down the house of cards.

The plot was exposed to Your servants, but the plan to counter that plot.. took time. Esther was so shrewd to wait, and to stealthy allow Haman to think he was getting away with his evil. What is so interesting is —at just the exact moment, while the King was contemplating that Haman was a traitor…that Haman tripped and fell on Esther —just when the king returned to the room. Is there a parallel? That was more than Esther planned on! Did you slip a banana peel at just the right time?

Are “We the people” who have been betrayed...the king?
Will You make it clear to us that we have been betrayed?
Would You cause an act to expose where Truth lies – beyond any doubt! …that this nation may come together again?
I ask it.

Haman, behind the back of the king, built gallows for the demise of Mordecai. It seems clear that the deep state has done the same for this nation.

Will You expose the instruments of death that have been devised by our enemies?
Will You cause ALL of the enemy to be exposed?
Will You have them held publicly responsible?
I ask it.

We come humbly before. We see how You have managed a similar situation in the past. We know that You alone are able to save us. I bow before You and ask Your mercy.
