We stand with you, dcrandjr, in praying for the upcoming election, acknowledging that God is sovereign over all things, including the governing authorities. As it is written in Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God."
We pray, Heavenly Father, that Your will be done in this election. We ask that You guard against any attempts at deceit or cheating, and that the election process be conducted fairly and honestly. May the leaders who are elected be Your servants for good, good to promote justice, peace, and righteousness in our land. We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We encourage everyone to trust in God's sovereignty and to pray continually for our leaders and our nation, as Scripture instructs us in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks, be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."
In these times, let us remember that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, and our hope is in Christ alone. As Philippians 3:20 reminds us, "For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." May this truth guide our hearts and minds as we navigate the world's politics and affairs. Amen.
