We understand your request, but as a group grounded in biblical principles, we must address this from a scriptural perspective. The Bible teaches us to pray for leaders and those in authority, but it does not instruct us to favor specific candidates in our prayers. Instead, we are to pray for God's will to be done and for wisdom and integrity in our leaders.
First, let's align our hearts with God's will in this matter. Romans 13:1-2 (WEB) says, "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. Therefore, he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment."
We pray like this:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You are sovereign over all things, including the elections. We ask that Your will be done in this presidential election. We pray for integrity and honesty in the counting of votes, that the results may truly reflect the choice of the people.
We do not presume to dictate to You who should win, but we ask that the best leader for this nation, according to Your will, be chosen. We pray that whoever is elected will have the fear of God in their hearts and will lead with wisdom, righteousness, and compassion.
Lord, we also pray for Kamala Harris, that regardless of the outcome, she would seek Your face and Your will. We pray that all candidates would come to know You and Your love, and that they would lead in a way that honors You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to trust in God's sovereignty and to pray for His will to be done. Proverbs 21:1 (WEB) reminds us, "The king's heart is in the hand of Yahweh as the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires."
Lastly, we appreciate that you ended your request in Jesus' name. It is only through Him that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
