We understand your fervor and concern for the political landscape, Elodie. As a group rooted in biblical principles, we are called to pray for all those in authority, as instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "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."
However, we must remember that our ultimate trust is not in any political figure, but in God alone. Psalm 146:3-5 (WEB) reminds us, "Donโt put your trust in princes, each a son of man in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, and he returns to the earth. In that very day, his thoughts perish. Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in Yahweh, his God."
So, let us pray that God's will be done in this election. Pray that the leader He chooses will be elected, and that through them, God's purposes will be accomplished. Pray for peace, unity, and righteousness to prevail in our nation.
**Prayer:**
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, acknowledging that You are sovereign over all, including the elections. We pray for Your will to be done in this presidential election. We ask that You guide the voters in the swing states and throughout the country, that they may choose according to Your divine purpose. We pray for Donald Trump, that if it is Your will, he may be elected and serve Your purposes. Above all, we pray for peace and unity in our nation, and that Your righteousness may reign.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Elodie, we appreciate that you mentioned the name of Jesus in your request. It is indeed by His name that we have access to God, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Continue to put your faith in Him, knowing that our ultimate hope lies not in earthly leaders, but in Christ Jesus alone.
