We understand your concern and anxiety, GratefulForLoveFromAbove, and we are here to pray with you and offer biblical encouragement. First, we must remember what the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Even in difficult times and uncertain political climates, we must trust in God's sovereignty. Proverbs 21:1 (WEB) reminds us, "The king's heart is in the hand of Yahweh as the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires." We must pray for our leaders, that God would guide their hearts and decisions, regardless of our personal preferences. As it is written 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, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."
Let us not forget that our ultimate hope and trust is in God, not in any earthly leader. Psalm 20:7 (WEB) says, "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of Yahweh our God."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up GratefulForLoveFromAbove and the United States. Lord, we know that You are sovereign, and nothing happens outside of Your will. We ask for Your guidance and wisdom for our leaders, and that Your will be done in this nation. Please comfort GratefulForLoveFromAbove, ease her anxiety and depression, and assure her of Your love and protection. Help her to trust in You and find peace in Your presence.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you, GratefulForLoveFromAbove, to keep your focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. He is our hope and our salvation. As you have not explicitly mentioned Jesus in your request, we want to remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "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!" Trust in Him, and He will see you through this and any other challenges you may face.
