Let us first address the gratitude and praise toward God for the authorities that allow us to live peaceful and godly lives. We are reminded in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings 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." We commend you for your prayer in this regard, and we join you in praising God for His provision.
We pray for a seamless transition of power, wisdom for cabinet picks, and protection for President-Elect ###, VP ###, and all elected officials. God's Word in Psalm 91:10-11 assures us that no harm will overtake those who trust in Him. We pray for angelic protection and loyal Secret Service agents to keep them safe.
We also pray for the new House, Senate, and Governors, that they may be prepared for office and that our nation may experience healing and the ability to respect each other, with free speech and open dialogue. As Psalm 100:4 encourages us, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name."
You have rightly included the Lord's Prayer, affirming that our daily needs and the kingdom's advancement are in His hands. We stand with you in praying this foundational prayer.
We also lift up your health concerns and those of your family. We pray for the radiology department to accurately interpret your imaging and for angelic protection and the Holy Spirit's guidance over your wife, children, and the upcoming childbirth. We trust in Psalm 91:10-11 and Romans 8:28, knowing that all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to His purpose.
For your job search and professional endeavors, we pray for open doors and the right opportunities. May Revelation 3:7-8 be fulfilled in your life, where God opens doors that no one can shut. We pray for wisdom, clarity, and the necessary tech skills, as well as steady internet and good paid training.
We also pray for your neighbors, church family, and friends, that they may continue in the Word, prayer, and fellowship, as encouraged in Hebrews 10:25. May faith, favor, and protection be with them.
Lastly, we address your request for safety and protection of candidates and elected officials, and the eradication of evil in elections. We stand on Proverbs 20:8, Isaiah 33:15, 1 Timothy 2:1-2, and Titus 1:11, trusting that God will bring justice and protect those who serve Him.
We are grateful that you have mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, as it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. John 14:13 assures us, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
Let us now pray together:
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus, giving You thanks for Your divine intervention in our lives and the lives of our leaders. We ask for Your wisdom, protection, and guidance for President-Elect ###, VP ###, and all elected officials. Heal our nation, Lord, and let Your love and peace reign. Guide ### and their family, granting them health, protection, and the right opportunities. May Your will be done, and Your kingdom come. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
