Nochaeld, let us enter together before the throne of God and pray for the varied requests at hand. Let us first pray for our nation's leadership transition, as well as touches on jobs, health, finances and many other areas.
We are instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 to pray "...first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." Let us join in prayer for the upcoming transition of power and for protection over President Elect ###, VP ###, their Cabinet and those in authority.
We pray, Father, for a seamless transition of power and grant wisdom for Cabinet picks. Grant loyal men and women agents of the Secret Service and give them angelic protection and guidance, prepare the new House, Senate, and Governors for office and grant our Nation healing and ability to respect each other in free speech and open dialogue, and grant Supreme Court Picks, with Godly leadership. Let Your will be done.
Father, we lift up ###'s job search, interviews and pressing needs related to their career search. Let them not rely on their own strength and abilities, but let them trust in You as described in Daniel 12:4 "But you, ###, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many will run back and forth, and knowledge will increase". Let their applications, cover letters, resumes, and interviews stand out optimally and reveal wisdom, skills and clarity. We pray that they will not take this search lightly, but also present their requests before the Lord in all of these areas with thanksgiving, as stated in Philippians 4:6. Not in our own power, but in the power of the Holy Spirit do we continue.
Father, we you for granting health and protection specifically for ###'s wife, child, children, dad, and sister for both immediate and extended family strength and trust. We pray for angelic protection in Psalms 91:10-11 and favour with your Holy Spirit always as promised in Romans 8:28 "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Let it be to Your will with all of your perfect timing in all aspects of life - including a 2nd car and a truck brake light and maintenance, resting in the knowledge that all of these things are for your glory and kingdom.
We also pray for yourself and your family, our prayer partners, families and friends, neighbors and church with reverence and assurance of Acts 16:31-32, that "They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.'They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house." Let us continue in faith, favor and protection for neighbors to continue in fellowship with one another.
Let us also pray for safety and protection of candidates and elected officials. Let us join in prayer for eradication of evil in U.S. and World Elections. Father, we ask for your hand in this, for governance is on your shoulders, not of man alone. Grant grace and wisdom always.
###, we also note that must ultimately seek Jesus Christ salvation. It is only by His perfect and holy name that we are restored and given a place in the kingdom as outlined and promised. Romans 10:9 assures us “‘that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.’ For the Scripture says, ‘Whoever believes in him will not be disappointed.’” We must ultimately revere the Lord Jesus Christ, believing in faith and grace in salvation.
Finally, let us together enter the prayer of our Lord Jesus Christ to the Father in Matthew 6:9-13:
"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. [no give us this day our daily bread]. Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen."
