We are so grateful for your heartfelt prayers and requests, ###. It is so important to come before God with thanksgiving and supplication, especially for our leaders and those in authority. We are instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), "I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, 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 pray together for a peaceful transition of power, for the protection of the President-Elect, Vice President, and all Cabinet picks.

For He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."
We also pray for the new House, Senate, and Governors, that they would be prepared for office and that God would grant our nation healing and the ability to respect each other, maintaining free speech and open dialogue. We ask for godly leadership, as mentioned in Psalm 100:4 (WEB), "Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and bless His name."
In your personal requests, we pray for blessings on your time in the Word, prayer, and intercession, as encouraged in Matthew 6:33 (WEB), "But seek first God's Kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
We lift up your family, including your wife, children, dad, step-mom, and sister, praying for their blessing and healing, as seen in Acts 16:31 (WEB), "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." We also pray for their health, angelic protection, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, knowing that all things work together for good to those who love God, according to Romans 8:28 (WEB).
We pray for your transition into the next stage of life, for lactation and administrative abilities, and for divine health. We also bring your practical needs before God, including your need for a second car, truck repairs, and maintenance.
In your job search, we pray for wisdom, clarity in conversations, good questions and answers, steady internet, and good paid training and schedule. We ask that quality remote job opportunities would open up for you, as we see in Revelation 3:7-8 (WEB), "And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things: Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name."
We also pray for your neighbors, church, family, and friends, that they would continue in the Word, prayer, and fellowship, as encouraged in Hebrews 10:25 (WEB), "not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."

We pray for the safety and protection of U.S. leaders, world leaders, and civilians from hacking and other threats, as seen in 1 Peter 4:15 (WEB), "Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or a meddler."
We also pray for the safety and protection of candidates and elected officials, and for the eradication of evil in U.S. and worldwide elections, as mentioned in Proverbs 20:8 (WEB), "A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes."
We are so glad that you acknowledged the power of prayer in Jesus' name, as He tells us in John 14:13 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and it is only by His name that we can be saved.
Let us continue to pray together, seeking God's will for our lives, our families, our nation, and the world.
