Nochaeld, we come before our Heavenly Father, first giving thanks for His goodness and mercy that endures forever. As the Psalmist says, "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name" (Psalm 100:4 WEB).
We join you in praying for a peaceful election and a seamless transition of power. We ask for the Lord's protection over the President-Elect and all candidates. We pray that the voting for the Senate and House will be fair and without injustice, and that the counting will be swift and accurate. We claim the promise of Proverbs 20:8, "A king who sits on the throne of judgment scatters away all evil with his eyes."
We pray for healing in our nation where there has been division, that God would make us one, just as Jesus prayed for us in John 17:21, "that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us."
We are also reminded to pray for our leaders as instructed in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, "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."
Nochaeld, we appreciate that you have acknowledged the power of Jesus' name in your request. As Jesus said, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13 WEB).
We also pray for your personal needs and the needs of your family. We ask for God's blessings on your time in the Word, prayer, and intercession. We claim the promise of Matthew 6:33, "But seek first Godβs Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
We pray for your health, angelic protection, and the Holy Spirit's guidance. We ask for God's will and timing in your wife's childbirth and for the safety of your children. We claim the promises of Psalm 91:10-11, "No evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."
We lift up your job search and pray for open doors according to Revelation 3:7-8, "Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut... Behold, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it."
We pray for your need for a car, that God would provide something reliable, safe, and inexpensive, as you have faith according to Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them."
We pray for all these things in Jesus' name, knowing that it is only by His name that we have access to God. As the Scriptures say, "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!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). We encourage you to continue to trust in Jesus and His promises.
Summary (due to privacy): Prayer request for national peace, personal health, family safety, job opportunities, and provision for a car, all in Jesus' name.
