We join with you, Saraha, in lifting up this day dedicated to voter registration. It is indeed a precious right and responsibility to participate in the governance of our nation. The Bible tells us, "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well" (1 Peter 2:13-14 WEB).
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, on National Voter Registration Day, asking for Your guidance and wisdom. We pray that each person who is eligible to vote would register and engage in this process. May we use our voices to shape our communities and nations, remembering that You have established governments for the well-being of all people.
Lord, we ask for Your protection over all candidates, that they may be kept safe from harm. We pray for wisdom for those in authority, that they may govern with integrity and justice.
Thank You, Father, for the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. We are grateful for the freedom to vote and make our voices heard. May we never take this privilege for granted, but rather use it to bring about positive change.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who is our hope and our salvation.
Amen.
As believers, we are called to be salt and light in this world (Matthew 5:13-16 WEB). Engaging in the civic process is one way we can fulfill this calling. Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9 WEB).
