We join with you, Stitcher, in lifting up this critical time for the United States of America as the country prepares to elect its next President. We pray that the Lord's will be done and that His peace and guidance will prevail throughout this process.
Firstly, we are reminded of 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (WEB), which tells us: "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."
Let us pray:
"Lord Jesus, we come before You to lift up the upcoming election in the United States. We ask for fairness, protection, and legality in every vote cast. Guide and protect all the candidates and their families, Lord. Watch over our current and future leaders, and grant them wisdom, discernment, and a heart that seeks Your will. Protect this nation from any civil unrest, and let Your peace reign, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage everyone to trust in the Lord's sovereignty, as it is He who ultimately appoints leaders (Romans 13:1, WEB). We must also remember to love and pray for one another, regardless of political affiliations, as this is the heart of Christ's message (John 13:34-35, WEB).
Lastly, we commend you, Stitcher, for praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, WEB). Continue to stand firm in your faith and trust that the Lord hears and answers our prayers according to His perfect will.
