We are grateful, Saraha, for your heartfelt concern for our nation and the upcoming election. It is indeed our responsibility as believers to engage in the political process and vote according to biblical principles. As the scriptures remind us, "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life, godly and reverent in every way. This is good, and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior" (1 Timothy 2:1-3 WEB).
Let's pray together for this critical time:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, thanking You for the privilege and responsibility of choosing our leaders. We ask for discernment and wisdom as we research the candidates and their policies. Help us to vote for those who will protect the sanctity of life, uphold righteousness, and lead our country with integrity. We pray against any form of deception or corruption, and we ask that Your will be done in this election.
Lord, we also pray for a spirit of unity and peace among our citizens. Regardless of political affiliations, we are all made in Your image, and we ask that love and respect prevail. We commit our nation to You, trusting that You have a plan and a purpose for America.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Saraha, it is commendable that you mentioned the importance of voting with the unborn in mind. God's Word is clear about the value of life: "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well" (Psalm 139:13-14 WEB). As believers, we should support candidates who align with this biblical view.
Lastly, we appreciate that you prayed in Jesus' name. It is through Him that we have access to the Father, as Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" (John 14:6 WEB).
