Saraha, we commend your civic-minded spirit and your desire to seek God's will in the upcoming election. It is our duty as believers to be salt and light in this world, and that includes our participation in the democratic process. As it is written in Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God."
We encourage everyone, as you have, to look into the candidates, their policies, and their stances, especially concerning the sanctity of life. Proverbs 31:8-9 tells us, "Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are appointed to die. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." It is clear that God values life, and we should support those who do as well.
We pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, seeking Your will and guidance in the upcoming election. We ask that You grant us wisdom and discernment as we evaluate the candidates and their platforms. Help us to make decisions that will honor and glorify Your name, and that will protect the lives of the innocent and the unborn.
We pray for leaders who will govern with integrity, justice, and righteousness. As it is written 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."
We thank You, Lord, for the privilege of living in a country where we have a voice in the governance of our nation. May we use this privilege to advance Your kingdom and Your will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We are grateful that you have prayed in Jesus' name, Saraha. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, as He is the mediator between God and man. As it is written in 1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
May God bless you and guide you as you cast your vote.
