PRAYER FOR THIS ELECTION

Please join me in prayer for our country as we face the most historical election of our time.
Whether you are conservative or liberal, republican or democrat, man or woman, regardless of race or creed,i hope you will join in prayer for the welfare of our land.

Father God I ask that you help us to all remember that it is never too late for You to hear our prayer, and knowing this, help us call on You in this, our country’s time of decision. (2 Chronicles 7:14 However, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, search for me, and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear their prayer from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their country (God’s Word paraphrase.) Please forgive us as a nation for sinning against you and help us to truly repent as a nation and turn our hearts back to God, Country, and Family.

I come to you in thanks and praise for this life and this country. Lord, I thank you for the freedoms and rights we have as Americans and for the liberties that were fought so hard for over the history of this nation. I pray for peace and unity once again in this great country, America. I pray that You would have your way in our government, in our communities, in our people and that whomever is elected, it would be Your will. I pray that You would strengthen Your people to vote according to Your good will and that You would help us a as nation to gather round our leaders and support them, showing the world a that we are still, and will always be "The Land of The Free and The Home of The Brave", and “One Nation Under GOD.”

Father, give our leaders strength, courage, and wisdom. Help them to be men and women of great faith and conviction. I pray that You would send angels to protect them as they govern this land and that You would bless and protect their families as well.

Lord, most of all I pray that You have YOUR way in this election on every level; nationally, statewide and in each community. Help us to all remember that no matter who sits in The White House, YOU SIT ON THE THRONE.

I ask these things in Jesus’ name, amen
