Pray and Vote Biblical Standards
With elections just days away, our great nation needs much prayer coverage. We Americans have the privilege to vote on who will govern us. As Christians we need to consider candidates who value what God values and cast our ballot for those who stand for biblical standards.
Let’s ponder this Scripture: “I have heard all about you, Lord.I am filled with awe by your amazing works. In this time of our deep need,help us again as you did in years gone by. And in your anger, remember your mercy.” (Habakkuk 3:2 NLT)
Here are two selections from our latest book, Warfare Prayers for Women.
A Declaration for Praying for Our Nation
I declare that I will be a good citizen by voting for officials and representatives in all branches of government who have godly principles. I will pray for peace in my city, county, state, and nation, and stand against tactics to promote immorality and violence throughout the land. I pray that hidden things will be revealed, officials with malicious agendas be removed, and enemy assignments aligned against God’s purposes for America be stopped. I beseech the Lord to give local, state and national leaders great wisdom concerning crucial decisions they will be making. I will continue to pray that the scriptural foundation our nation was built upon will be reestablished. And that we will be one nation under God, where there is liberty and justice for all. I claim that as God’s people are faithful to pray for America, righteousness will exalt our nation.
Scripture: “A nation is exalted by the righteousness of its people, but sin heaps disgrace upon the land.” (Proverbs 14:34 TPT) “…the people who know their God will display strength and take action.” (Daniel 11:32b NASB)
Prayer for My State
Lord, thank You for the uniqueness, beauty, and natural resources of my state. I pray that voters will elect God-minded men and women to serve as our governor, legislators and judges. Give our public servants wisdom to establish policies that benefit all our citizens. I stand against the efforts of the enemy to turn our state into a stronghold that compromises religious, political and civil liberties. Bless and prosper our residents who work in private and public businesses, government offices, factories, educational facilities, health care services, housing, the food industry, agriculture, transportation, tourism, and law enforcement. Let there be new discoveries that provide more jobs and draw industries to our state. Father, may we experience an economic boom and see poverty eliminated. Let hate crimes be stopped before they occur. Grant us peace, prosperity, and a spiritual awakening that will cause many people to receive Your love. Thank You for these blessings, Amen.
Scripture: Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12 AMP)
