Suggested Prayers:
Teach us, Lord, to value our role as citizens. Awaken in the
electorate a desire to know the true principles upon which this country
was built, and draw us to Your vision for the restoration of our beloved
country.
We ask for leaders and a citizenry who truly understand our accountability before You as the ultimate and sovereign Authority. As our citizens go through the process of deciding how to vote, we ask Lord, that You guide our thoughts with Your desires for our nation.
We ask You to grant our citizens the wisdom to discern truth from deception.
God Almighty, we plead with you to guide, guard, convict and correct all candidates, campaigns, consultants, political operatives and staff members. We ask You to draw them to integrity before the voters of this country. Give them the will to honestly place their values and visions before the voters, free of manipulation and deception. We ask You to expose and defeat those who lie.
We pray, Lord, against the voter fraud that has so crippled our confidence in the electoral process. We ask You to expose and bring to justice those who would undermine free and fair elections. Rid our system of corruption, we pray.
O Lord, give me the wisdom and the courage to confidently and winsomely take a stand for Your Truth with my fellow citizens. Use my voice, Lord, I pray.
In the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.
