Week I, National Elections

     These national elections are crucial for America and for the world. Powers of darkness have tried to tear out our godly roots through the halls of our governing officials. We pray that God raise up the righteous and pull down the wicked at every level of our government, but especially in the presidential election for the leader of this land. Our heart is to raise up the leader of God’s choosing that would be pleasing to Him. 1 Timothy 2 instructs us to pray first of all “for kings and all who are in authority.” Seek God’s face on behalf of our nation. Pray that He will give us a President that is of His choice rather than the choice of a manipulative media. Pray that people who boldly stand for our Judeo Christian values and the heritage of our nation’s founders will be elected to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. “Lord give us leaders such that it will be for your glory to give us the victory through them.”

Devotional: National Elections

As we approach this crucial time for our nation, let us remember the power of prayer in shaping the future of our country. Our focus this week is on seeking God’s guidance in our national elections.

Scripture

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” – 1 Timothy 2:1-2 (NIV)

Reflection

In times of political uncertainty, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or discouraged. However, as believers, we have a powerful tool at our disposal: prayer. The apostle Paul instructs us to pray for those in authority, recognizing that leadership decisions impact our ability to live godly lives.

As we pray for our nation’s elections, let’s focus on:

• Seeking God’s wisdom in choosing leaders
• Praying for candidates who uphold Judeo-Christian values
• Asking for protection against manipulation and deceit in the electoral process
• Praying for unity and peace in our nation, regardless of the outcome

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come before You as citizens of this great nation. We ask for Your guidance in these elections. Raise up leaders who fear You and will govern with wisdom and integrity. Protect our electoral process from corruption and manipulation. May Your will be done in our nation, and may the results bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
