Thank you Lord for the opportunity to live in this land and the privilege to vote. Please be with our leaders and the voters as we make our selections. May the outcome be one that is pleasing to you.
It is an honor and a privilege to come before you, God and lift our voices in unison for you will to be done here on earth. Your plan, your purpose, your candidate! In all things, both big and small, may we have surrendered hearts and minds for your way. Thank you for protecting us, leading us, and guiding us for we are a blessed people to have you in our lives. For it is in Christ Hesus that the victory is won! We praise you. IJNIP Amen.
Since all have sinned, there seems plenty of room for repentance, no matter who we are and who we may choose to elect. Forgive us all individually and as a whole nation, Lord. And heal us so we can find peace in your grace.
Most gracious Father, we humbly come before you with surrendered hearts seeking your face and asking, in the name of Jesus, for Your intervention in our country's upcoming election. Soften the hardened hearts and place in them the desire to seek You and abide in Your Holy Spirit's direction in making their decision for our nation's next leader. Let thy will done. In Your mighty Son's name, Amen.
