My Prayer For This Election

Holy God and Loving Father,

I thank you on behalf of your people that we have a voice in our community. And I pray that you would magnify that voice in these elections for your righteousness and glory.

I pray first for wisdom. Help us to discern through the rhetoric of politicians who claim you are on their side, and give us leaders, Lord, who seek only to be on your side.

For our current leaders, especially in this city, but in our state and nation as well, I pray for your will to be done in their lives. I pray that, win or lose, they will be thankful and reminded of your grace.

And I pray for your people, Father, that we would be agents of your grace in either victory or defeat. Use us, Lord, to heal this land and bring revival to our nation.

I pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
