Today, as the day before Election Day in the United States, I thought we could put into practice what we have been talking about last week. Pray with me!
Dear Lord, I thank You that You have called me to pray. I answer the call and join the great army of people who are praying for our nation. I thank You that all things are possible when we pray, and that You are waiting for us to ask, so that You can answer. We pray right now our city, our state and our nation. We declare that You are Lord over these places, and that Your plan will prevail in our cities, our states, and our nation. We come against the enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy, and we believe his work is brought to naught, and that his schemes, plans and strategies will fail. Drive back the works of darkness, and deliver us from evil. We stand in the gap for our country. We intercede on behalf of our nation, and we repent for the sins of its people. We come before you humbly and ask that you would heal our land. We appeal for your mercy, and know that you are a God who shows mercy, even when we don’t deserve it. We ask that the blinders would be removed from the eyes of the lost of our nation, so that they can see the light of the glorious gospel, and repent and return to you, Father so they can know truth from deception. We pray that justice, truth and righteousness would prevail in our elections. We pray for righteous rulers to be placed in office, and for all evil and unrighteous rulers to be removed, so that our nation can experience freedom to spread the truth of the gospel. We ask your protection on our military and pray especially for those who are in active service at this time. We pray that evil men would be captured and that in the process, no harm would come to the men and women who serve our nation and the allied forces. We ask you Lord, that by Your Spirit, You would move people who are complacent to a position of action. We pray that the people of God would realize that the election process is not just a privilege, but also a duty of God fearing citizens. We also pray that we would get a revelation of the importance that each person makes – one prayer and one vote really do matter. We ask Lord, that America would be a light to the world, and that You God, would shine Your light through us, so that Your kingdom can be established, on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus Name, AMEN!
