SCRIPTURES
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all [the universe]. Psalm 103:19 AMP
Every day I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall commend your works to another, and shall declare your mighty acts. Psalm 145:2-4 ESV
First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who wishes all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 AMP
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ – Our Lord, Savior and Redeemer. You are good and Your mercy endures forever. The scriptures reveal that You rule over every nation. In fact, You rule over the entire universe.
We humbly pray regarding the upcoming elections. We pray for those currently in authority and for those who are seeking to be elected in the upcoming elections for our locality/area (nation/state/district/province/city/township, etc.)
- Help every voter to accurately hear, listen, and obey Your divine guidance and direction.
- Help every voter to act according to what is good, right and just in Your sight.
- Reveal truth to voters and help them act on truth. Expose all lies and deception.
- Insure that the election results accurately reflect all of the votes in a timely, honest manner.
- Protect our election process from violence, intimidation, sabotage and fraud.
Thank you for placing elected leaders into positions of authority – those who will act according to Your divine plan. All this we pray in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
