“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
Dear Readers, I invite you to pray with me.
Dear God, you are our Creator, Provider, and Savior of our souls. You deserve all honor and glory because you are God Almighty and Everlasting, giver of grace and never-ending love. We can depend on your faithfulness and provision for our life here on earth as well as future life with you in heaven.
We thank you for the Church. Thank You for the Holy Spirit given freely to obedient believers. We pray the Church will stand strong and confident against the evil forces seeking to bring down your people. You promised the gates of hell would never prevail against the Church. May we, your people, claim that promise as we remain faithful to you, your Word, and your Church.
God, we are thankful for our Nation, the United States. She isn’t perfect but we know she was founded on godly principles. Thank You for our freedoms and for many who fought and died to maintain our freedoms. We are grateful for our military today that stands strong, ready to defend our Nation. Bless them and their families.
This week our Nation is exercising our freedom to vote for government leaders. We pray for wisdom as we mark our ballots. We thank you for leaders who stand up for the right to life for the unborn, who believe we should protect the elderly and the helpless, who believe in the rule of law, and who practice honesty and integrity. We pray the outcome of this election will be for the good of our country and its citizens. We ask that you hold back the forces of evil that want to destroy our families and our way of life. Help us seek truth in your Word and learn to distinguish the difference between the world’s non-truth and your truth. Jesus said He was the way, the truth, and the life. Give us courage to follow the way, the truth, and the life!
In the Name of Jesus, Who is above all names, Amen
and Amen.
