…in this year of 2024…
Father, preserve our country of America–we look to you for your hand of protection. We pray that its leaders will heed your Word, instead of dishonoring it with their rejection.
“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” We pray for those in or running for office, who promise good, but may be speaking lies under their breath.
Convict them when they don’t really care about those whom they’re supposed to be serving. Dissuade the citizens from casting their votes for those who are undeserving.
Give us, Father, the wise leadership that we have prayed for and so very much need. Remove, and keep from office, those who are motivated only by their own ambitions and greed.
We pray against cheating and fraud in the upcoming election–and that the people will carefully study the records of the candidates before making any selection.
We pray there will be a turning away from supporting those who align with the darkness of abortion. When we stand for the innocent, then goodness and mercy in life will be our portion.
You’ve said, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.” To have representatives who oppose you and your Word is something we have never been able to afford.
So, the citizens themselves need to seek you and your will in order for America to remain good. We plead the blood of Jesus over this land, in order to have the righteous leaders that we should.
…in Jesus’ name, Amen
There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death. Proverbs 16:25
These six things the Lord hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren. Proverbs 6:16-19
The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. Proverbs 33:11-12
Wondrously show Your (marvelous and amazing) lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand from those who rise up against them. Keep me (in Your affectionate care, protect me) as the apple of Your eye; Hide me in the (protective) shadow of Your wings. Psalm 17:7-8 AMP
(Protect your people everywhere, Lord, in these times. We lift up those in war-torn areas and those in any country where persecution or injustice exists for their faith in you–be to them their shield. And may many who don’t yet believe, come to saving faith in you… Thank you that you hear and answer our prayers…)

Remind us, Lord, to:
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah Psalm 46:10-11
