…the following are a few thoughts, in a prayer and conversation with God regarding the importance of voting for those candidates who align more closely with Biblical values…His values…

We come boldly to God’s throne of grace as we’re praying for the 2024 Elections.

We’re ever dependent upon Your guidance, Lord.  We need Your selections.

Since the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, wise candidates will look to You.

They honor You and Your Word, which is Your directive on all that’s good and true.

The wisest candidates have a greater reverence for the helpless child in the womb

and are a voice for the voiceless, whom You’ve designed to be born–to live and bloom.

Though immigrants can be welcomed, there’s a legal way for them to proceed…

Our border shouldn’t be a place of lawlessness with cartels ruling by their greed.

Some who’ve entered illegally have killed Americans–precious ones whose lives were lost,

whose names should not be forgotten.  They represent what mass immigration has cost.

And then there are the children lost to human trafficking, and those who’ve also perished

from drugs pouring in through an open border, because law and order is not being cherished.

And we can’t forget the Afghanistan withdrawal, where people were left behind and alone,

not to mention billions of dollars of our advanced military equipment for the Taliban to then own.

Thirteen brave young U.S. soldiers lost their lives due to poor leadership regarding that event.

Certainly their families back home were sorry that their loved ones were the ones to have been sent.

Many other policies have been promoted, which have been questionable, even unbiblical, so we pray…

that You’ll influence the hearts of enough Americans to hear what You have to say.

And why should Americans have their tax dollars be barely available for victims of storms…

because they’ve been given freely to noncitizens, in the name of some kind of new “reforms”?

America has always been a place of opportunity where effort and hard work are rewarded…

It shouldn’t have such high inflation and taxes that necessities of life can hardly be afforded.

One of the Presidential candidates today governed previously, as President, in a wise way…

To create fear about him governing again, his opposers have had untrue and malicious things to say.

So, God, we know You love America, which has sent out many missionaries in Your name…

We’re trusting You to rescue this land of freedom and opportunity…before it would never be the same.

P. A. Oltrogge

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10

“He has sent redemption to His people;
He has commanded His covenant forever:
Holy and awesome is His name.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.” Psalm 119:9-10

“Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.  And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us…”  Acts 17:35-27

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.” Psalm 127:3

“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” Psalm 139:13-16

While we may differ regarding the qualifications of candidates, we know that the winners, Presidential on down, will need our prayers and divine guidance from the Lord…
