Democracy

I'm thankful that I was born and raised in this country and I'm thankful to be part of a democracy. Even though being part of this great country cost me an hour and half of leisure time this evening, I'm still glad I was able to put my two cents in and have my voice heard. Praise God for the United States of America... and God's blessing on our country's leaders as this election comes to an end.

PRAYING FOR OUR GOVERNMENT LEADERS

Heavenly Father, I give thanks for our government. (1Tim 2:1) I pray for all men and women having authority over us in any way. (1 Tim 2:2) Pour out Your Spirit upon them and make Your Word known to them. (Prov. 1:23) Cause them to be men and women of integrity, obedient concerning us, (Ps 25:21) that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, in all godliness and honesty. (1 Tim 2:2) Let wisdom enter their hearts, and let knowledge be pleasant to them. (Prov. 2:10) Let discretion preserve them and understanding keep them, (Prov. 2:11) to deliver them from the way of evil and from evil men. (Prov. 2:12) Make their hearts and ears attentive to godly counsel, (Psalm 1:1) doing what is right in your sight. (2Chr 20:32) Let the upright dwell in our government. (Prov. 2:21) Let those complete and blameless before You stay (Prov. 2:21) and cut off the wicked. Let the unfaithful be rooted out. (Prov. 2:22) Let this nation remember from where they have fallen, (Rev 2:5) repenting, and returning to doing their first works, (Rev 2:5) setting their hearts and their souls to seek the Lord, (1 Chr 22:19) humbling themselves, praying, and turning from their wicked ways. (2Chr 7:14) Then hear them, O Lord, and forgive their sins and heal our land. (2 Chr 7:14) Open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light. (Acts 26:18) Raise up a standard in this nation. (Isa 49:22) Cause the rains of Your Spirit to flood this land (Zech 10:1) and revive Your work in the midst of us. (Hab 3:2) Raise up intercessors for this nation (Isa 59:16) to pull down strongholds over this land. (2 Cor 10:4) And let the glory of the Lord be revealed! (Isa 40:5)
