Pray!!! ... Election Day 2006 is fast approaching, and there is much at stake. In many ways, the future of our nation hangs in the balance. We encourage all concerned Christians to devote themselves to focused prayer for the election and for our nation.
Pray for the Upcoming Election
Pray that God's people would feel the need to engage the culture and
be involved in government just as Jesus taught (Matt. 5:13-16).
Pray that Christians in America will register to vote for the 2006
Election (Matt. 22:21).
Pray that God would help all Americans realize that where the candidates
stand on key issues is far more important than the party he or she belongs
to.
Pray that Americans of faith would learn the truth about every candidate's
position on important issues.
Pray that God would make the choice between candidates clear as voters
weigh candidates and their positions with biblical values (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Pray that Americans of faith will vote their values instead of their
political party (2 Chronicles 19:2).
Pray that the Lord would protect the election process both nationally
and locally from dishonesty and fraud (Proverbs 20:23).
Pray that God would give us godly men and women as leaders who fear
the Lord and honor Him (Proverbs 29:2).
Pray that God would give us leaders who value America as a beacon of
hope and freedom for the entire world. (Proverbs 8:15-16).
Finally, pray that God will bless your efforts to engage our culture
and claim it for Christ, beginning with your vote. Remember, only you
can elect your future!
