Day 15 to pray for elections, 25 to go

praying7May Your love flow through and around us.

“And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;  That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ”, Philippians 1:9-10.

O’ Dear Lord in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  You are the mighty King.  You are the master of everything.  We praise you God almighty!  We love you dear Lord.

Father, forgive us.  We have lost our way.  We have strayed from your loving arms.  Bring us back to you.  Father, we bow our heads before You and we confess that we have too often forgotten that we are Yours.  We have carried on our lives as if there was no God or some other god and we fall short of being a credible witness for You.  For these things we ask your forgiveness and we also ask for your strength.

We thank you Lord for Your everlasting love which you show regardless of our infirmities. We thank you for your blessings.

Lord today we pray for our fellow man. Father please help us all to be of strong and clear mind as we approach the election decisions.  Please help our people to recognize the right choice for our entire nation and not choose based on selfish and self-centered desires.  Allow us to see that the enemy lies just beneath the shine and polish.  We pray our people will not vote based on who looks the part, who has the most show or who is the most camera friendly.  Help us to grasp, dear Lord, that looks can be deceiving. Help our people to seek the answers dear Lord and work to understand who they are voting for. Help them to know the person and to know your desire.  Help the sheep to not go astray, O’ Great Shepherd.  Father, we all need your help in this important issue.

Lord, help us to draw on your love.  May Your love flow through and around us.  Give us clear minds and open hearts so we may witness to You in our world.  Remind us to be who You would have us to be regardless of what we are doing or who we are with. Hold us to You and build our relationship with You and with those You have given us.  Speak to our hearts and open our minds that we may see You and the light of Your glory.  Send your Holy Spirit, Father.  Cleanse us, O’Lord, that we may stand before You without blemish.  Help us as a nation to be a discerning people with moral voices to bring glory and honor to You, O’God.

We ask all these things through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
