We confess that the servants who are chosen are there with Your approval.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God…. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. (Romans 13:1,7)
Oh you whose name is the LORD, You alone are the Most High over all the earth. You are the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change, and from You proceeds every good and perfect gift.
Oh God, to us belongs open shame, because we have sinned against you. We know that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us; but you have said that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Lord, we are confident that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him. Though our sins have been like scarlet, let them be as white as snow; and though they have been red like crimson, let them be like wool; that being willing and obedient, we may eat the good of the land. You, Oh Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon You. You are a God gracious and full of compassion, longsuffering and plenteous in mercy and truth. Oh God, put the fear of you in our hearts, so that we may not turn from you. Let us continue in the fear of the LORD every day and all the day.
Father, please intercede in this election today through Your spirit. Help our people to make the choice that moves our land closer to You. Father please guide and protect our country and our people. Lord, we live in a nation that is free to elect those chosen for public office. We confess that the servants who are chosen are there with Your approval. Let us faithfully support those elected to office today, giving honor to their position. Let us help them fulfill the obligation and responsibility for our nation. With prayer and understanding, let us unite ourselves to the one purpose of living a life in which “In God We Trust.”
We praise you, for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Lord, you have assured us that whatever we ask the Father in Christ’s name, you will give it to us. In God We Trust!
We ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
