A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight. – Prov. 11:1
To show partiality to the wicked is not good, nor to thrust aside the righteous in judgment. – Prov. 18:5
To show partiality in judgment is not good. He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous,'' Peoples will curse him, nations will abhor him. -- Prov. 24:23(b)-24
Woe to those who enact evil statutes, and to those who constantly record unjust decisions… -- Isa. 10:1
Father, on behalf justice, on behalf of the unborn, on behalf of decency, on behalf of the rule of law, we pray that You will install a majority in the Senate who will confirm judicial nominees who respect the Constitution, respect life, and who in humble service interpret the law, rather than make law from the bench. Amen.
Thank you for your prayers and verses.
...continuing in prayer...
I agree, and add my amen to your prayer.
Lord, as the polls open today in yet another important election, I pray that people will recall the many examples given in the Bible about the benefits of giving You reverence and trusting completely, only in You and none other.
Lord, I confess my own failure to better appreciate this Nation called The United States of America and my own sins. I confess that I am forgiven of these and You will use even my failings to glorify Yourself and to prove that 'all things work together for good to them that love You and are called according to Your purpose.'
Thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being born here in America. Lord, let others see what has been accomplished in "One Nation, Under God" and go out and do likewise elsewhere. Let them not be filled with covetousness and envy but rather a healthy sense of purpose and encouragement and 'co-opetition' whereby we could live nation with nation, side by side, without unrest.
Lord, let there be many eyes, ears and hearts opened to the lies told about 'racism' which lies deny You and devalues the entire human race. Lord, let many know that there is ONE race--the human race, created by You and that the paint job doesn't matter, what matters is what's in the character and what we do with what we have. Let every human realize he or she is 'fearfully and wonderfully made' in Your image.
Lord, in Proverbs we are told an untrustworthy messenger is like trying to run on a broken foot. Let people not be deceived, nor support untrustworthy messengers masquerading as news media--and let us discern well who among them are trustworthy, for indeed some are worthy of our trust. Let us not permit those who scorn this Nation's own 'huddled masses,' her People who huddle at newsstands craving truth to be made merchandise of.
Let this People look with wise eyes and see the graffiti, the robberies, the thefts and the other crimes and know that some speak of punishing crime but seek to reward it. Let this People discern, and let us remove from power those unfaithful persons.
Let us return to the Ten Commandments.
Let us return to absolute truth and not reward those who lie and cheat and steal.
Be swift, Lord to judge and punish evildoers that escape human justice--but meanwhile let us be faithful to fearlessly and tirelessly strive to protect the innocent and the weak from oppressors. "Vengeance is Mine, saith the LORD.'
Be swift my soul to answer Him, be jubilant my feet,
Our God is marching on!
In Jesus' Name, amen

Amen, SA.
"O God my Strength! I will Sing Your Praise, for You are my Place of Safety. My God is Changeless in His Love for me, and He will Come and Help me. He will Let me See my Wish Come True Upon my Enemies." (Ps.59:9,10)
Thwart the Enemies of Righteousness, O God, and Sweep them from Office with a Mighty Hand. Replace them with those who will Stand for Goodness and Life. We Rest in our Shepherd-King, in His Love, and Glorify our God of Saving Grace. In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Help us this Day, amen.
Midday election prayer bump!
The wicked and God's Justice:
In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor;
let them be caught in the schemes which they have devised.
For the wicked boasts of the desires of his heart,
and the man greedy for gain curses and renounces the LORD.
In the pride of his countenance the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, "There is no God."
His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
He sits in ambush in the villages;
in hiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the hapless.
The hapless is crushed, sinks down, and falls by his might.
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thy hand;
forget not the afflicted.
Why does the wicked renounce God,
and say in his heart, "Thou wilt not call to account"?
Thou dost see;
yea, thou dost note trouble and vexation,
that thou mayest take it into thy hands;
the hapless commits himself to thee;
thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.
Break thou the arm of the wicked and evildoer;
seek out his wickedness till thou find none.
The LORD is king for ever and ever.
O LORD, thou wilt hear the desire of the meek;
thou wilt strengthen their heart,
thou wilt incline thy ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed,
so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
(from Psalm 10)
Today, O lord, be with our nation, that righteousness may break forth and we may stand upright as a light to the nations, bringing your will into fruition.
Be with those who stand up against the unborn and those unable to defend themselves, protect us from those who wish to make our nation behave in ways that are against your will, who long to drag us into the darkness and make us vunerable to those who hate us.
May your will be done, this day and always.
In the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior I ask this, Amen.
"Thy Will Be Done" prayer bump
Heart felt and fervent prayer in His All-Knowing Will
Joshua 1:9
9Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
I want you to know that I already voted for him, or rather against DF. I'm glad to know that he is a Christian. I am sorry that coverage of his campaign in our area (Democratic) has been minimal. God bless him.
It's too bad, many in California are too busy chasing "the dream" to realize we are on a Democratic treadmill.
"" Continuing in prayer throughout the day for Mike Steele, Rick Santorum, George Allen, and all Republicans running for the Senate today""
I'd like to add Kyle to your list and also Chaffy (sp). Kyle shouldn't be having problems, but it seems he is. ;( According to Rush, Chaffy is speaking out against Bill Clinton for showing up in Rhode Island yesterday to support the Rat. Rush was impressed with Chaffy's boldness, when he spoke out against Clinton. ;)
Allen and Santorum are both good guys and shouldn't have to be fighting against the darkside. Lord please help these men who love you, to win.
EZEKIEL 22:30 And I sought for a man amoung them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I would not destroy it; but I found none.
Lord look upon us as those gap standers, who are seeking you and your will for this election. We want to make up that hedge, for the protection of our land, from those who seek to destroy it.
BTTT
We thank you Father for hearing our prayer. Let it be so, in Jesus name, Amen.
Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves therein.
Psalm 69: 32-34
Thank you Lord, for showing us the light. Help us this day during the election to chose wisely, and help us always to trust in you.
Amen.
Thank you for the ping Lyman. I already voted and am praying for good results!
Father God who loves me, I worship Your holy name. I come to You as your child, and I implore You. Smile upon this nation. Forgive us our sins. Hear our prayers, Lord. We do not deserve Your favor, yet we cling to Your promise. I feel helpless yet bathed in Your mercy. My heart literally begs in prayer. Humbly, I submit. I know You delight in our faith and in our prayers. Alleluia Lord, hear our prayers. Alleluia Lord, King of Kings, Almight God and Father, ruler of Heaven and Earth.
You have power over all evil. Hear our prayers and move Your divine hand over this land. Let it be so, Father, in Jesus name. We thank you Father~! Amen.

My Soul Waits
November 7, 2006
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the LORD
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is great power to redeem.
- Psalm 130:5-7 (NRSV)
Agreeing with your prayer, and thanking Our Father that we live in a nation with a long tradition and history of freedom. Father God, let not that freedom be abused. Cleanse our land, Father God, of corruption and malfeasance. Make all who are capable of hearing your truth get out to vote today.
In Jesus' name,
Amen!
Thank you! We all need that prayer and especially our country in these perilous times. May God watch over & protect us from evil men & women (of the DemocRAT Peoples Party) who wish to do harm to our country, the USA, and to hurt & harm Christians as well.
Amen!
