Afternoon election prayer bump!
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan. Proverbs 29:2
"The Spirit of the LORD speaks by me,
his word is upon my tongue.
The God of Israel has spoken,
the Rock of Israel has said to me:
When one rules justly over men,
ruling in the fear of God,
he dawns on them like the morning light,
like the sun shining forth upon a cloudless morning,
like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.
But godless men are all like thorns that are thrown away; for they cannot be taken with the hand;
but the man who touches them arms himself
with iron and the shaft of a spear,
and they are utterly consumed with fire."
ii Samuel 23: 2-4,6-7
Lord, we praise your name for showing us what is good and what is evil. Help us to choose the good on Election Day, that all over the nation men and women with good heart and intent will choose the light over the dark, the righteous over the evil, and the true over the false.
Guide our hands, our feet and our hearts.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Amen. Knitting A Conundrum.
Thank you so much for these prayers.
