Morning Election Prayer Bump!

"Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the skies rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation may sprout forth,
and let it cause righteousness to spring up also;
I the LORD have created it.

"Woe to him who strives with his Maker,
an earthen vessel with the potter!
Does the clay say to him who fashions it, `
'What are you making'?
or `Your work has no handles'?

Woe to him who says to a father,
`What are you begetting?'
or to a woman, `With what are you in travail?'"

Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel:
"Will you question me about my children,
or command me concerning the work of my hands?"

Isaiah 45: 8-11

O Lord,
Our enemies dance for glee, thinking they have overcome us, that on election day, those who long to reign in our light and hope, that they will begin spreading their darkness across this nation.

Be with us, and may your will be done, and kindle in the heart of each and every person who listens to you, who longs to do the right thing, the desire to cast his or her ballot in a way pleasing to you, and may your will be done.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Joshua 24:15

15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."

May it be, Merciful Father, that the Holy Spirit is wresting and contending within the hearts of those who run after false gods ... the god of convenience or the god of perverted pleasure or the god of unholy power or the god of riches. And may it be, Living Lord, that untold numbers will be awakened to the calamity that awaits if we are disobedient in our obligation as good stewards of your earthly realm. May we make haste to be obedient, even as those whose intentions are dark find insurmountable obstacles on Election Day ... prevent them, I pray, from plunging our beloved land into gridlock and chaos. Swell the ranks of those who desire to do what is right ... greatly diminish those who seek to do harm.

Grant wisdom, I pray, to all those who are charged with providing an election without fraud and error. Give them eyes to see and ears to hear and a tongue that is swift to report, that the people might exercise their freedom without interference. Let nothing cause our absentee and military ballots to go astray, but may every one be counted.

It is to You, O Lord, that we look, for You are the Creator of government. May those who will be charged with authority reflect Your will and Your way, that we might continue in Your favor. We are not worthy, but worthy are You, O Lord, and great is Your love. Guide us and guard us, in the Name of our Lord and Savior we pray, Amen ...
