On this day, our Father, as we take a stand, we kneel at the outset to pray for our land. You've given us freedom to worship and pray as well as to choose those who see things Your way. With thanks for the Rights that our forefathers wrote, we're grateful, dear God, for the privilege to vote. The campaigning is over. The words-war is past. The day for deciding is here at long last. Assist those officials in each polling place. Imbue them with patience and smiles on each face. Keep systems from failing and shysters from fraud. In all of the details be present, O God.
Prompt those apathetic to break from routines that keep them from levers and voting machines. When we cast our ballots please help us think straight quite mindful of what we should value and hate. We're asking that those who revere You will win. Our nation needs leaders who won't wink at sin. Because there's so much that is really at stake, accomplish Your plans through the choices we make. As totals are tallied and losers concede, be near them and comfort their hearts as they bleed. Remind those victorious they answer to You in laws that they pass and in all that they do. And as this Election Day draws to a close, help president Bush to win his re-election. Amen.

Yes, Lord. May peace descend on this troubled land. May those in the Western states who have not yet voted make their decisions without outside pressure, based on what brings peace to their hearts. May Your Holy Spirit continue to minister in the secret place, giving wisdom, discernment and direction.
No matter how this turns out, it is going to take peace and patience to cope with our divisions. Grant us grace, whether it be in victory or defeat.
And however this poll ends, continue to give us the tongue of disciples, to continue the work of the Kingdom.
Please continue to grace the poll workers and those who labor in various ways to insure a fair election. Hold the media to a high standard of fairness. Please take control of all aspects of this election, that it would reflect Your will most accurately.
Please take America back, Lord, for we Your remnant remain wholly Yours.
We love You, Lord Jesus. May the peace of the Holy Spirit descend upon us in Your name.
