Prayer for America's Election

Heavenly Father, we come before You to ask Your forgiveness and seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe on those who call evil good,' but that's what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values. We confess that:

-We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism.

-We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.

-We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle.

-We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

-We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation.

-We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

-We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

-We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

-We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.

-We have abused power and called it political savvy.

-We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

-We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

-We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless the men and women who are elected by the people of our nation, and who are ordained by You to govern this great country. Grant them the wisdom to rule, and may their decisions direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Savior, Jesus Christ, Amen.
