Almighty God, Sovereign of our nation, thank you for the privilege of living in a free land where I have the opportunity to vote. Work through the election process so that the people will be elected who will glorify You. Strengthen their commitment to trust You to guide them as they confront the problems and claim Your best for their realm of leadership. May they never forget that they are in office by Your choice and are accountable to You for how they lead. May the immense responsibilities they assume, and the vows they make when sworn into office, bring them to their knees with profound humility and unprecedented openness to You. Save them from the seduction of power, the addiction of popularity, and the aggrandizement of pride. Lord, keep their priorities straight: You and their families first; adherence to the Constitution second; the good of the nation third; consensus around truth fourth; party loyalties fifth; and personal success last of all. May they never forget that they have been elected to serve and not be served. Consistently replenish the reserves of strength and courage so often drained by pressure and stress. Anoint their minds with Your spirit and guide them as they seek to know and do Your will in the crucial issues before my city, region, and nation. I firmly believe that this can be Your countrys finest hour waiting leaders imbued with Your power. In Your holy name we pray!!! AMEN (From Quiet Moments with God, John Ogilvie, with some additions)
