My dear friend/mentor, Sis. June Coker, just sent me this and I think it's really important for us to pray these over this election.
Whether we pray this exact outline or not seems not to be the important thing here; what is important is that we PRAY. The scripture references, however, are wonderful.
It is critical that Christians pray for the coming elections. There is amazing power in united prayer. Please print out this prayer guide and pray daily until the election. Pray with others whenever possible. The power of prayer can overcome any obstacle or ungodly influence and, indeed, do great things!
Psalm 86:14-17 - Pray that the Lord would defeat those who have no regard for Him in this election.
2 Cor. 12:9 - Pray that the Lord would empower and enable his man in any area of weakness.
II Kings 13:16 - Pray that the Lord would put His hands on the man of His choice for president (and his team) and guide them in this election.
Proverbs 1:5-6 - Pray that God's man will listen with discernment, add to his knowledge, and receive wise counsel in this campaign.
John 16:33 - Pray that the man of God's choice would be given wisdom and ability from the Lord to overcome any obstacle or difficulty during this campaign.
Acts 17:30 - Pray for repentance for yourself and for our nation.
Luke 12:54-57 - Pray that God's man and our nation will be discerning and do what is right.
Phil. 4:13 - Pray that the Lord's choice for President will have special strength and unusual ability from God.
Habakkuk 1:5 and 3:2 - Pray that the Lord would do something that would utterly amaze us and give His servant victory.
Remember 2 Chronicles 7:14: 'If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.'
