Tensions are high, and all eyes are on the November elections. What will the results mean for our nation? It is a critical time in history for both America and our world.
While leaders determine a nation’s course, God is sovereign and can be trusted. Let’s humbly seek His Presence and His intervention on behalf of America. In a posture of unity, let’s agree that He is the only one who can turn the tide in our nation.
Our battle is not against flesh and blood but principalities, powers, and spiritual wickedness in high places, and the battle belongs to the Lord. He has permitted us to come boldly to His throne for mercy and grace in our time of need; this is a time of great need. Intercessors must lift our voices with one heart and mind and stand in the gap for America.
Day 10: Pray for Those Voting
Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget, and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. (Proverbs 4:5-6 LSB)
The younger generations, like Gen Z and Millennials, are voicing their opinions through voting. Gen Z was said to have held back a red wave on the last midterms. While the younger generations are showing up, Christians aren’t. According to My Faith Votes, 25 million Christians who are registered to vote are not expected to vote in the presidential elections. In another survey, 65 million do not participate in local elections, and 15 million are not registered to vote. The numbers are astounding! To be silent and not vote is a vote. You can pray for Christians who are not regularly voting by name! Go to Pray the Vote 2024! Lord, we repent for indifference, for doing nothing and then complaining about what we don’t like in our cities and nation. Elections are changed by the elect. Lord, let your Church exercise her voice through her vote. Pray for wisdom for first-time voters.
- Pray for believers everywhere to understand the times (see 1 Chronicles 12:32), register to vote, and go out to vote in massive numbers as never before. Faith is good, but faith and action are better (see James 2:17-18). Convict the 25 million non-voting Christians of their irresponsibility, complacency, and the need to vote for their biblical values as Jesus’s followers.
- Pray against invalid and illegal votes, compromised tabulation machinery, and every attempt to cheat. Pray that this election will be the most honest, uncorrupted one in history (see Luke 8:17; Psalm 55:9-11 NLT).
