Upright citizens are good for a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart. Proverbs 11:11
I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds Hebrews 10:16
Like a trampled spring and a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked. Proverbs 25:26
We will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and
blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced
when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the
truth. Ephesians 4:14
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given
him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting James 1:5-6
Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue
to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom
honor is owed. Romans 13:7
Jesus said to them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Mark 12:17
Teach us, Lord, to value our role as citizens. Awaken in the
electorate a desire to know the true principles upon which this country
was built, and draw us to Your vision for the restoration of our beloved
country.
Let us never take for granted the free land You have
given us. Please show us, Lord, how to do our part to secure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves and those to come after us.
We ask for leaders and a citizenry who truly understand our
accountability before You for every vote we cast, or do not cast. Help
us to wisely evaluate every candidate and policy against your Word. We
ask for the wisdom to vote as You would have us vote.
We ask You
to grant our citizens the wisdom to discern truth from spin and
deception. Give us radar to know when a candidate or policy is
counterfeit to the true founding principles and Constitutional roots of
this land, borne out of faith in You and Your word.
Move our
leaders and our citizens to rightly divide the responsibilities of
government vs. the responsibilities of citizens as defined by You.
God Almighty, we plead with You to guide, guard, convict and correct
all candidates, campaigns, consultants, political operatives and staff
members. We ask You to draw them to integrity before the citizens of
this country. Give them the will to honestly place their values and
visions before us, free of manipulation and deception. We ask You to
expose and defeat those who lie.
We pray, Lord, against the
voter fraud that has so crippled our confidence in the electoral
process. We ask You to expose and bring to justice those who would
undermine free and fair elections. Please help us to restore integrity
to the election process in America. Rid our system of corruption, we
pray.
O Lord, give me the wisdom and the courage to confidently
and winsomely take a stand for Your Truth with my fellow citizens. Use
my voice, Lord, to glorify JESUS, I pray.

“Now more
than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their
Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because
the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be
intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high
qualities to represent them in the national legislature...If the next
centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those
who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the
nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.” President
James Garfield – July 4, 1876
