As our nation prepares to elect our next President, I come to you with humility. I pray that over the course of today, you would guide us with your wisdom and direction. We know, God, that no political party holds the key to our future and that no presidential candidate is our savior. Our future, our slavation, our hope is found only in your son, Jesus Christ. I pray earnestly that this great nation returns to that truth.
As you have done so many times before, I pray that you grant America favor to illuminate your truth in the world. Lead us into our future with your hand. Use us as the example of a nation that is surrendered to your will. Instill us with the humility it takes to make a difference. As you say in your word, nations will rise and fall, but your kingdom will reign forever. Help us to fall in line with your will so that we will not fall out of favor in your eyes.
I believe in the greatness of the United States of America. I believe that you have set us apart to be an example in the world of humility before you, trust in you, and reliance upon you. And I believe that if we submit to your will, then you will honor us as we honor you.
Today, God, let us remember who it is that holds our future. Let us rely on you more than any one thing. I thank you for the blessing of living in this country. And I thank you for the grace that you have granted us these 236 years. Lord, grant us your favor once again as we return to relying on you.
In Jesus Christ's name,
Amen
