A Prayer For Election Day

The Bible says that there is no authority but of God (Romans 13:1). Therefore, we need to pray that God not give us a President that we deserve, but in His mercy, one that will be good for America.

Lord, please give us strength to deal with whatever comes, and to live righteously in Your eyes. I pray that your Spirit will be upon our nation and the people of this nation, and that they vote for the principles of liberty, of moral conscience. 

I pray for a healing of our land.  Unite us.  Strengthen us.

Amen

Vote like your future depends upon it because it does.

Clinging To My Bible And My Prayers On Election Eve

Vote wisely November 6th! I am not telling you which party or which candidates to vote for or against. What I am saying is that you need to think and pray very carefully about your vote.

Christians seem to act as if they thought God did not see what they do in politics. He does see it, and He will bless or curse this nation, according to the course they take.

The Bible tells us that "He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of GOD. A ruler is accountable to GOD for what he does. A ruler leads and rules under the eye of the all-seeing GOD of heaven.

The individuals who hold the presidency and Senate and Congressional seats will make decisions that impact the rest of the world. Whether those decisions help or harm the people of the world is largely determined by the choices that Americans make at the polls tomorrow. We need to pray that our choices will serve to bless the world.

The Bible commands us to pray for those who are in leadership. That's why I pray for both candidates every night. I pray that the next person to occupy the office of President will bring to this position wisdom and effectiveness. I also pray that once that person is elected he will seek GOD's counsel in everything.

Pray for American voters to recognize the profound, lasting implication of major elections. Pray for voters to have the wisdom to see through political rhetoric and clearly understand truth. Pray for evil to be exposed and integrity to be revealed. Pray that all voters will hear and follow God’s guidance, not political parties or human reasoning.

Above all else pray that the results of the 2012 elections will please the Lord and release His blessing over this nation.

 

Public Service Announcement - Vote November 6th

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. "
Samuel Adams, The Writings of Samuel Adams, Harry Alonzo Cushing, editor (New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1907), Vol. IV, p. 256.

"In selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate--look to his character. "

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.  Make sure you VOTE November 6th

Biden's A Gaffe Machine

Was it a gaffe or was he being brutally honest? If I remember correctly, during the debate when Paul Ryan made the dig on him for mis-statements he chimed in and said that he always said what he meant… so I say take him at his word… he meant it.

 I don't blame you one bit Joe! Hang in there, only a few more days left! 

You've got to love Joe though he's a modest man, who has much to be modest about.
