"so then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord,
continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him,
strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and

OVERFLOWING WITH THANKFULNESS..."

Pray for America

With the 24-hour news coverage of All Things Election, there is definitely a sense of anxiety about what will happen.... Bill and I feel so comforted in knowing that no matter the outcome, we serve a Sovereign God.

I read this post this morning and it captures my sentiments exactly.
Yes, you can VOTE (and I certainly hope you will), but MORE importantly, you can PRAY.

This is from the non-partisan Word of God. (Author of prayer guide not noted.)

Psalm 32:6-7 --- Pray that all will be motivated to pray faithfully for this election and that the Lord would deliver us from the wrong leaders.

Psalm 16:7-8 --- Pray that the Lord would give wise counsel and guidance to His choice for president in this campaign.

Proverbs 16:13 --- Pray that our nation will listen to the truth and not be led astray.

Psalm 18:32-36 --- Pray that the Lord would arm the man of His choice with strength; that He would guide him in battle (this election), and that He would sustain him and give him victory.

2 Thess. 1: 4---Pray that God's man could, through faith, persevere and maintain his courage throughout this election.

Psalm 125 --- Pray that those who trust in the Lord will not be shaken.

Psalm 64: 2-10 --- 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.'

God Bless America!
