Election Prayer Assortment

Prayer Before An Election Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community. We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty. We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned, men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender. We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word, live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace. We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. A Prayer for our Nation's Election O God, we acknowledge You today as Lord, not only of individuals, but of nations and governments. We thank You for the privilege of being able to organize ourselves politically and of knowing that political loyalty does not have to mean disloyalty to You. We thank You for Your law, which our Founding Fathers acknowledged and recognized as higher than any human law. We thank You for the opportunity that this election year puts before us, to exercise our solemn duty not only to vote, but to influence countless others to vote, and to vote correctly. Lord, we pray that Your people may be awakened. Let them realize that while politics is not their salvation, their response to You requires that they be politically active. Awaken Your people to know that they are not called to be a sect fleeing the world but rather a community of faith renewing the world. Awaken them that the same hands lifted up to You in prayer are the hands that pull the lever in the voting booth; that the same eyes that read Your Word are the eyes that read the names on the ballot, and that they do not cease to be Christians when they enter the voting booth. Awaken Your people to a commitment to justice, to the sanctity of marriage and the family, to the dignity of each individual human life, and to the truth that human rights begin when Human Lives begin, and not one moment later. Lord, we rejoice today that we are citizens of Your kingdom. May that make us all the more committed to being faithful citizens on earth. We ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Election Prayer Almighty God, Lord of Life and King of all Nations, we beg you to look Kindly upon our country and help us to wisely choose our new leaders. Inform our consciences and enlighten our judgment, that we may elect those who will mercifully uphold our justice and strive to protect the least among us. May our nation once again respect religious freedom, authentic marriage, the importance of family and the value of every human life - from conception to natural birth. Heal the divisions which wound our unity and help us to overlook political tensions that keep us from becoming a united force for good. May our great land, built on both personal responsibility and charity towards the less fortunate, always balance prosperity with care for the elderly, the poor, the sick and the abandoned. May we elect honest and trustworthy candidates who will uphold the common good and protect our God-given rights. In concert with the great founders of our nation, may we confidently proclaim, "In God we trust".  Amen

Thankfulness

God gives us so many gifts each day, The wonder of some gets lost along the way. All the beauty of the earth and sky, Is taken for granted as our lives fly by. Blessings uncounted are usually the best. We sometime thank for some and forget the rest. We sometime thank for our family and health, We sometime thank for our worldly wealth. Today thank God for this beautiful earth. Today thank God for the miracle of birth. Today thank God for hearing and seeing, Today thank God for loving and feeling. If God chooses to take one blessing from you, You'll find He always replaces it with one that's new. When you think, you have lost it all, Remember on whose name you can call. Jesus Christ died so that we may live. That's the biggest blessing He could give. When you think all of your blessings are ending, Greater love, mercy, and forgiveness He is sending. Being thankful is such an easy thing to do. Being thankful is easy when you think of what He did for you. Today slow down, look around, and look above, Today look up and remember His undying love.   by Judy Parker 2003

Anybody's Child ~*~ A Thanksgiving Prayer

This is a true story. When this child grew up, she wanted to help others. She has helped me more than she could ever know. This thanksgiving I pray that no child should fall through the cracks. They could be anybody's child, remember them this Thanksgiving Day.   ~*~ A Thanksgiving Prayer ~ Anybody's Child ~*~ There is a little child I know That had no where to go The only friend she had Was in a Teddy bear she owned She could be anybody's child With very little food, And no safe place to sleep She did the best that she could do   When she was placed in a home There was no love to go around Every secret that she knew Her teddy shared without a sound   A thanksgiving prayer I say For this tender child out there Looking for a home somewhere She could be anybody's child, lost and all alone With only the teddy bear she owns Let me pray this Thanksgiving Day That The Lord will give her love From somewhere up above May angels come close and open a door So a child who never sang Will sing forevermore.   Linda Ann Henry © 2007 Do you remember me The people's poet   Source: SpiritIsUp [Archived]
