are you concerned for the future of the USA?

PRAY!

I hear... and I have said much about the future of the USA. I don't know about you... although if you are not concerned it seems to me that you would be part of a small group. This morning I am impressed with how important it is that we do this. We must pray. A good friend forwarded this to me. I share it with you as a possible starting point. Whether you pray these suggestions or others - please join me in praying for our country.

Prayer Guide for the Presidential Election James Balcom

It is critical that Christians pray for the upcoming presidential election.

There is amazing power in united prayer. Please print out this prayer guide and pray daily until the election. Pray with others whenever possible. The power of prayer can
overcome any obstacle or ungodly influences and, indeed, do great things! Please forward this to every Christian you know.........START TODAY

Psalm 32:6-7 - Pray that Christians 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 86:14-17 - 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/woman in any area of weakness.

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.

During the days of November 1st-4th, be encouraged to set aside a time of fasting during these days to commit this election to the Lord in whom we put our trust. Acts 14:23

Remember 2Chronicles 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.'

Ray,
Excellent stuff, excellent timing. I tend to stress during the election season. I'm not in favor of Christians remain passive when they feel so passionate about the issues but, I always need to be reminded "God is still on his throne." Thanks for our prayer guide & the reminder!
