Election of Godly Leaders

Pray For Our Nation has put out a booklet for our churches and country to pray during the last 40 days before Election Day.
Here is a prayer from this booklet on Electing Godly Leaders:

Father, I desire to vote intelligently in all elections. I pray that You will bring to light the things that I need to know so I may vote in line with Your plan, will and purpose.
May things not only come to light for the Christian community, but may things be made clear to the unbelieving community as well. I pray that what is right would be clear that even unbelievers would vote using wisdom and demanding honesty and uprightness from their politicians.
Dear Father, in the name of Jesus, may the citizens of our nation become so weary of sin and degradation in our nation's leaders that they will seek out godly leaders to represent them on every level of government. Give such leaders favor with the public and the media.
Father, make our nation a fragrance in the earth, a force to be reckoned with, a hand extended to those in need.

Scripture references: Luke 12:1-3, John 16:13
