Scriture Prayers for Our Election - Part 1

This is an important week for our nation as voters choose a president.  It is critical that Christians pray for this election.  The power of prayer can overcome any obstacle or ungodly influence and do great things for God's glory.  Here are some Scriptures to pray for this week:

II 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 heal their land."

Pray for repentance for ourselves and our nation.
Acts 17:30  Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,

Pray that Christians will be motivated to pray faithfully for this election and that the Lord would deliver us from the wrong leaders.
Psalms 32:6-7  For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah

Pray that our nation will listen to the truth and not be led astray.
Proverbs 16:13 Righteous lips are the delight of kings, And they love him who speaks what is right.

Pray that those who trust in the Lord will not be shaken.
Psalms 125
 Those who trust in the Lord
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
² As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.

³ For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.

⁴ Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,

⁵ As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways,
The Lord shall lead them away
With the workers of iniquity.
