Pray for our nation's leaders.

Father God,

As Daniel said, “Let God's name be blessed for all time, because he has all wisdom and power. He oversees the centuries; he puts kings in place and gives them power, and he removes them and takes away their power. He gives knowledge to those who revere him.” Daniel 2:21-22 – SPS.

Lord, my trust is not in any human to lead this country, but only in you. For our current president, make him productive and responsive to your direction, even if he doesn't know you. I trust in you to bring about circumstances that will limit or increase his impact, in order to benefit your people.
Proverbs 21:1 -SPS “The king's heart flows like a stream, but the LORD builds the channel to direct it where ever he wants.

Lord God, those who are running for office, protect them. Give each physical endurance for the process. Set a watch over their families' and protect the love they share during this difficult journey. Somehow, through this process, reach them, teach them personal lessons. Reveal your heart to each one.

Soften the hearts of each candidate, but strengthen the resolve each holds in regard to their principles that make them want to be elected. Use the electoral process to reveal the leadership you desire for this time. 

Use this new leader to convict your people to pray and seek you, and desire your will again for this country. Convict me to pray consistently for each of them, instead of joining in with criticism. Use our elected officials as you servants, to do your bidding.

Lord, you hold all power. We give yo all glory, forever and ever. Amen.
