2 Sam. 16, 17

Last night I received a message challenging me to pray for our nation … the election in specific. I will accept the result of a fair election (where the accurate will of the people is expressed) but I am asking God to root out corruption and deception by the press and/or either political party. I am positive, based upon my own experience in running for ward committeeman c.1990 that both parties have faults. Nevertheless, I believe it is my responsibility to pray for God’s will in this election because my family will be directly affected by the direction the U.S. takes at this point. I may be gone, but those I LOVE will have to live with the civilization I leave behind.

Firstly, I want to pray with the right heart. I am not asking God for harsh judgement upon evildoers. I pray that those who are doing wrong when it affects our government will respond to God’s mercy and change their ways. Also, I pray with faith. I BELIEVE that my prayers will have an impact. I don’t want to talk about it. I want to DO IT. Just pray through Pr. 6:16-19. Pray that those guilty of these sins will repent and turn to Christ Jesus.

Please join me.
