Praying for Our Leaders

As we begin our 14-day prayer journey toward Election Day 2024, we dedicate our first three days to praying for those in leadership - both current and aspiring. These crucial days lay the foundation for our focused prayer initiative, recognizing the vital role that character, communication, and personal well-being play in effective leadership.

Leadership shapes every aspect of our democratic process. Whether we're considering candidates running for their first term, incumbents seeking re-election, or officials continuing their current service, these individuals need our prayer support. Their decisions, character, and well-being directly impact our communities and nation.

We begin by praying for the foundational qualities of effective leadership. Wisdom guides decision-making, while integrity ensures those decisions serve the common good. Drawing from James 1:5 and Proverbs 10:9, we'll pray for leaders who seek God's wisdom and walk in unwavering integrity.

Behind every public servant is a person and a family making sacrifices. Guided by Matthew 11:28 and 1 Timothy 5:8, we'll pray for the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of our leaders and their families.

While this three-day focus provides a strong foundation for praying for our leaders, those seeking deeper exploration can visit our 30-day challenge, which expands on each of these themes in greater detail.

As we begin these three days of focused prayer for our leaders, we invite you to join us in seeking God's blessing and guidance for those who serve our nation. Together, we can lift up our leaders and contribute to the strengthening of our democracy through prayer.
