Sovereign Lord, as we approach Election Day, we seek Your guidance for both protecting and accessing our democratic process. Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 11:3, “The integrity of the upright guides them,” and in Isaiah 1:17, “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.”

Father, we pray for the integrity of our voting systems. Guard against ››› continue prayer here ››› any attempts to compromise our electoral process. Grant wisdom to election officials and workers as they oversee this crucial aspect of our democracy. Help them maintain both security and transparency in their important work.

We also pray for accessibility to voting for all eligible citizens. Remove barriers that might prevent legitimate participation in our democratic process. Guide officials in creating clear processes that maintain both security and reasonable access. Help address challenges faced by elderly, disabled, or remote voters while preserving electoral integrity.

Guide the hands and hearts of those processing ballots and operating voting systems. Grant them attention to detail and unwavering commitment to fairness.

Protect our democratic institutions and processes. Give us confidence in our electoral system while maintaining vigilance against any threats to its integrity. Help us balance security measures with ensuring all eligible voices can be heard.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
