Today’s Prayer

Sovereign Lord, as we prepare for Election Day, we remember Your words in 1 Timothy 2:1-2: “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

Father, we lift up to You all those involved in preparing for and conducting our elections. Guide election officials and poll workers as they make final preparations for Election Day. Grant them ››› continue prayer here ››› wisdom, integrity, and strength for the important tasks ahead.

Lord, we ask Your blessing upon the election process itself. Protect voting locations, guide those managing electronic systems, and watch over those handling mail-in ballots. Give clarity of purpose to all involved in administering this crucial aspect of our democracy.

We pray especially for government employees at all levels who work diligently to maintain our democratic systems. Give them energy for their tasks, wisdom in handling challenges, and dedication to serving all citizens fairly and equally.

Guide voters in making thoughtful preparations to participate. Help those still studying issues to find reliable information, and smooth the path for those making plans to reach their polling places. May the process be accessible to all eligible voters.

Father, we ask that You protect the integrity of our electoral process. May our preparations for Election Day reflect the strength of our democratic system and our shared commitment to peaceful civic participation.

Unite us in supporting these processes, remembering that fair and accessible elections serve all citizens regardless of political affiliation. Let us move forward in peace and civic responsibility.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
