2008 Election Weekly Scripture Prayer Guide
Day One
"When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan." Proverbs 29:2
Father God, we recognize today that you are neither a Republican nor a Democrat. We decree, Lord, that you are going to choose a leader as President of the United States who will be righteous and make the people rejoice. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Day Two
"Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face." Psalm 89:14
Father God, we cry out for the marriage of righteousness and justice in the United States of America. Lord, we ask you to choose the right president and vice-president who will understand both the needs of the poor and the rights of the unborn to live. God, we ask that you choose the leaders who will not lean towards "righteousness without justice" nor "justice without righteousness". In Jesus Name, Amen.
Day Three
"Then it shall be in that day, that I will call My servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah; I will clothe him with your robe and strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and of the house of Judah. The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open. I will fasten him as a peg in a secret place, and he will become a glorious throne to his father's house." Isaiah 22:20-22
Father God, we thank you that you are preparing leaders for the United States who will have your heart for this nation--leaders who are free from corruption and self-will, full of the spirit of wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of you, and who will lead this nation into opening the righteous and ancient gates for the land. Lord, we cry out that the United States will be city set on a hill that will be a righteous beacon of light to the nations of the earth. In Jesus Name, Amen.
Day Four
"Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm. So the governors and satraps sought to find some charge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error of fault found in him." Daniel 6:3-4
Father God we cry out to you to bring us leaders over this nation who will have an excellent spirit like Daniel. We ask that our next president and vice-president will be faithful to you, first, God, and then be found without compromise or corruption--leaders who care about your opinion more than any other. Lord, give us a Daniel for our next president! In Jesus Name, Amen.
