Please pray …

I feel a real urgency to pray over the candidates in this election, perhaps, as never before, as I am very concerned….. about their welfare, and the welfare of our country.

On the news this morning, it stated that another attempt had been made upon Senator Obama’s life, and that over 500 such attempts had already been uncovered.

This is hatred… at its finest.

We, the people, do not need to allow this to happen, and God is the only force that can make sure it does not happen, and that can only happen, if we pray.

There is power in prayer, especially when it is unselfish prayer, asking for the welfare of another.

Our nation, does not need a bloodbath, and that is what hatred would like to do.

To incite.. the lower nature…..

We are all human beings… and it is high time, we acted like it.

We are to find healthy ways to act out our differences.

I know that there are many feelings out there, but, the only one that is worthwhile, is love, and acceptance, and forgiveness, and mercy, and grace, and kindness, and goodness, without these things..

Where are we as a nation, and as a people?

Please… join with me, in prayer for the welfare of every candidate, and for the welfare of our country.

Please…. pray that the evil, will be held in check, and not have its way.

Please …. pray for decency to prevail, and that all the hateful comments… would stop.

We are so much better than all of that……….

Dear Heavenly Father,

I lift up this country to you, asking for your hand of protection to be heavy upon it, and that you would protect every candidate that is running for office, in this election. That every one of them, would remain safe, that every plot to bring harm, to anyone, or any group of people, would be revealed, and stopped in its tracks.

I pray for unity… I pray for peace, and truth, and mercy and grace, to prevail. I pray for the welfare of every citizen in this great land, that we are all priviledged to be allowed to live in, I pray for a return to normalacy, and that the fervor that is trying to build, will stop… that the verbal attacks… would stop…… that people would treat others, as human beings… and that respect… would enter into the equasion.

I pray for our world too, that peace can come out of all the insanity that is currently taking place. I pray for the welfare of all. And that we can somehow understand, that fighting, and hatred, are evil… and we do not need to pursue evil.

I pray for an attitude of prayer to prevail, every day, from here out.

I thank you for making a way, where there might not be a way.

In Jesus Mighty Name. Amen.

Please.. join me in this prayer, post your own, and or, pray this prayer, everyday.

Please….. there is power, in prayer, and there is power in unity.

Thank you so very much.

God bless…..

Of course, Silverwings, I agree with you that prayer is effective. And as usual, your posts are so beautifully inspired and writen so lovingly. I will pray with you and invite my friends to do so as well.

Let us just pray that God’s be done… I was going to say that Soul! LOL :)

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.

Amen

Beautiful post! Thanks, Silver! I don’t vote for many different reasons, one main one being that I prefer to pray for the candidates and the election and allow God to work His Will through the people that do vote. So I can give a very hearty “Amen” to your prayer.

May God’s will be done. God bless us all!

Oh yea, I read about the latest killing spree eventually ending in Obama’s killing on news today too. I do hope and pray people stop these attempts, I mean I get it that they dont like him but they could atleast tolerate him, plus its not like any of these attempts are gonna work anyways. But still I agree with you and pray with you too.

God’s people need to go out and vote what you just said is the biggest cop out I’ve ever heard and I’m a believer also. Using God as an excuse not to vote is very wrong I would be ashamed to have posted a reply such as this. Shame on you!

Don’t get too wild there! :) I don’t even live in the USA so I wouldn’t vote in that election anyway! LOL

No where in the New Testament do we have instruction to help direct earthly governments. It always refers to governments in third person (ie. them, they, etc.). However, Jesus did advocate paying taxes and other places we are told to pray for them. I believe we also need to obey them as long as it does not conflict with God’s Word.

I understand and I appologize for being rude to you. I believe as Christians we are obligated to get out and vote and a great example is that we have a porposition on the ballot which is either for or against gay marraige in our state as believers we are banning together and telling our other Christian friends to make sure they are registered and to vote. Our church is talking about it and we had voter registration tables outside the church as well. I strongly beleive God wants us to get the word out and one of the biggest ways is to vote at an election.

My thoughts on this are:

the bible says that the people are happy, when the righteous are in control.

To me, that says that we need to be concerned very much, with who is in control. That it is our responsiblity to see what each candidate stands for, what he/she belives in, and what his voting record has been, because that is where the truth really is found, where the rubber meets the road, because his record… will speak truth. And it cannot be hidden. So, we need to know. We need to find out. And we need to share the information that we find, with others that will not take the time, or even know how to find out, what they need to know, to make an informed decision.

We have everything in order, but, to keep it running smooth, we have to see to it. I think the thing we have done too much of, is to leave it all up to someone else.

To quote a famous man, whom I can’t think of his name, right now, but, when you hear his comment, you will probably remember who he is.

All it takes for evil to prevail.. if for good men to do nothing.

And to me, that sums it up.

Someone is going to govern, and if we have a say in who does, if we do not exert our influence, we are in essence saying… I do not care.. who is in office.

But, care we will, when the laws are put into place and we have to live by them, and they violate what we stand for, and believe in, and yet, we had a chance to do something about it, but didn’t.

I believe that God will hold us accountable, for who gets into office, since we do have the right… to exert our influence.

We are light. and salt. and both are to be used. for good. and who is in office, really… really matters.. if one is going to live in this country. and have any hope at happiness…and peace, and well being. we have given up too much of our authority, already, and that is why we are in the mess we are in. If we, the salt of the earth.. had been involved…. and doing our job… we would see to it, that the government was run right. we would demand it. it is our right and our responsibility.

And it is also our responsibiltiy to pray and make sure things go smoothly… we are accountable. whether we want to be or not.

Well said I struggle sometimes as a Christian when I react to folks especially when someone says they would rather just pray then go and vote and make their voice be heard. One thing that really just grates me is when someone elects not to vote and when its a believer it just adds salt to the wound so to speak. And then quote a verse from scripture to back up their reasoning then grossly misinterpret that scripture I just have to stop count to 10 and pray. I was at diiner last night with some family and I said how utterly dismayed I was that we have degraded as a society to the point that we have to vote for the definition of marraige, that we have the right to murder innocent lives in the womb and that we reject God in the classroom in our seats of government and in general It makes you wonder why Jesus hasn’t returned already. The only hope any of us has is a live with Him forever. This world is not my home!!!
