Praying for Our Nation October 17, 2012

Pray for a mighty move of the Spirit in tonight’s intercessory prayer service at Radiant.

Pray for the engagement and godly participation of believers in the election process:
• Pray that a strong burden of prayer will come upon God’s people as the elections near.
• Pray for solidarity among believers regarding moral and biblical issues.
• Pray that believers will be given the faith to believe that their voices and their votes will make a
difference in the country.
• Pray for boldness for believers to stand up -- and speak up -- in defense of godly values.
• Pray that believers will lay down their own desires and take up the desires of God. Ask that the
Lord’s purposes be accomplished in the U.S. elections.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matt. 6:10)
• Pray that all believers will do their civic and spiritual duty by seriously seeking God and turning out to vote in miraculous numbers.
Pray against discouragement, distractions and deception among believers:
• Come against the spirit of discouragement that is causing many believers to feel that the future of our country is hopeless and that neither their prayers nor their votes can make a difference.
• Come against the forces that are keeping many believers from being interested, informed or engaged in the election process – including the distractions of the world and the spirit of stupor.
• Come against the spirit of deception which causes some believers to embrace ungodly candidates and causes.
