Focus on the Family's "31 Days of Prayer" for our nation and our upcoming elections include, not only 31 different days of prayer but also several Bible verses and a handful of prayers by various people.

Here are three of them:

"And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of Him."

~ I John 5:14 -15 ESV

"Dear Heavenly Father,

 We come to You today as a humble people desperate for Your supernatural intervention on behalf of our beloved nation. First, we thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed on our land, blessings that have allowed us to bring so much good and benefit to not only our own citizens but also to the rest of the world.

Enable us, by Your Spirit, to no longer be secret agent Christians but rather to publicly declare and live out Your truth in a spirit of love so that You feel welcome in our country once again.

"In Jesus' name we pray. Amen."

Prayer for Wednesday.

DAY 29:  Pray for the safety of the election process.

"Heavenly Father,

I ask You today to keep Your hand of protection over our election process. Keep election workers and participants safe as they exercise their right and responsibility to vote. Keep anyone who wants to do evil at the polls from succeeding. In Jesus' name. Amen."
