Our elections are going to be finalized on this coming Tuesday. While our attention is focused so much on our presidential election, there are many more elections affecting our lives.

A couple more prayers taken from a "30 Day Prayer Guide for Our Nation and Elections" put out by Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

DAY 22

"Loneliness has become epidemic around the globe and in our nation. Suicide rates are also rising. As many silently struggle on their own---including the sick and elderly---ask God to comfort the hurting, to move Christians to care for forgotten neighbors, and to give hope where there doesn't seem to be any. Pray that elected officials will be sensitive to this growing concern affecting our nation and that God's people will reach out to the the lonely with the hope of the Gospel."

"The Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

~ JOSHUA 1:9

*
DAY 23

"School board members across our country are directly responsible for choosing curriculum that will educate and influence children, teens, and young people. Pray that the Lord will call believers to run for their local school board and ask Him to guide these men and women as they impact the next generation."

" I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I  will counsel you with my eye upon you."

~ PSALM 32:8

*
DAY 28

"Pray for men and women in our military, that the Lord would draw many of them to Himself and protect them as they defend our nation. Pray that leaders in our federal government will protect the religious freedom of Christians in our armed forces."

"In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you."

~ 1 PETER 3:15

*
DAY 29

"God's Word encourages Christians to stay aware of the needs of those around them.. Take time to consider the specific issues facing your neighborhood, community, and church. Pray that our elected leaders will have hearts of compassion and take action as needed to protect the 'least of these'."

"Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you....and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."

~ JEREMIAH 29:7
