7 Biblical Prayers for the General Election

 

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

(2 Chronicles 7:14)

  1. Repentance and Mercy
  • Just and Merciful Father, we cry out to You for forgiveness over the grievous moral condition of our nation, which has deteriorated on our watch!
  • Forgive me for my role in our nation’s moral failings and for not speaking out or acting when I see evil.
  • Gracious Lord, have mercy upon my state and nation and me. Restore the wayward hearts of our leaders and guide the people of Arizona and the United States of America to turn back to You in both word and action. Lord, heal our land!
  1. Godly Leadership
  • Mighty King of kings, grant us righteous leaders— God-fearing men and women who will govern with integrity and wisdom.
  • We pray for the salvation of every governmental leader and political candidate who does not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
  1. Believers to Vote According to God’s Word
  • Holy God, inspire every Bible-believing Christian to turn out to vote with a biblical worldview.
  • May Your Church be informed about the vital issues and their biblical alignment.
  • Guide Christians to follow godly wisdom and the Holy Spirit in their voting decisions.
  • Help believers understand the impact of this election on families and religious freedoms.
  • Give pastors the courage to speak about godly values from the pulpit and encourage their congregations to vote according to biblical principles.
  1. Candidates’ Safety and Honesty
  • Heavenly Father, protect all candidates and their families, surrounding them with Your angelic hosts.
  • Reveal the true character of the candidates and their stances on the issues, so that the voters can make informed choices.
  • Oh Lord, convict the candidates to speak truthfully and act with integrity.

·      Show us Your choice of candidates in this election, and may Your favor be evident upon them.
 
  1. Sacredness of Life: Vote “No” on Prop 139
  • Lord, we ask that Prop.139 fails in the Arizona General Election—that voters recognize the truth of Psalm 139: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made…” (vs. 13-14). 
  • Open the eyes of Arizonans to the bill’s extreme positions, causing their hearts to cry out for the LIFE of every child!
  • Shine Your light upon the dangers and misrepresentations of Prop 139.
  • Expose the falsehoods of its proponents and let truth prevail.
  • May the It Goes Too Far campaign and the pro-life collective efforts lead Your Church to victory in defeating this measure.
  1. Peace During This Election Cycle.
    • Lord, grant peace throughout the election process and protect our state and nation against violence and unrest. Protect our polling places (schools, churches, and community centers).
    • Uncover any illegal votes and ensure an accurate count of all legal votes.
    • Protect poll workers and keep them honest and vigilant.
    • Heavenly Father, ensure counting machines function correctly and prevent chaos and fraud.
  1. Revival, Spiritual Awakening, and Reformation in America:
  • Oh, Lord, pour out Your presence and power upon Your Church once again. We pray for a massive harvest of souls to come into Your Kingdom through our obedience and witness of Jesus the Christ to a lost and dying world.
  • Within this harvest, bring a great awakening in the halls of government—that those who lead our nation would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We pray, also, for godly reformation in every cultural sphere: families, church, education, government, business, media, and arts and entertainment.
  • Lord of the Harvest, send us as laborers into the harvest field, and we say, ‘Lord, here am I, send me!’

In Jesus’ name, we pray, AMEN!

If you’re among the countless Christians deeply concerned about the future of Arizona and our nation, we invite you to join us in a statewide call to prayer, fasting, and repentance from Oct. 3 to Nov. 3, culminating with a united prayer gathering at the Arizona State Capitol.

Hundreds of pastors and Christian leaders are partnering, calling the Church of Arizona to unite in prayer for our nation’s moral condition and the pivotal General Election on November 5. With one voice, we will appeal to our Heavenly Father for His divine intervention regarding issues that shape the destiny of our state and nation.

Our Prayer Focus:

  • Repentance and Mercy: Crying out for God’s forgiveness and mercy regarding the moral decline in our nation, asking Him to turn us back to Him and heal our land.
  • Godly Leadership: Praying for the election of righteous, God-fearing leaders who will govern with integrity and wisdom.
  • Informed Voters: That believers will be informed and guided by biblical principles as they cast their votes.
  • Candidates’ Protection: For the safety of all candidates, and that their true positions on key issues will be revealed to voters.
  • The Sacredness of Life: Asking God to protect unborn babies and their mothers, especially in voting NO on Prop 139, an extreme abortion measure.
  • A Peaceful Election: For peace throughout the election process and protection against violence and unrest in our land.
  • Spiritual Awakening: That a wave of revival, awakening, and reformation will sweep across Arizona and the nation, drawing multitudes back to God.

The Lord’s promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14 assures us, “that if we humble ourselves, pray, and turn from our wicked ways, He will hear us from heaven and heal our land.”

 

Now is the time for Arizona Christians to come together and make an appeal to heaven, trusting that God will shift the course of our state and nation toward godly values.

  

How You Can Engage:

  • Pray alone or with a “prayer cluster”: Dedicate specific times each day, individually or with family, friends, or colleagues (two or more), to pray for the election, our leaders, and a nationwide revival.
  • Consider fasting: Whether through a Daniel fast, alternate days, or one meal a day, consider intensifying your prayers with fasting.  
  • Encourage your congregation: Pastors and church leaders, encourage your congregation to pray and fast for our nation and guide them to understand the critical issues at hand. Consider opening your church at designated times, inviting believers to gather and pray for the nation. Imagine the impact of every church doing this!
