PRAY WITH ME:
Father, You formed our nation. When the Framers were trying to write America’s Constitution and hit what seemed like an impassable stalemate, You used 81-year-old delegate Benjamin Franklin to get things back on track. Referencing Scripture, he stated, “God governs in the affairs of men” (from Daniel 4:17); “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without [H]is aid?” (from Matthew 10:29); and “Except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it" (From Psalm 127:1). Franklin urged that Your help be sought; this was agreed to, and You gave the needed wisdom and agreement.(1)
We are still in great need of Your assistance. Only You who formed us can keep us. Our President, Legislators, and Justices desperately need Your wisdom and guidance. Through the coming midterm elections, give us more leaders who know this. Cause the appropriate information to be released that will result in godly candidates winning elections. And secure the election process, whatever this might require.
Please give President Trump, Speaker Johnson, Majority Leader Thune, and Justice Roberts wisdom as they lead our three branches of government. Where they may not be aligned with You in their thinking and plans, please change this. And please remove government leaders who resist Your attempts to change their thinking. As Franklin spoke of, rule in our affairs!
In Christ’s name we ask, amen.
OUR DECREE:
We agree with the words of Scripture and our Founders: “God governs in the affairs of men.”
