Like many who went before him, God revealed to King Solomon a secret to life. In Proverbs 21:1, God makes it clear who is in charge, “the kings heart is in the hands of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases.” Despite how dynamic a nation’s leader is, how great their accomplishments or powerful their armies, the Great I Am forever reigns!
With this in mind, there is a necessary prayer which should be poured out while on your knees before you cast your vote this election day. God doesn’t say this is optional for Christian’s in 1 Timothy 2:1. On the contrary, God is commanding his followers to lift up all people over you in authority through prayer. Whether you are a democrat, independent, libertarian or republican, living out 1 Timothy 2:1 should be your 2012 Election Day prayer.
According to 1 Timothy 2:2, once this prayer is carried out with right intentions and motives, God will release blessings upon this land. Peace will spread throughout the nation, even entering once broken homes. Meanwhile, fear will be a distant memory, replaced by a spirit of tranquility. The main reason America has remained one of the last beacons of hope in the world is directly proportional to the prayer warriors, Hebrews 12:1, who have passed on God’s word to our generation. Pass the torch, get on your knees and remember to cover our leaders in prayer!
