6 ways to pray for our country during the midterm election
God calls us to pray in all situations — no exceptions for an election year. When we make the decision to lift our voices in prayer for government leaders and country, we make a bold choice to demonstrate Jesus’ love regardless of what’s going on around us. The prayers offered here call for wisdom, love, and unity — in and between election candidates, and us. As we navigate what will likely be a divisive time for our country, we pray boldly that God will help us see each other through His eyes and help our leaders make godly decisions.
