Victory in Jesus

"Open shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee. To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him... So now, our God, listen to the prayer of thy servant and to his supplications, and for Thy sake, O Lord, let Thy face shine on Thy desolate sanctuary... we are not presenting our supplications before Thee on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Thy great compassion." Daniel 9:8-9, 17-18

Regardless of the election's outcome, God is still sovereign, just, and merciful.

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; He will save us. (Isaiah 33:22)

The king's heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes. (Proverbs 21:1)

This week's prayer guide is shared by The Presidential Prayer Team, a website that offers weekly prayer requests for our national government. As you use their "Pray the Vote" guide, please pray also for the national, state, and local races in Indiana, Nevada, Tennessee, Missouri, and South Carolina. We can be confident that our prayers are heard by God and that He will answer them!

Thank you for your faithful prayers for the election. I trust that you have been blessed by your times of fellowship with the Lord during prayer, and encourage you to continue praying for America.
