Father, you have given us a great nation, a great land and a great responsibility.As we prepare for Tuesday's elections, we ask for your guidance, your strength and your wisdom to select the people who will move this country in the direction intended by its founders, as revealed in their very writings.
Help us to seek Your will and Your way, to conduct ourselves with grace and aplomb so as to bear a great witness for you, even as we decide the direction our great land takes.
Whatever happens Tuesday, help us remember that You are in control, even when our finite minds cannot see You at work.
May we be submitted to You, grateful to You and committed to You without reservation.
It is Jesus' precious and wonderful Name that I pray.
Amen.
Note: I realize that there are some of you who are not believers, and that's OK. This is America, and you have the right to be wrong if you want to be. But this is my blog. I am a believer, whether you approve or not. So, accept that this is my personal prayer and go on about your business in peace. I am not praying to you, nor do I care about your opinion of my prayer, for it is mine to pray. While I am at it, if you don't have a personal relationship with God through faith in the finished work of Christ at the cross of Calvary, and His resurrection, I pray that this day will not pass until you have realized God's magnificent claim on your life...it will be the greatest day you have ever lived. But you do as you please.

let us pray we take our Nation back JOE!
We might also add that the God given liberties that have been either diluted or removed be reinstated.....and our capitalistic System be restored....Thanks.....
Joe the tape I had up on my blog was just played in TV...
Beautifully articulate, Joe. Thank you SO much for this. It has calmed my spirit just to read your words. I know God hears our prayer. I know that He honors our efforts & I join you in prayer for our nation.
May I use this? (of course I'll link back here)
tha malcontent: Well, maybe somebody will learn something!
Susannah: Of course you can.
Joe - That is a wonderful prayer, one that we need to guide us not only through Tuesday's election, but at any time.
Thanks for giving us that.
Amen, Joe....wonderful prayer.
How sad that you needed to write that "note" in AMERICA. the Note really touched me.
Joe - I agree with what Z said about the note not being necessary. I was thinking the same thing.
Joe~ Thanks for letting me use this. I've posted it this morning, & put it up all over Twitter.
Pray. Vote. Pray.
Joe, I know I posted this comment on 11-7's post, but I wanted to be sure your other friends here saw it too:
Oh, and Joe, I wanted to tell you, I spoke w/ my Mother in law yesterday. She was so very moved by the prayer that I posted on election day -- which was yours, of course -- that she printed it, prayed it, & carried it around w/ her all the day long. She said, "That was so wonderfully worded; it's exactly what we need right now."
I assured her that I would pass her comment on to you. I know, dear friend, that many, many people were/are blessed by those words. Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow.
