Day-after-election prayer written by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
Oh Lord, King of nations,
This nation has much for which to be grateful. Among these, the privilege of expressing our beliefs and voting for our leaders.
Yet we recognize that no person, party, or election outcome can fix the problems of our republic. To think they can is delusional and dangerous, for our disease and decay run far deeper and wider than most imagine.
Now, no less than ever, this country needs You. May our hubris be toppled by humility and may You grant the gift of true repentance—in our leaders, in the electorate, and most importantly, in Your people.
May every Nebuchadnezzar-like instinct, around us and, yes, within our own hearts, bow before You and acknowledge that “Heaven rules” (Daniel 4:27).
May You may bring mercy rather than judgment to our land, that our citizenry may flourish and that You may be exalted, worshiped, and served, as You deserve.
Amen.
