No matter where you stand politically, we can agree that there was a lot of hostile rhetoric during the recent midterm elections. No matter who won or lost – God still is in control. For our part, we are now called to pray for those in authority over us. Let's do that, believing that God can turn the hearts of the kings, and bring this country to a place of repentance; that He will convict of sin, and bring our wayward sons and daughters back home.

Father, we lift up, oh God, this nation, the United States before You, and we ask Lord that Your Holy Spirit will begin to brood over our places of government and bring the conviction of sin, of righteousness, and of the soon-coming judgement of everything that stands in opposition to God. Grant a humility to our leaders, oh God, may they experience Your presence in a way they have ever known You before. We appeal, oh God, for your mercy and we thank You for hearing us this day, in Jesus' name.
