Prayer for the Nation from the book, Pray Before You Vote
By Freya Sullivan

“For the kingdom of God is the Lord’s and rules over all nations”
Psalm 22:28

Lord in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, I exalt You this day. This is the day that You have made and we will rejoice in it. You are holy, mighty, righteous, loving, just and faithful. Lord, God we pray for this nation, the United States of America, to turn her heart back to You. Lord, God this nation was founded on Christian principles and was built on the word of God. Lord You brought us into Your light.

Lord we repent for this nation because we have turned our backs on You. You left us a blueprint, the Bible, to follow and we have allowed ungodly legislation to enter law books to govern us. We have voted for causes that totally contradict Your word and we have neglected to vote. Lord, for this we apologize.

We apologize for neglecting the poor and the needy and putting our own selfish desires for power and authority before the care of Your people. Lord we repent for allowing the Ten Commandments and Prayer to be taken out of the schools. Lord we repent for not teaching our children Your word and Your ways. Lord we repent for pushing our own agenda ahead of Your agenda. We repent for not using our rights to vote men and women in office who reflect Your Word. Forgive us for being unbalanced. Forgive us for misrepresenting the Christian faith and for being hypocrites. Lord, unsaved people are watching us and they see hypocrisy and deceit. Lord, help us to learn to work together to accomplish the greater good for this country.

Lord we come against all ungodly legislation in Jesus name. We come against lobbyists who commit their time and money to lobby against the Word of God. We pray that no weapon formed against your people shall prosper and that Your law will override any law that is created on earth.

We pray that You will touch the heart of the President, Presidential Cabinet Members, Senators, Congressmen, Congresswomen, State Representative, Oval Office members, Governors, Mayors, City Council Man and City Council Woman that they will desire to do Your will and vote Your values. We pray for righteous authority. You said in Your word that when the righteous are in the authority, the people rejoice. We pray for righteous leaders to step forth. We pray for unity in the cabinet and the willingness and desire to work across party lines.

We come against any leaders that would try to stand against Your word. We pray that they will not prevail.

We come against terrorists and extremist that hate America. We pray that they will not prevail. We pray You uncover every terrorist cell and the enemy will not prevail. We pray You will touch the hearts of enemies so they will come into the light of Jesus. We pray they will learn about the love of Jesus and His desire to see all men saved and that no man will perish.

We pray for our spiritual leaders: Apostles, Pastors, Prophets, Evangelists, and Teachers to teach and preach Your word with authority and love. We pray they will seek Your face and hear Your voice during this hour. We pray they will share Your word with Your people and direct Your people in the right direction. Give Your people increased spiritual discernment. Let us not be fooled by the words of man but give us discernment to see their true fruits.

I come against prejudice, racism, sexism, and ageism. Lord You said You have no respect of a person and that You will use anyone that You want to use. I pray for unity in the church. I pray that Your people will work together to reach lost souls for Jesus Christ. I also pray that Your people will seek Your face and turn back to You.

I pray that You will give our legislatures wisdom and sensitivity to the needs of Your people. I pray that You will expose every corrupt and lying spirit. I pray that You will guide us as we vote on election day. You said Your people perish because of lack of knowledge. Help us to do our homework on each candidate. Help us to seek Your face in prayer and fasting to see what is best for this nation. Give us the boldness to act on what You speak to us.

We come against ungodly legislation and ungodly bills. We pray the lobbyists are quitting. They will not lobby against your word but for your word. Give them a change of heart in Jesus name.

We bind deception in Jesus’ name that your people are not deceived by words. Let your kingdom come and your will be done in Jesus name. We come against the spirit of hate that is against America. We speak healing for our land and come against violence in the United States. Lord we come against poverty, sickness and diseases.

Lord, we pray for our troop's safety and protection. We pray that you expose every terrorist cell and every enemy that would try to harm the United States of America. We push back the hand of the enemy and dispatch Your angels to every member of our armed forces and pray they are covered in the blood of Jesus. We pray they will have the right equipment to fight this war. We pray that we will be able to bring them home soon. We thank You for their sacrifice for our freedom and our country. Forgive us for not standing in the gap for them. Forgive us for being critical when we should be prayerful. Thank You for the freedom that You have given this country. Give the leaders of our armed forces wisdom and guidance. We pray for peace among all nations. We pray that salvation will take place in foreign lands.

We pray You will give the Central Intelligence Agency Your Intelligence which supersedes anything we can think of. Give them inside knowledge so they can stop the enemy in the planning stages. Give the Federal Bureau of Investigation Your insight to stop terrorists who would try to hurt innocent people of this nation. We pray for law enforcement to be fair and just in all of their dealings. We come against racial profiling in Jesus name. We pray for sound and just investigations in Jesus name. We pray for righteous people to enter law enforcement and the government. Remove every person from these decision-making positions whose heart is far from You in Jesus name.

Lord, we ask that You give our President wisdom and guidance in his decision-making. Give him a heart for all people. Give him wisdom to work across party lines. Give him wisdom to lead and guide Your people. Give him a heart to help the homeless, elderly, poor, needy, sick, fatherless, motherless, uneducated, teenagers, veterans, minorities, and majorities. We also pray for healthcare for those who cannot afford it and preventive programs to help our society become healthier. Put the right people in his path. Uproot every person whose motives are impure. Let him not be deceived by familiar spirits but let him test every person to see if they are of God.

Give us wisdom for the upcoming election. Lead us in our vote. Let us seek Your face and vote righteously. Give us balance and understanding of what You are doing at this hour. Let us stay away from party lines and vote according to the Word of God. Let us not be deceived by leaders who have their own agenda. Lord allow Your Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth in Jesus name.

Lord, we give this nation back to You. We pray that You will tear down everything that would exalt itself against Your word. We pray for mercy on the United States of America. We pray that we will turn our hearts back to You and that we will vote prayer and the Ten Commandments back into the school system. We give our school system back to You. We come against crime, premature death, fights and bomb threats. We pray that school leaders will see the importance of having Christ in school. We pray You will touch the hearts of the decision-makers and they will turn their hearts to You in Jesus name.

We declare and decree that the United States of America is Your country and it belongs to You. We give it back to You. Help us to use our God-given authority to do Your will in Jesus name.

Amen.
