God calls us to pray for our leaders — that they would submit to His leadership for the sake of His will being done and for the advancement of His everlasting kingdom. As followers of Christ, we need to pray for our leaders both in and out of the election season.
The heart behind this prayer guide is to pray for our current and future leadership, using Scripture as the foundation for each prayer. It is designed not only for you to use in your personal quiet time but also to pray with a prayer partner or small group and intercede for our nation together.

“The LORD foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.”
Prayer
Lord, we know that in the midst of this time, You have kingdom purpose. You have brought our country to its knees. Nothing that is happening is a surprise to You. You see the big picture, and You are at work in ways that we cannot see. Please guide the direction of our country.
