This is possibly the most important election concering the future of American than any other. I urge you to pray before you vote.
Below is a letter written by Dr. James Dobson. I hold the same bibical views as he does and would like to share his words of wisdom with you as he calls all Believers to prayer before casting their vote on Nov 4th.
Regardless of your political views, I want to urge Christians everywhere to be in prayer about this election. There are many scriptural references wherein King David “inquired of God” when he was faced by troubling circumstances (1 Samuel 23:2,4; 30:8; 2 Samuel 2:1; 5:19,23). It is time for Christians everywhere to turn to Him for guidance and wisdom. Find some time to be still and listen to what He wants to tell you. The National Day of Prayer Task Force, led by my wonderful wife, Shirley, has embarked on a national campaign entitled “Pray for Election Day.” All around the country, individuals and groups are being encouraged to gather every Thursday leading up to Nov. 4 between 12 noon and 12:30 p.m. Spend time with the Lord, asking Him to guide and direct those privileged to cast a ballot. If you are able, I would also encourage you to fast and pray immedately before the election. After all, it was the Reverend Billy Graham who once said that “To get nations back on their feet, we must first get down on our knees.” Amen, Dr. Graham.
This election is about the future of the nation, but it will also go a long way toward determining the culture your children and grandchildren will come to know. I know you will vote with your children and your children’s children in mind. That certainly puts the election in a different light, doesn’t it?
You know my heart on these issues, and I hope you understand that I am less concerned with politicians and political parties than I am with the timeless biblical principles that those parties have the power to either strengthen or damage. No candidate is perfect, whether in this election or any other. Please don’t make your decisions lightly. There is simply too much at stake. May God grant each of us wisdom as Nov. 4 approaches.
Sincerely,
Dr. James Dobson

Thank you for your devotion today and for this post. I also believe that as Christians we have the power to band together and make a difference if we all just got out and voted! It is such a simple step we can take to help make a HUGE difference.

Thanks, Micca, for this post and for your devotion.
It really is a time for praying and fasting for our country. May God’s grace and mercy and blessing be with us. May we honor Him.

So full of emotion tonight as I head to bed. I will continue to pray, as I have been for some time now. In addition to praying for the presidential outcome, I’m praying for my heart’s outcome…to be trusting and to be at peace with my life as an American. It’s tempting to hold some anger and resentment toward those who don’t share my similar passions in certain areas; thus, my need to surrender the outcome to Jesus.
Praying for you as well this night. God bless you in your ministry as you carry Christ’s peace to the world.
