Protecting God,
We pray today for political candidates at every level. First, we pray they would be godly men and women who are seekers after your heart and for whom you are their refuge and their dwelling. But we pray that as they travel and campaign, your angel armies’ protection would be strong around them. Thwart any plans of the enemy for vehicle trouble, illness, or even assassination. Guard their vehicles, their motion, their health. Give wisdom, discernment, and courage to the men and women who serve to help and protect them. As candidates are away from their loved ones or busy on the campaign trail, hold their families in the palms of your hands. May they, too, know your presence and protection.
In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. (Psalm 91:1, 9-12)

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.” (2 Chronicles 7:13-16 NIV)
