Local & state governance

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.”
(Psalm 33:12 NIV)

Pray. Research. Pray. Vote.

God,

Next month there will be multiple layers of elections. In addition to elections for offices at the federal level, states are preparing to elect governors, judges, trustees, state legislatures, and others. Local governments elect trustees, commissioners, school boards, treasurers, clerks, law enforcement officials, and others. We pray that in every race across this nation you would cause to be elected men and women after your own heart. We pray that there would be good governance at the local and state levels. We pray for your wisdom to be upon these civic leaders that they may make good decisions for the good of the citizens.

Amen.
