It’s that time of year again. Time to cast your vote and have your say on which politician will lead our country for the next four years. And as we all know, politics is an inherently contentious affair. No matter who you support, there’s a good chance you’ll feel passionately about it.
That’s why it’s important to have some thoughts and prayers ready in case things get heated during this election season. No matter who you choose to vote for, let us all unite in prayer for a peaceful and positive election season.
Prayers For Elections
Prayers for the upcoming elections can be offered in a variety of ways. Some people may choose to pray for their elected officials, while others may focus on specific policy areas they are concerned about.
One way to pray for the election is to ask God to bless the candidates and keep them safe. Pray that they will have wisdom and discernment as they make decisions, and that they will be inspired by God’s word. Ask Him to help them govern with righteousness and compassion, and to protect the nation at large.
Another way to pray for the election is to offer thanksgiving prayers for how things are in the United States today, as well as petitions for what you believe God would have them do in the upcoming election. Thank Him for our democratic process and all that it represents, from local elections to national contests. Ask Him what He wants you or America to become in this time—a land where justice prevails, or a place of great distress?
Whatever your prayer style, take some time before Election Day itself to give thanks for all that God has done in recent years despite our headlines. And then join us on November 8th as we cast ballots in obedience to His will!
How To Pray For Elections

Before you vote, try praying for strength and guidance. Ask God to help you make the right decision, and to protect your voting process.
After you vote, take a few minutes to thank God for his blessings on the election. Praise him for all the candidates who ran, and thank him for choosing the one who won. Thank him also for upholding our democracy by allowing votes to be counted.
