Devotion For Day 1
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace
Today, as you join thousands of others in 40 Days of Prayer for the USA leading up to Election Day, let’s first remember that our future is not determined by any human outcome on November 5th. Our lives and futures aren’t about who governs in the White House, but about the Sovereign God who governs in heaven! Our mandate is not to worry or become anxious about the outcomes of an election. But, as the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ, we must come together in unity like John 17 states. We are to PRAY for His will to be done and His kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven
Psalm 133:1 says: “Behold (or look and see), how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!” May we dwell together and intercede together in unity on behalf of this nation so that all will know the goodness of our God within our communities and see His love flowing out across the nation!
Almighty Lord of lords, with deeply repentant hearts, we, Your people, humbly ask that with one heart and mind, we will seek You on behalf of our broken nation. Our hope is in You alone, O Lord! Help us to walk in such unity that those apart from You will deeply desire and long for the hope You have given us! We ask for the church to be so saturated with Your perfect and holy presence that our culture is transformed by Your power, Your grace, and Your loving mercy! May our hearts be aligned with Your purposes during this election season, seeking for Your kingdom to come into our midst! Revive Your people, O God, so that we may rejoice in You!
