OUR KING: You are our Creator God, the true ruler of this universe, the King of Kings. Father, please call us, your people, to humility before You. Give us ears to hear You that we may humble ourselves under your mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6). We thank you for the gift of choice you have given to us (Rev. 3:20, Joshua 24:15). We ask that You reign in our lives and in our communities . . . we pray to choose You in every situation and especially as we vote.
OUR CONFESSION: We are so prone to criticize others in our sin-filled culture, this decaying world. Instead, we ask to become as aware of our own wrongs and hurtful actions, past and present, as we are of the sins committed against us. Whether our hurt comes from an inconsiderate family member or elected officials, please enable us to relinquish the desire to judge them and harbor bitterness and rage in our hearts. Oh God, cleanse us of the desire to make others suffer as we have suffered. Instead, we give our grievances to You, Lord Jesus, because You have already suffered and died for all of them (1 Peter 4:1). You have paid the price for the wrongs done to us as well as for our own wrongs. Thank You. As we receive your grace, may it now flow through us to others. Cleanse us of anger, even righteous anger, that we may be filled with your Holy Spirit and all its fruits. We leave justice and restoration up to You. We ask to dwell in your mercy and goodness that allow us unity in our homes, our churches and our communities. 
OUR PRAYER: Most of all, Father, we ask for revival in the realm of personal relationship with You. May your voice be known and heeded within us and among us, and your Word be our compass and our comfort. May your compassion so motivate us that every ministry, every church has an abundance of volunteers and more than enough funds (Exodus 36:5). May every adult and every child hear of and experience your love and freeing truth. May the pastors of every town and city meet together encouraging one another in your service. May your purposes be accomplished. Please, Lord God, reveal yourself to us, in us, and through us. We personally need You; our communities, this nation, and this world are desperate for You.
OUR HEALING & PROTECTION: We also ask, Father God, that You replace our disgust with one another, even hatred, with your love and respect. You alone can heal the rift between generations, between races and ethnic groups, between genders, and between political parties, only You. Please do so. Protect us from the evil one that seeks to turn us against one another. Please expose evil (Eph.5:11), so we will turn from its allure to embrace your mercy and goodness that follow us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6). Cleanse our hearts of suspicion and blame, and please heal the wounds from hurtful words and false or even accurate accusations. Instead of focusing on the sins of others, may we recognize and confess our own. Cleanse us of self-righteousness that we may no longer be blind to the needs and frailties within us. We ask for courtesy to again be common—in every interaction and transaction, on our sidewalks and on our roads, and especially in our homes. We pray for kindness (Eph. 4:32) and respect between all the people groups in our communities and unity under God.
OUR MISSION: May each of us accept election as your representatives, your ambassadors, and become like John the Baptist—a voice (Isaiah 40:3) preparing your way into the hearts of our friends and neighbors, old and young, weary or idealistic. You, Lord Jesus, are life to us, the answer to every problem. May we again open the doors of our own hearts (Rev. 3:20) and humble ourselves beneath your mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6) that you may be released to do your work in us, among us, and through us. May the hope of heaven be our energy source and the fear of death lose all of its power. We long for your return in glory. Please enable us to abide in You, the Vine, bear much fruit, and FINISH THIS LIFE WELL. To You Lord Jesus and the Father, we give praise and glory and many thanks for all You have already done. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ as You instructed us to do. Amen
