We have such a privilege and an honor in that we are allowed to participate freely in the selection of our leaders.  Some years it’s very easy to decide others it can be excruciatingly difficult, but always it’s important.

If you haven’t voted yet and are a registered voter, please take the time and make the effort to make your voice heard.  I created a little piece of digital art  as a little gift for those those that would like it.  Feel free to use it as you wish, no strings attached!  Just click on the image and it will take you to the download.  It’s a png file, only 100 dpi meant mostly for online sigtag usage.

THE SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: 1 Tim 2:1-2  I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.  NIV

PRAYER:  Lord, we are electing new leaders for our country and  we do not know the heart of each candidate like you do.  We don’t know the best choice, only you do and we ask that you guide us in our elections that we might place the best men and women in each position.  We pray that their hearts would be led by you, changed by you in some cases and strengthened by you in all.  We pray for wisdom, character and integrity for each office holder and that any evil, crooked individuals would have what they have done in darkness exposed to the sunshine.  Help us Lord, by giving us not who we deserve, but who we need to keep our land safe, our children protected and our feet headed towards the right path.  Amen
