On the eve of one of the most watched elections in U.S. history, at a time when the country is more divided than ever, it is time for the church to pray. Not for victory for a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, but that the Lord would use this crisis to unite His people in becoming an instrument of healing and unity. This country will be changed, not by politics or policies, but only by changed hearts through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let the Church arise, moving beyond a political or reform organization, and be the light she was called to be.

Heavenly Father, we as the church come before You to pray for ourselves and our nation. Our nation is in crisis. Fathers are set against sons, daughters against mothers. Parents kill children, and children kill parents. Hatred and division spread like wildfires among us. Father, the only answers are found in You. We as the Church humble ourselves before You and ask that You intervene. We ask first of all that You unite Your people as one. We ask that the church be filled with holy love for You, each other, and those around us to whom we are called to spread the Good News. Let the Bride of Christ move beyond the walls to bring the Light of the World to those dying around us. We pray that You break through hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh. You are able to cause all things to work together for good, so we ask that You use this crisis to bring Your people together to see a harvest of souls for the Kingdom of Christ, that they too may find unspeakable love, joy, and peace.  In the Unmatched Name of Jesus, Amen.
