God Almighty, we plead You to guide, protect, convict, and correct all candidates, campaigns, consultants, political operatives, and staff members. We implore You to draw them towards integrity before the citizens of this nation. Grant them the strength to honestly present their values and visions to us, free from manipulation and deceit. We earnestly request that You expose and vanquish those who resort to falsehood.
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience. Romans 13:1-14 ESV
“We should be unfaithful to ourselves if we should ever lose sight of the danger to our Liberties if anything partial or extraneous should infect the purity of our free, fair, virtuous, and independent elections. If an election is to be determined by a majority of a single vote, and that can be procured by a party through artifice or corruption, the Government may be the choice of a party for its own ends, not of the nation for the national good.” – President John Adams’ Inaugural Address March 4, 1797.
Hold Fast, Spread the Word and God Save the Republic.
Operation World Pray for Cabo Verde : Economic and ecological problems must be wisely addressed. The arid islands lack adequate fresh water and arable land. Scant resources were poorly managed in the past, intensifying Cabo Verde’s poverty. Pray for government leaders who will make good decisions and develop the economy for the betterment of the whole nation.
Operation World Pray for Cayman Islands : Christianity is numerically strong. There are more than 90 churches, many of them evangelical. With one church for approximately every 500 people, Christian faith and values should (and do) have a significant influence on society – pray that this might continue to be the case amid the materialism and hedonism. The nation’s flag bears part of Psalm 24, “He hath founded it upon the seas”. The new constitution includes recognition of the Christian heritage of the Cayman Islands. Pray that God’s sovereign power would not only be acknowledged in documents, but lived out with joy!
