A Prayer for Discerning Voters

Lord Jesus, during election time we, the voting public, are bombarded with messages and promises - many of which sound reasonable and truthful. But we're soon thrown into confusion when we hear contradicting messages and promises of others which also sound reasonable and truthful.

Jesus, we need ears to hear through the claims that solicit our vote. Because You are Truth, we look to You to steer us through this confusion. By your Spirit of Truth, guide us through the messages of every candidate and issue. Please expose any hype or fradulent claims that may lead us astray from Your Truth.

Your paths are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. Give us eyes to see the paths of righteousness which lie before us. Make us aware of the stumbling blocks that lie hidden along the way. May we not judge by mere appearances, but make the right judgement. Most of all, transform our nation so we will become a righteous people.

You have made Your Truth evident to everyone and Your wrath is vented against those who suppress it. We have no excuse for ignoring Your Truth. Please open our eyes to the bondage that comes from self deception. Amen.
