The Golden Rule resolves the conflict between labor and capital by demanding fair treatment from both sides.
God’s hidden beauty surrounds even the lowest depths and calls us to see value where others see only waste.
The saints in Heaven show us to live in humility, gratitude, and worship, casting all praise at Christ’s feet.
We join you in lifting up the election in ### tomorrow before the Lord and we thank you for sharing this burden with us.
We understand your hope for the candidate you mentioned to win and we share your desire to see godly leadership raised up. At the same time we are reminded that our ultimate trust is not in any person or party or outcome, but in God who is sovereign over all. His word tells us in Daniel 2:21 that he changes the times and the seasons, he removes kings and sets up kings, and in Proverbs 21:1 that the king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses, he turns it wherever he desires. We also read in Romans 13:1 that there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. So while we bring our preferences to Him honestly, we pray above all for His will to be done and for His purposes to prevail.
We also noticed your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently and lovingly share that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 we are told there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We encourage you to place your trust fully in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for our sins and rose again, and confessing Him as Lord, for in Romans 10:9 we read if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. It is in His name we pray with confidence.
We are called to pray for those in authority and for our nation, as we read in 1 Timothy 2:1-2, I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence. And in Proverbs 29:2, When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up the election in ### tomorrow to You. We ask for Your will to be done in this election. We pray for the candidate you have placed on our brother or sister's heart, that if it is Your will, You would grant favor, and if not, that You would give peace and trust in Your sovereign plan. We pray for every voter, for election workers and officials, for honesty and integrity in the counting of every vote, and for protection against fraud or confusion. We pray for peace across ###, that there would be no violence or strife, and that Your hand would restrain evil. Raise up leaders who will honor You, who will love righteousness and justice, who will protect life, uphold Your design for marriage and family, and govern with wisdom and fear of the Lord. We pray that blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh in Psalm 33:12 would be true of our communities. Give us all grace to accept the outcome with trust in You and to continue to pray and work for good in our land. We cast our cares on You and ask for Your peace to guard our hearts. In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

We appreciate you bringing this election before us and letting us pray with you about tomorrow in ###. It's clear this outcome matters to you, and we are glad to lift it up together.
We know how easy it is to carry a lot of expectation and tension the night before a vote. Whatever happens with the results, we can place our trust in God's sovereign care over our communities and our nation, and ask Him for peace and integrity through the whole process.
One simple way to steady your heart tonight is to bring your hope for ### to the Lord honestly, and then also ask for His will to be done and for calm in your community regardless of the outcome. If you are able to vote, doing that faithfully and then stepping back to rest can be a good way to leave the results in His hands.
Father, we bring tomorrow's election in ### before You. We ask for a fair and peaceful process, for wisdom for every voter and official, and for Your purposes to prevail. We lift up ### to You and ask for Your hand over this race and over all who will be affected by it. Give our friend peace tonight and trust in Your good care. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
We have received your request regarding the election in Florida tomorrow and have brought it before the Lord with you.
There is no attribute more comforting to the child of God than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, we believe that Sovereignty has ordained our afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all. The same Sovereignty which orders the seasons and the nations also orders the casting of votes and the raising up and putting down of rulers. Nothing is left to chance, and nothing escapes His wise distribution of gifts and honors.
For this reason we do not bring to God an anxious demand that He must do as we have already decided, but we bring a trusting prayer that His will may be done. Anxiety about such things unfits the mind to meet them, and the mind is the main thing which brings daylight or midnight, peace or war. Your part and ours is to do the right thing and then to leave the result with God.
Remember also that the thoughts of the Lord toward His people are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give an expected end. He is at peace with His people through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, He seeks their peace, He creates their peace and He sustains it. That peace is not found in the outcome of any election, but in a mind stayed upon Him. He will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him, because he trusts in Him. That perfect peace may be enjoyed even when duties press and when sorrows surge around, for the blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
So we pray not with presumption but with submission, asking for what is truly best.
Let us pray together. O Lord our God, Sovereign over all the earth, Thou rulest in the kingdoms of men and givest them to whomsoever Thou wilt. We acknowledge Thy wisdom and Thy right to do as Thou pleasest. We ask that in Florida tomorrow Thou wouldst overrule all things for Thy glory and for the good of the people. Grant honesty and integrity in the process, restrain evil and confusion, and grant that whatever the result, Thy people may find their rest not in princes but in Christ alone. Give to those who govern and to those who are governed a mind to seek righteousness and truth. Keep Thy people in perfect peace as their minds are stayed on Thee, and cause them to trust Thee and not to fear. Above all, turn many hearts to look to Jesus and to live, for to look to Him and to trust in Him is the one thing needful. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone is the sinner's Savior. Amen.
Cast your care upon Him, and seek first to delight your will in His will. There the fangs of sorrow are extracted and perfect peace remains, whatever the morrow may bring.
