Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable... We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and Set us free. In Jesus’ name. Amen!'

Tuesday, November 6^th our nation is given the opportunity to select the President, as well as many other political offices, of our great country. It is an honor, a privilege and an obligation for us as citizen of this great nation to vote. No matter what your ‘Party’ affiliation is it is important for each of us to participate. You are invited and encouraged to be in prayer over the next several days about the state of our nation, about the freedoms we enjoy, and for God’s guiding and discerning hand to be upon each of those who will be serving our country both now and after the election.
