We continue to pray today through the ballot and for the massive clean up and recovery efforts along the East coast.
Scripture:
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 1 Kings 19:11-13
At this point in the recovery process, many people who have suffered a loss are questioning, seeking, searching for something more. Pray that they, like Elijah, will hear that still small voice that speaks to them and shows them something more than what they see and feel right now. Pray for those people and the Christians who are working with them right now.

Prayer:
Lord, we need to hear that still, small voice that speaks clearly to us. Help us to see where you are and where you are not in the chaos that is going on around us in this world. Help these that we vote for to hear your voice as well. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Prayer Points for Today:
- Pray for those who are still undecided today about their responsibility to vote.
- Ask God to speak clearly to those who are discouraged and disheartened in our country about where our real source of help comes from.
-Thank God that he comes to us in our time of need and speaks to us above the wind and fire and shaking earth.
Memory Verse for the Week:
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
Challenge:
Prayerfully consider setting aside a time to fast and pray between now and the election. It can be a day or it can be just a meal but let me encourage you to take that time or an extra time to pray in the next few days.
