Day 31

Forty Days of Prayer for Our Country- Day 31
Over the next few days, along with the presidential candidates, we will be praying for elections on the state level.
We will also be praying for storm victims.
Scripture:
May the peoples praise you, O God;
    may all the peoples praise you.
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,
    for you rule the peoples justly
    and guide the nations of the earth. Selah   Psalm 67:3-4


When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
    but the righteous stand firm forever.  Proverbs 10:25

Prayer: 
Heavenly Father who guides the nations, give us guidance for our decisions.  There is so much we do not know but nothing is hidden before you so show us your way, rule over us and our nation in the days to come.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer Points for Today:
 -Pray for tonight's Family Fall Festival - the Evangecube will be presented to children, pray for them to really hear the message and pray for a deepening of connection between the church and families.
- Ask the Father to provide protection to little ones on this night that the world often uses to celebrate darkness.
-Pray for Texas Baptist Men Disaster Relief workers who are answering the call to work with the Kentucky Baptist Men Disaster Relief units in Orange County, New York.  Pray for their witness after this storm.
- We are now seven days away from the election, pray for the American people to have wisdom and guidance as you pray for those listed above.

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.
