Day 36

Forty Days of Prayer for Our Country- Day 36
Tomorrow is a big day in the life of our country.  But no matter how much things may change or no matter how much they may remain the same, we can know that God has not changed nor has his rule over the nations.  This week's memory verse is short and sweet and to that point.  Let it be what we focus on today.

Scripture:

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.  Psalm 47:8

Prayer: 
Unchanging God, help us to always know that you reign over all.  No matter what happens, you are still on your holy throne, your power, your might, your plan for me and my country have not changed.  Help me to walk in faith of your unchanging love for us and to be prepared for the outcome of this election.  Give me a will and strength to keep on praying even after the election is over.  In Jesus' name, Amen.

Prayer Points for Today:
- Pray for the election process, that it would go correctly in this very tight presidential election.  Pray for election officials and those who will be working at the polls.
- Ask God to guide people as they vote tomorrow and to prepare our future leaders for the tasks ahead of them.

Memory Verse for the Week:

God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.  Psalm 47:8

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.
