Category: Approaching the Throne of Grace
O Sovereign, majestic, omnipotent Lord, I extol Your name, Your power, and Your goodness this morning. You are the risen Lamb, once dead, but now alive from the grave, raised in an incorruptible, imperishable body to live forever as King of heaven and earth. I stand in awe of Your greatness.
O Lord, king of the Unites States of America, I beseech You to make Your grace and long-suffering patience evident to us this day. As we exercise our privilege to choose our national, state, and local leaders, I ask that You exercise Your sovereign right to raise up and to remove kings. Lord Jesus, be merciful to us, I pray. We deserve a magistrate that will take us into further lawlessness and, thereby, into further condemnation. But please grant to us those who will rule according to Your righteousness, those who derive their ethics from the Scriptures, those who love You and seek to obey Your divine mandates.
