Prayer for the Federal Election
When considering how we vote in an election, it is not just the policies of the respective parties that we must consider. Equally, or even more importantly, we must examine the character and values of the individual candidates and, indeed, of the parties themsevles.
Pray that God would rule over this election. That rightous leaders would be elected to govern this nation in truth and justice.
