As Christians, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you look at the state of our country today. The politics, the division, and the uncertainty about the future can feel like too much. But if you’re anything like me, you know that prayer is where the battle begins. It’s not just a nice sentiment or something we toss around because we don’t know what else to say. Prayer is our weapon. It’s the thing that moves mountains, breaks strongholds, and invites God into situations that seem impossible.

Let’s talk about how we should be praying for our country, the upcoming election, and for godly leadership.

Why Is Humility Important in Praying for Our Country?

First and foremost, we need to start with humility. We have to acknowledge that, as much as we think we know, God knows better. We need to get on our knees and ask God for wisdom and guidance—not just for our leaders but for ourselves. devotional and podcast are now available!
