Prayer for Wisdom for Public Officials

Day 32 (October 25, 2008)

 

For God to Burden Christians to Run for Public Office

 

Public service is an important part of the Christian’s calling as salt and light.

Scripture for Reflection and Preparation (HCSB)

 

Proverbs 8:15-16

15 It is by me that kings reign and rulers enact just law; 16 by me, princes lead, as do nobles [and] all righteous judges.”

 

Luke 12:48

48 But the one who did not know, and did things deserving of blows, will be beaten lightly.  Much will be required of everyone who has been given much.  And even more will be expected of the one who has been entrusted with more.”

 

Philippians 2:3-4

3 Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.  4 Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.”

 

Preparation

  • Praise God for who He is
  • Confess your sinfulness and need for cleansing
  • Allow His Spirit to draw you near
  • Listen as He speaks to you

  • Help you know if He wants you to become more involved in the civic life of your community or nation
