My Prayer For You, Future Philippine President

It is only a couple of hours until the Philippine National Election and everyone is one the edge. Some are feeling giddy and excited while others are nervous and frantic. Political rallies are happening left and right and so are the bashing and political sabotage.

But this is not a blog of who to vote or who not to vote. Instead, I hope that as you read this blog, you will join me in prayer for our future president, whoever he or she may be.

Dear Lord, thank you for your unending love and grace.
Now that election day is near, give us wisdom and guidance to choose the leaders that will lead us and protect us Lord.

Lord we pray for our future president that he/she may have the blessing of Abraham and that whoever blesses him/her will be blessed.

Lord we pray for that he/she may have the conviction of Joseph and he/she may flee from the temptations of this world. We pray that like Joseph, he/she will find favor in the eyes of leaders of other nations and countries.

Lord we pray that he/she would have the courage of Daniel and that like Daniel, he/she will stand for what is right, even in the midst of persecution and threat for his/her life.

Lord we pray that he/she will have the heart of David and that he/she will sing praises to in the midst of victories and defeats. Like David Lord, we pray that he/s
he will be surrounded by Nathans who will speak life and truth to them and the he/she will respond with humility and repentance when they have done something they shouldn't have.

Lord we pray that he/she will have the wisdom of Solomon to guide this country prosperity.

Lord we pray that he/she will have the passion of Paul. We pray that like Paul, you will give him/her a Damascus moment where you will meet him/her and that he/she will never be the same again. We pray that like Paul, he/she will use his/her position to further Your gospel even to the ends of the Earth.

And lastly, we pray that he/she will have the obedience and the character of Jesus. We pray that like Jesus who was willing to lay His life down for the church, we pray that our future president will be willing to sacrifice everything for the people of the Philippines.

We also pray for a safe, calm, and honest election Lord.

In Jesus' Name, Amen....
