Purpose
Drawing upon Christ’s teachings, we as Christians acknowledge our role as peacemakers, as the light and salt of the earth. On Saturday, December 5, 2020, we will gather virtually as one people of God, united by the Holy Spirit, in thanks for the gifts of government and democracy, and petition God in the aftermath of the election.

Prayers
- Prayer for Healing of Our Nation
“First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity” (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
- Prayer for Our Judicial System
“But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream” (Amos 5:24).
- Prayer for Our United States Congress
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people groan” (Proverbs 29:2).
- Prayer for the New President and His Administration
“God sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning”(Daniel. 2:21).
- Prayer for Elimination of Wickedness, Conspiracy Theories, and Racism from Our Culture
“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us” (Hebrews 12:1).
- Prayer for Containment, Healing, and Cure of COVID-19
The Bible foretold that pestilences (widespread diseases, including pandemics) would occur during the last days (Luke 21:11). The world is asking the church, “is there a word from the Lord?” We must pray that God will give us wisdom to be faithful in the midst of storms and pandemics, and God will bless the scientists and researchers with wisdom for a cure.
- Prayer for the Post-COVID Church
“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him” (John 4:23).
- Prayer for the Salvation, Growth, and Future of Our Children and Young People
“Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).
- Prayer for Global Peace and Reconciliation with Our Allies
“May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you! May the nations be glad and rejoice; for you judge the peoples with fairness, you guide the nations upon the earth.”
- Prayer for the New Year 2021
“Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord” (Lamentations 3:40).
