Watch Focus Oct 24th, 2025: Local Elections
 
Tuesday, November 4th, is election day across the nation for key political positions in state, local, and special Congressional seat races. Hundreds of municipal positions including mayor, council, school board, and various judgeships, will directly affect community infrastructure, roads, public safety, schools, essential services, and some voting rules. Mayoral races like those in Charlotte and New York City have major local implications with national importance. In New York City, the gateway of American capitalism in decline through mismanagement, the front runner is pro-Hamas Marxist Zohran Mamdani. Congressional seats in Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Florida, will impact the current administration. Judgeships for several state supreme and appellate courts are on the ballot in a time of increasing violent lawlessness and dire need for criminal court reform.
 
We pray Lord to give us leaders who carry His wisdom and integrity. We pray for help from heaven’s righteous throne:
Psalm 121:1-2,
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord,
Who made heaven and earth.”
 
Creator Word of God, come down into our chaos, create and recreate righteous judgment and a return to order and peace.
 
We declare Daniel 2:21, “And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.”
 
Raise up righteous men and women and pull down unrighteous ones in every seat of power.
 
We seek the well-being of our cities:
 
Jeremiah 29:7, “And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.
 
We stand the watch for our nation:
Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance….”
Proverbs 14:34, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”
 
We pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit that touches every family and aspect of our culture.
 
Lord, send laborers and reap a plentiful harvest:
Matthew 28:18-20, “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
