"First of all, then, I admonish and urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men, For kings and all who are in positions of authority or high responsibility, that [outwardly] we may pass a quiet and undisturbed life [and inwardly] a peaceable one in all godliness and reverence and seriousness in every way. For such [praying] is good and right, and [it is] pleasing and acceptable to God our Savior," writes the Apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 2:1-3 Amplified Bible.
Casting our vote Tuesday, November 6, for president of the United States and other governmental offices and political issues is a form of prayer; we will be making a request of God on how to lead America.
Good leaders implement good policies. Proverbs 16:12 Amplified Bible says, "It is an abomination [to God and men] for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established and made secure by righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation)."
