1 Timothy 2:1-2 — “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”

Lord, we lift up each candidate running for office and their families. We pray for their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being during this demanding time. Protect them from harm, slander, and fatigue. Let them conduct themselves with dignity and grace, showing respect and honor to one another. We ask that You draw near to them, revealing Your love and truth. If they do not know You, may they encounter Your presence in a life-changing way. Bless and guide them, and may Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
