Activate Your Faith Leader
Activate Your Faith Leader
Women of faith, you have a special place in this time. Your voice will help encourage your faith leaders to speak up. Send your pastor, priest or rabbi an encouraging email today, and especially before this weekend’s services.
Sample:
Pastor, would you please challenge our church family this week to:
-
Pray for our nation, our leaders, and this election
-
Become informed to discern which imperfect candidates will most likely advance God’s principles
-
Vote as an intentional act of stewardship, love for our neighbors, and care for future generations.
Our hope is in God, but our responsibility is to be faithful with what He has entrusted to us. We cannot expect to influence our culture if we are unwilling to participate in shaping it.
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking You to search our hearts and awaken Your Church! Forgive us for the times we have chosen comfort over conviction, silence over responsibility, and busyness over the stewardship You have entrusted to us. Holy Spirit, awaken us from apathy and complacency! Open our eyes to the needs of our children, our families, our communities, and future generations. Remove the distractions and obstacles that keep us from engaging faithfully. Stir within us a fresh urgency to pray, become informed, and exercise our right to vote with wisdom and conviction. Give us discernment to evaluate candidates and issues through the lens of Your Word. Give us courage to stand by our convictions and humility to seek truth. Remind us that being salt and light requires more than good intentions. It calls us to faithful action! As Your Word declares in James 2:17, “Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” Father God, let our faith move us to action. Father God, awaken our pastors to equip Your people and encourage every eligible believer to embrace the responsibility of voting. As You called Nehemiah to rebuild the wall, call each of us to take our place and faithfully steward the influence You have entrusted to us. Father God, we declare no more apathy from the Ecclesia! No more sitting on the sidelines while our God-given responsibilities go unattended. In the mighty name of Jesus, stir our hearts so that prayer leads to action, conviction produces courage, and our faith is evident in how we serve You, each other and future generations. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen!!
