On Fridays, we come together to pray for a change in the President, and, barring that change; a change in the Presidency.
Scripture is clear that character is not defined only by our decisions in the big moments alone, but also by how we handle the little parts of life along the way.
Today, we want to pray specifically for these “little parts of life,” and for a President who sees the importance in the seemingly insignificant. We will pray for a return to decency by this President, and a commitment to character from our next President. Today, we will pray, and then on November 3rd, we will vote.
You can join us live as we pray this prayer at 1pm ET/ 12 CT/ 11am MT/ 10am PT on Facebook and YouTube and the Vote Common Good website.
