God of Justice, Truth, and Power,
Thank you that you are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, our God of Justice and Righteousness. Thank you that your Love, Grace, and Mercy for this world and her inhabitants include a call to your Holiness. Thank you that your Holiness and Justice do not change; you are always fighting for Goodness and Truth. Today we pray that you would be exalted by justice, show yourself holy in righteousness, and expose the unfruitful and evil works of darkness. We know we do not fight against the flesh and blood of this world, but against the cosmic spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places - and that evil that bleeds into our world. We pray that those who persist in wickedness and sin in our government, media, arts & entertainment, education systems, business, family, and even Church would be rebuked publicly. We pray against the spirits of arrogance and pride, evil and perverted speech in all those areas; we pray against those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Your Word says everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed, but we pray those wicked deeds would be exposed. We pray especially that every evil intention and deed done and planned in our election system would be exposed - from an individual person in a local township or county clerk's office, to a statewide elected leader, to a network of nefarious people intending to pervert the accurate counts of the will of the people, even up through the highest reaches of the federal government - may your JUSTICE reign. We ask you to give righteous settlements in court cases relating to the vote. We pray that the upcoming election in the Georgia Senate run-off races would be pure and without any corruption or fraud in voting or counting of votes. Wherever there may be corruption, we pray your Light would expose all these evil deeds with irrefutable evidence that leads to convictions. We pray for intense discernment, courage, and great protection for all those who are investigating this election. May they know your will and your strength and be guided by your Spirit. We pray against any plans for bribes, partiality, lying words, false witnesses, or anyone devising wicked plans. Thwart the plans of the enemy, God, and bring them into your Light of Truth. In the strong name of Christ we pray, Amen.
