Thank You, Father, for the peaceful and prosperous life you have allowed us to enjoy in Ohio. Forgive us for taking it for granted. Forgive us for neglecting to pray and to take the time to be informed about what is happening in the schools. forgive us for passively assuming that those we elect will do what is best for everyone. We are learning that is not always the case. Forgive us for taking our freedoms and Your kindness to us for granted. Please awaken Your people to the need to pay attention and no longer assume that the news is telling us the whole truth. Help us to be civil in our words and thoughts but persistent to demand that our school boards and school employees listen to parents' concerns and not impose indoctrination on our children. Help us to stand up to protect them and to get accurately informed where there are damaging things being taught. Help us not to be deceived by vagueness and twisted words but to accurately perceive who are sincerely serving and who are not. Raise up leaders in churches and community as well as government who will do what is right in Your eyes. Strengthen and protect those candidates who have bravely stepped into this fight. Convict those with power at any level who have been abusing it for personal gain or to further some destructive agenda. May they be shown just how wrong they have been. Help us to pray effectively in agreement with You. Watch over our elections, which have seemed pretty fairly run. Expose any ways that is not to case and help us correct what needs to be corrected. Bless our farmers. Bless our truckers. Bless our small business owners. Bless our police. Grant wisdom. Deliver us from the strategies that want to harm and divide us. Help our healthcare system adiministrators to do what is right even if it means opposing guidance from funding sources. Save America and save Ohio, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Most Gracious Father. I come to you in prayer for those in Ohio's government to seek You in all things. Father God, by Your Holy Spirit rule and overrule in their hearts and minds to govern in accordance with biblical principles and Your Holy Word. We repent Lord for the wicked ways we have and we repent before You. Keep those individuals in office who follow You and Your Word and remove from office those who do not. Expose those who lead for their own benefit and push You aside. Keep our lawmakers safe from those who would harm them. Thank You most Gracious God and I pray in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ I pray that you would infiltrate the inroads of the enemy into the minds, hearts and souls of the citizens of Ohio and the entire United States. Please put asunder anything that would cause your people to be unequally yoked with unbelievers in the spiritual realm. Bring courage to existing leaders to stand firmly against cancel culture and deceiving political/social philosophies. Release among your people and the citizens of Ohio/US a higher sense of purpose and communitiy. Override the agenda of Marxist, Socialist and satanic forces. Cancel Cancel Culture. Please blatantly reveal the racist, prideful and lust for power motivating these movements. Most of all, Father, expose the futility and end product of them, nihilism. In Jesus Name.

Lord God, I thank you that you raise leaders up and you take leaders down. Therefore, I believe you are in control of this mess our country is in. Help us, your people do our part to support those leaders who follow Biblical principles and voice our concerns to those who don't. You are in control and we know that as the end times draw nearer, perilous times will come. We need your help, wisdom and discernment to know how to pray for our leaders and each other. Have Your way, Lord and may your kingdom come, Your will be done, here in our country and our state, as it is in Heaven.

Almighty God we your people come before you in repentance and humility. We ask you perform a mighty work in the state of Ohio. We ask you thwart the plans of evil that our state officials and health departments are trying to pass. Instead we ask you to turn it to good as only you can do. We pray against the evil and the people that Satan is using. We ask that you would raise up the voices of the officials who are against this evil and give them courage and strength and protection to stand against it. We ask you would open the heart and mind of our governor to do your will Lord not his agenda of suppression and cowardice. We ask you for a miracle in this nation as you continue to bring the truth out in the open. That people would see and accept the truth and raise up their voices against this evil. We ask you would open the mouths of pastors to speak to the people about the lies that satan is spreading, to once again preach the truth of the gospel and not a watered down version to benefit themselves. Lord may you be glorified in the work that you are already doing and the mighty work to come. Thank you for answered prayer in Jesus's name. Amen
