Father God,

Today, I pray that You would speak clearly through Your Spirit to make Your people understand what our role as earthly citizens should be while we walk as heavenly citizens upon this earth. You made us body and spirit, commanding us to take dominion of this earth which requires us to relate one with another. You commanded us to love one another, to teach, to admonish, to address sins with one another, to administer justice, and to proclaim truth.

How we walk on this earth as individuals carrying out these commands intersects with how we collectively govern different bodies of people. The Bible provides that truth, but we need Your Spirit to make our minds to understand so that we can overcome the sinful nature which we are still mortifying.

Show us clearly how to apply Your truths to our voting, our participation in government, our alliance, to our emphases, to our public statements. Keep us in remembrance that Your Word applies to all of life as You are sovereign over all areas of life, personal and public, individual and collective.

In Christ’s Name,

Amen
