Pray for Our State and Country Via: The South Dakota Freedom Caucus

Call to Prayer and Fasting

Dear Friends,

As we approach a pivotal moment in our country’s journey, the South Dakota Freedom Caucus invites you to join us in a time of prayer and fasting.

On November 5, South Dakotans face a crucial decision—not only in choosing our leaders but also regarding significant amendments that could profoundly impact our state and country. Among these are proposals related to extreme abortion measures and changes to our electoral processes that raise serious concerns.

As we navigate this pivotal moment, it is essential to seek God’s forgiveness and guidance. We invite you to join us in prayer and fasting during this critical time. Together, let us lift our voices and ask for divine wisdom as we prepare to cast our votes.

Below is our call to prayer. We encourage all our supporters to participate and stand firm in faith as we approach the election.

Our Prayer

Father in Heaven, thank you for the blessings you have given to this country.

From the beginning you guided our forefathers and blessed their efforts, but we have largely turned away from you as a nation.

We ask your forgiveness according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.¹ Lord, we pray specifically over this election, there are so many things to decide on and we need your wisdom, you are not a God of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33)² and you have not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7)³.

We ask according to your word that you embolden your people to stand in these days for righteousness, that we do what is right in your eyes in order that your hand of protection would remain upon this state and this country.

Protect our leaders, give them wisdom to make right decisions so that as in 1 Timothy 2:1-3⁴ we might live a quiet and peaceable life.

We pray this in Jesus name, Amen
