Kenneth E. Hagin prayed the following prayer on
January 31, 1983. It is still a powerful prayer and much needed today as we approach elections in our USA.
Let us pray and agree together as we say this prayer aloud.
Heavenly Father, we come again today. We come in the
Name of Jesus—not our name, not our power, not our holiness, not even our
goodness—but we come in the Name of Jesus, washed in His blood, robed in His
righteousness. We come because You told us to come. You said in Your Holy Word
for us to come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain help and grace
to help in the time of need. Thank You, Father.
We are exhorted in Your Word to pray, to intercede, to
supplicate, and to give thanks for ALL who are in authority, that
Christians—that believers—everywhere, may lead a quiet and peaceable life in
all godliness and honesty.
We pray for our leaders—our President, every member of
Congress, the Supreme Court, the president’s cabinet, everyone that’s in
authority—that divine wisdom and grace will be given unto them. And direction
will be given unto them.
We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of
evil that would try to dominate and rule in our own nation. We rise up against
that darkness. We rise up against those spirits and dispel the darkness.
In the
Name of Jesus, we command the devil to take his hand OFF of the political scene
of our nation. We pray for every politician, everyone that’s in office, that
they’ll not be so concerned about politics, that they’ll not be so party
conscious, but that they’ll be concerned about our nation as a whole—and above
all, put God first.
We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of
evil, the demons of hell that would endeavor to dominate the financial scene of
our nation. We pray for the economy of our nation.
We pray about the unemployed. We pray that the economy
will be turned around, and that we will be prosperous as a whole—as a nation—to
continue to carry the Gospel around the world. We command the devil and all of
his cohorts: Take your hand OFF of the financial scene of our nation.
We come against the powers of darkness, the forces of
evil that would endeavor to dominate the domestic scene of our nation. We
command you, Satan, and all of your cohorts: Take your hand OFF the domestic
scene of our nation. May there be peace. May there be tranquility. May there be
understanding from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Canadian border. We sweep the air clean from
demons—powers of evil that would hinder, that would dominate.
In the Name of Jesus!
We come against all forces that are wrong. And Father, we pray with our
understanding as best we know how. We’re instructed to do so. Yet we sense in
our spirit that our spirits have not prayed as they would like. We remember
that Paul said that if I pray in an unknown tongue, MY spirit prays, MY spirit,
by the Holy Spirit within me prays. So the great, mighty Spirit of God dwells
in us. He is our Helper. He is our Counselor. He is our Advocate. He is our
Intercessor. He is our Standby. He will help us.
We trust The Holy Spirit to help us to pray in this
area and about our nation, and the leaders, and all that are in authority.
Help us to pray as we ought to pray, and about things
that we don’t even know to pray concerning the coming election. We take
authority over every stronghold that would endeavor to hinder the process of the
right person being elected to lead our country.
We boldly proclaim that Your will shall be
accomplished. The Holy Spirit will give
us utterance. And we will pray and intercede and give thanks in the Spirit.

Prayer Scriptures
to Stand On – As we Pray
Over our Nation
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and
all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
ISAIAH 62:6–7 (AMPC) I have set watchmen upon your walls, O Jerusalem,
who will never hold their peace day or night; you who [are His servants and by
your prayers] put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence,
7 And give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem and makes her a praise in
the earth.
MATTHEW 18:18–20 (Message)
“Take this most seriously: A yes on earth is yes in
heaven; a no on earth is no in heaven. What you say to one another is eternal.
I mean this. When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make
a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of
you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there.”
JAMES 5:16 (AMPC) The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a
righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
EPHESIANS 6:12 (AMPC) For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood
[contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against
the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this
present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly
(supernatural) sphere.
ROMANS 8:26 (NKJV) Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.
For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself
makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
2 CHRONICLES 7:14–15 (NLT)
Then if my people who are called by my name will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I
will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. My
eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.

I'm with you, Hazel. Not a day goes by that I don't pray for this nation. And my prayer is that same one from second Chronicles.
Yes Lord, help us to walk in humility so that our hearts are changed and you will hear our prayers.
