The blue wave was bigger than many predicted.

Many people predicted a “blue wave” in last week’s midterm elections. What we saw was more dramatic than even a blue tsunami. Democrats took the House and Senate, flipping several Republican strongholds including both Carolinas, Kansas, and Texas.

Consider

In the weeks and months to come, Americans will continue to analyze Republicans’ historic defeat, especially as the nation enters the early stages of the 2028 presidential election process. Let us pray that we have eyes to understand this outcome with clarity.

President Trump has had an undeniably historic impact on American politics and especially the Republican Party, but his era is coming to a close. What will happen when Trump leaves office for the last time? Will we see a continued rightward shift toward populism, or a resurgence of conservatism at the helm of the GOP?

It’s time to pray for our leaders, for the future of the conservative movement, and the future of our nation.

Pray

Please pray the following prayer along with me:

Dear God,

Your Word tells us to pray for our leaders. Today, we pray for every person elected to a position of public service last week. Guide them with divine wisdom, motivating them to stand up for what is right and defend their constituents’ Constitutional rights.

Help us remember that You are in control and that our hope lies in You—even if we are disappointed in the results of a particular election. 

One political era in American politics is ending. Show us the way we should go in the future and raise up leaders to steer the nation in the direction You have for America.

Reinvigorate Your people to continue advocating for families, for the unborn, for freedom, and every issue that intersects with our Constitutional rights.

Help me to apply biblical values in the way that I vote, react to election results, interact with political opponents, and advocate for policies I believe in.

In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
