All prayers are heard in heaven-no Chad's allowed, no voting machines allowed. God has given every believer the responsibility to pray for leadership, pray for His intervention in our affairs, and to be a good steward over what has been given to us. In America, that means the right to vote and speak our thoughts. The prudent Christian knows that our speech is welcomed more in heaven than upon the earth. Wars are fought and won in heaven before they get to the earth. There is a winner-with or without prayer, action or inaction, we make the decision on who wins.

Proverbs 16:4 states "The Lord hath made all things for himself; yea, even the wicked for the day of evil." We have the right to choose our life and our environment. If we do not take an active role in our political environment-we have brought whatever it produces upon ourselves. Abstinence of involvement creates a type of apathy-a healthy Christian retains hope.

Nothing is impossible for the God of creation, even the elections, but we must take the first step and ask whatever we require, by faith. The prayers of the righteous are not forsaken, and they avail much! We must remember always, God can't do what we don't ask.

Living in New York City since January 2002 and witnessing the swaying of emotions since 9/11 and the constant terrorists alerts, it is amazing to hear people openly speaking about prayer-but not the hope of its results. Without prayer for this very important presidential election-are we setting ourselves up for the visitation of evil?

In this important year of presidential election, to avert evil upon us remember, we are all one body working together-in this case, let the tongue do the work, the knees bend in support, and the heart be open to the inspiration of the Creator and Supplier of our needs.
