     Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You for the privilege given to rejoice in You this morning.
     Lord, it is You who love and reign over us all. We , as Your children intercede this morning for our nation of many different creeds and convictions, ethnicities and backgrounds.      
     Lord, on this day of election results, we come together in one accord and stand in the gap as Your body, to lift up our country and our leaders to be elected. 
     Lord, we rest in You, relentlessly trusting in Your sovereignty and plan for our nation. Raise up the leaders as per Your will, and fill them with wisdom and leadership qualities to give us a good governance. 
     Lord, let our leaders not practice self promotion and fanaticism. Let the common man's challenge - health & welfare, unemployment, civil unrest, financial hardships, controversies on various other fronts be addressed on top priority. 
     Lord, let all our new leaders work together, focused on truth, integrity, justice, and fairness to all people. Let the plans and schemes they implement be in the best interests of all the people, beyond caste, creed & color. 
     Lord, let people of high moral character and spiritual maturity surround them. Keep away from them, the people who focus on their own interest and give wrong advices.
     Lord, we, whom You have chosen as Your Heritage, commit ourselves  to uphold our leaders and the Government in our prayers for the welfare of our nation. 
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
