James 1:5-8

When a ballot issue is clearly addressed in Scripture, then we are called to cast our vote accordingly. That is not always the case. However, we can find guidance by applying the principles we do know and by asking God for wisdom in prayer. This assumes we’ve done our part by educating ourselves about the issues. But if the path is still unclear, talk to God in the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Questions for further thought:
1. Do you see political decisions as an appropriate subject for prayer? Why or why not?
2. Which issue or issues do you see as the most challenging for you? How do you plan to approach it/them?  

​Challenge: This week, if you are not educated about the issues, use this time to get familiar with them so that you know how to vote before you get to the polls.
