The Easiest Choice You’ll Make Today: Hope-Filled Election Resources from ROH

Ready or not, this reality is impossible to avoid: Election Day in the United States is coming.

Maybe for you, this day brings with it a rush of adrenaline—the excitement of participating in the electoral process, of executing your civic duty. Or perhaps you feel deeply burdened by the state of our country and the issues to be decided. As a Minnesota transplant, I’m deeply grieved that my state has led the way in removing nearly all restrictions on abortion and that states around the nation are preparing ballot measures so they can fall in step.

There will be no shortage of news to sift through on Election Day. That’s why our team wanted to provide you with a different kind of ballot, filled with resources to draw your eyes toward Jesus—a ballot in which every choice leads to hope!

Because “Heaven rules” (Dan. 4:26), we know that God is still on His throne no matter how the election turns out. Not a single event in the United States, Brazil, Ukraine, Russia, China, Australia, or anywhere around the world is hidden from his watchful eye. And as Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth shared in her final message at True Woman ’22, “The King still has one more move.” We place our hope in Him today. We place our hope in Him every day.

In each category below, select one (or more!) resources to help you meditate on Heaven’s rule over election outcomes. In this race, there are no bad options. This should be your easiest decision of the day.

Though we encourage you to ground your heart in Bible-saturated content like what we’ve linked above, the most important response to this election (and others to come) is to pray. Join us in praying for our nation today:

Lord, we trust Your Word. You make nations great and You destroy them. You enlarge nations and you lead them away (Job 12:23). Lord, we pray that Your hand will be evident in today’s election, that Your people will vote according to Your Word and Your will. Above all, we ask that You send revival to our communities, our nation, our world. 

Amen.
