Thad Claggett (R)

Father, I lift up Representative Thad Claggett. May he seek your wisdom as he serves Ohio. May he not serve for money or power but in obedience to you. May he hunger and thirst for righteousness and walk in close fellowship with you through Jesus. Give him open eyes to see truth and protect him from the enemy.

I pray in agreement with prayer warriors engaged in spiritual warfare on behalf of Representative Dan Kildee. We lift him up, stand in the gap under the authority Jesus gives His disciples in Matthew 28:18-19, and pray in Jesus' name that he be surrounded by spirit-filled Christian disciples who are able to speak Your Word of Truth and Your values into his life. We pray in Jesus' name for the binding (Matthew 16:19) of satan's rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12) and for "the demolish(ing) of arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God," (2 Corinthians 10:5). We pray for the loosing (Matthew 16:19) of open eyes, listening ears and a soft heart that will enable Mr. Claggett to receive revelation of Your truth and values into his spirit. We pray that Thad Claggett is convicted to receive Your gift of salvation (John 3:16) and "take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ," (2 Cor. 10:5). We pray he be blessed with godly counsel and God-fearing advisors (Proverbs 24). In Jesus name, Amen.

Lord God of heaven, I pray that Representative Thad Claggett would be instructed by Your Spirit, led by Your Voice and directed by Your hand. May the words of his mouth and the meditations of his heart be pleasing to You, Lord. May the fruits of his labor bring You honor and work righteousness and blessing for those whom he is privileged to serve. Guide Representative Claggett's steps and guard his heart in Christ Jesus. Strengthen him in well-doing and keep him from sin. I pray this in the authority and power of Jesus Christ. Amen

Gracious Heavenly Father, may Rep. Claggett know that it is Your hand and Your sovereign purpose that is keeping him and sustaining him in his divine commission. (Ps 38:12-15) Keep him, and those who serve him, safe from the enemy's snares and free from the accuser's traps. (Ps 141:9-10) By Your great hand, Lord, deal with those who oppose righteousness and justice so that all will know it is You alone who is sovereign and true. (Ps 64:6-9) I pray that you would open his heart to hear and respond to the Gospel Message if he does not know you. I pray the prayer of King Solomon in I Kings on our leader. "Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that he may discern between good and evil." Pour out Your Spirit upon him. Shower him with your goodness and put a hedge of protection about him and his family. Protect him from the influence of the evil one and teach him to trust in you. Reveal to him by Your Spirit the marvelous truth of the Gospel. Give him discretion, foresight, and understanding in making decisions. Grant him a heart of compassion toward those he leads and serves. Help him, like Jesus to love righteousness and hate lawlessness. Help him to have the courage to do the right thing even when urged to do the wrong thing. In the Name above all names Jesus our Messiah. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for Rep. Thad Claggett. May he represent you well serving the people with integrity and honesty. Surround him with Godly counsel. Destroy every argument and pretense that sets itself up against the knowledge of you. Open his eyes to see clearly and give him wisdom. Amen!
