Jim Mehlhaff (R)

Father, I lift up Senator Jim Mehlhaff. May he seek your wisdom as he serves South Dakota. 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.

Lord God of heaven, I pray that Senator Jim Mehlhaff 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 Senator Mehlhaff'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 Senator Mehlhaff 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.

Mighty God, I call forth Senator Mehlhaff as an end time warrior in Your army. Guide him, Lord, as you guide a stream. I pray that Jim and his family are saved, healed, and delivered in Jesus' Mighty Name
