Jim Halverson (R)

Lord, God, I pray that Jim Halverson, South Dakota Representative, would hunger and thirst for righteousness and so pursue it in all his ways. Lord, please remove any blinders that may hinder Rep. Donalds from seeing or taking the path You have laid out for him. Grant him discernment and wisdom from above. Correct errant thoughts, plans or actions. May he look, not to the right or to the left, but be truly focused on You, Lord. As he follows Your instruction and guidance, provide for and protect him and all that concerns him. Make him a godly leader for this time as he leans on You. In the name and authority of the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen

Proverbs 13:6 KJV [6] Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: But wickedness overthroweth the sinner. Proverbs 16:8 KJV [8] Better is a little with righteousness Than great revenues without right. James 5:16 KJV [16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Psalm 91:1-16 KJV [1] He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [2] I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. [3] Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. [4] He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [5] Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [6] Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [7] A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. [8] Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked. [9] Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, Even the most High, thy habitation; [10] There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. [11] For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. [12] They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. [13] Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [14] Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. [15] He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him, And shew him my salvation.

Lord God, thank You for Jim Halverson. Father, I pray he would be the godly leader You desire him to be. The voice of Truth and Your vote of mercy when mercy is due, Your vote of righteousness at all times, and justice when justice is due. Be glorified in all he says and does; may he help lead government in and for South Dakota and the Nation to greater and greater levels of godliness. And above all we thank You that You alone see when such a leader needs replaced. So in him let his life be a reflection of the Christ or may he be replaced by someone who will. In the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.
