Prayers for the United States Representatives of Colorado

Let us pray for the United States Representatives of Colorado, Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Lauren Boebert, Ken Buck, Doug Lamborn, Jason Crow, and Ed Perlmutter, that they would successfully take part in representing this state according to justice, equity, wisdom, and righteousness as commanded in the Word of the Lord. 

  1. Pray for the true conversion of each Representative that each would represent the state of Colorado as one who will give account to God, truly and sincerely professing their allegiance to Him that their conversion and subsequent life is coupled with a desire for obedience and a growing knowledge of God’s will, such that their sincerity and love for Christ would shine through their actions, and be a worthy witness even in the face of persecution and political opposition. (Colossians 1.9-13, Psalm 2.10-12)
  2. Pray that each Representative would recognize their position as ministers of God for good, that they would promote good according to God’s Word, and discourage and punish evil, reward good and not evil but rather encourage and reinforce the standards of morality as described in the Scripture and not in the conventional wisdom of the world and society. (Romans 13.1-6, Deuteronomy 17.14-17)
  3. Pray for wisdom for each Representative that they would execute a godly office with humility, integrity, and honor as representatives of the state of Colorado, and that in all their business dealings, they would deal fairly,  treat all parties fairly, and not elevate, diminish, or give preferential treatment to any based upon race or financial condition. (Proverbs 3:27, 20.14, James 2:9)
  4. Pray that each Representative would seek to glorify God as they work to strengthen the agricultural economy, strives to expand access for cleaner energy, investigates options to improve the state economic and employment conditions, and that they might equally and fairly represent both rural and urban Colorado. (Job 31.9-11)
  5. Pray that Lord would keep the heart of each Representative away from the affections of the world, away from evil, away from bribery, away from divisive and partisan politics, away from ungodly and wicked social policies, and towards righteous judgement as set forth in Scripture and that they would seek only the praise that comes from the Lord and that he might use the Bible as the only reference for good as defined by God. (Deuteronomy 16:19, Leviticus 19:15, 1 Timothy 4.1-8)
  6. Pray that the Lord would keep and protect each Representative’s family, especially during their long absences while away in the nation’s capital.
