Let us pray for the Board of County Commissioners of Colorado’s Weld Country. There are 5 members of the board: Mike Freeman, Scott James, Lori Saine, Steve Moreno, and Perry Buck. We pray that they would successfully take part in leading this county according to justice, equity, wisdom, and righteousness as commanded in the Word of the Lord.

1. Pray for the true conversion of each commissioner that each would represent Weld County 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 commissioner 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 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 that each commissioner would not bind the consciences of God’s people, apart from the commands of God, and if they do so, that they would be brought to repentance, and if correction and repentance is refused, to be removed from their positions. (Galatians 2.1-10)
4. Pray for wisdom for each commissioner that they would execute a godly office with humility, integrity, and honor as representatives of Weld County, and that they would be given strength to oppose unjust laws from the state and federal government but that they would seek to govern the county with honor and integrity according to the Word of God. (Proverbs 3:27, 20.14, James 2:9)
5. Pray that Lord would keep the heart of each commissioner away from concerns of personal popularity, away from seeking the praise of men, 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 judgment 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 for each commissioner, as authorities of our county, that they would not hinder the public worship of the Lord but would consider Christian Churches worshipping within their bounds to be an adornment of their jurisdiction and would promote the worship of God in their lawful bounds. (Ezra 6.1-12)
