Let us pray for Colorado’s Weld County County Council (Rupert Parchment, Tonya L. Van Beber, Nancy Teksten, James Welch, Elijah Hatch). We pray that they would successfully take part in representing 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 council member as one who will give account to God, truly and sincerely professing 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 they would come know and cherish the Word of the Lord, and perform their office more and more according to the righteous Standard of the Word, upholding justice, and using their office for the glory of God and the good of the people. (2 Samuel 23.1-7)
3. Pray that they would recognize their position as a ministers of God for good, that they would promote good according to God’s Word as they determine salaries for elected county officials, fill vacancies on the Board of County Commissioners and on the Weld County Council, oversee and manage elected officials and their moral and ethical behavior, integrity and uprightness in office, and consider request for mill levies in Weld County. That they might hold to and reinforce the standards of morality and honesty as described in the Scripture and not according to the conventional wisdom of the world and society. (Romans 13.1-6, Deuteronomy 17.14-17)
4. Pray that they would not be swayed by prejudice, personal advantage, inattention to duty, past afflictions and troubles, favoring of friends, general immoral tendencies of the culture and social media, etc. in the administration of their office, but would be genuinely concerned for the standards of morality, fairness, and justice under God. (Ecclesiastes 5.8)
5. Pray for wisdom for each council member that they would not give heed to the cares of this world, greed, unjust gain, and the lusts of other things would not rise up and choke out the influence of the Word of God in hi life, making it unfruitful, but that keeping our her fixed on honesty, integrity, and truthfulness, that they might bear much fruit. (Mark 4.18-19; John 15.1-8)
6. Pray for further wisdom of each council member that they would seek to execute a godly office with humility, integrity, and honor as the district attorney 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 support and defend the residents of the county with honor and integrity according to the Word of God. (Proverbs 3:27, 20.14, James 2:9)
