As I write just after midnight on Monday, November 2, developments in Michigan on Sunday have brought a new prayer need into focus. Democratic U.S. Congresswoman Haley Stevens attended church with Republican U.S. Senate candidate and former Congressman Mike Rogers, endorsed him, and said she would vote for him.

That news made it abundantly clear to me that the extra prayer emphasis should be on genuinely undecided voters, especially in Michigan. These voters often have genuine questions about candidates after seeing television commercials or late-arriving mailers. I ran into someone in my Sunday school class who needed help understanding a negative ad they had seen here in Louisiana.

I hope and pray Congresswoman Stevens’ endorsement helps elect Republicans in Michigan and beyond. It brings to mind Georgia Democratic U.S. Senator Zell Miller’s support for President George W. Bush in 2004.

Bonus prayer — November 2–3: Undecided Voters. Pray especially for voters who are still undecided and trying to sort through conflicting claims about candidates. Pray that their questions are answered honestly and that they have the wisdom and discernment to make informed decisions as they cast their ballots.

Let me be clear: this new emphasis doesn’t change the daily prayers in the Midterm Prayer Guide. And for those of us in Louisiana who are used to Saturday elections, remember that Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.

November 2, 2026 — The Day Before Election Day: Tomorrow is Election Day, so I encourage you to pray for the Republicans you have either already voted for or will vote for tomorrow. As for those of us who live in Louisiana, please pray for Congresswoman Julia Letlow‘s success in becoming our next U.S. Senator. After you’re done praying, it’s okay to remind a few folks to go vote tomorrow.

November 3, 2026 — Election Day: It’s Election Day, so if you haven’t voted, go vote. While you should pray for Republican voters to turn out in droves, it’s also perfectly fine to remind your friends and family to go vote Republican today as well.

Thank You for Joining This Journey of Prayer

I’m very thankful that some of you probably prayed more than I did for Michigan and Ohio last week, as we requested in the bonus prayers of the Midterm Prayer Guide.

I want to thank everyone who has been on this journey of prayer. I think it’s appropriate to close with a passage of Scripture I have heard my friend, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, talk about lately.

Psalm 90:17 (NIV):

May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.
