Election Daily Prayer: Day 12 - Jack Hibbs

Main message: Christians are called to be active citizens—stewarding and defending the places God has given them— refusing apathy and participating practically in community and government. The easiest act of citizenship is voting, and the church should lead in mobilizing believers.

Key points:

• "Citizen" in Scripture means managing, governing, possessing, leading, and caring for your dwelling and environment.
• Christians should practice faithful stewardship of creation—caring for and beautifying their neighborhoods without idolizing the environment.
• Being a citizen requires action: speaking up against harm, defending your community, and not remaining idle (because idleness allows evil to fill the void).
• The speaker prayed for God to awaken believers, remove apathy, and galvanize passion for civic responsibility.
• Voting is a primary, simple duty of citizenship; the church should lead in encouraging participation.

Scriptures mentioned: Jeremiah 29:7
