Washington Pictorial Prayer Directory

The Pictorial Prayer Directory is a visually rich, Scripture‑saturated tool that helps Christians intercede specifically and consistently for Washington State’s leaders and public square.^[1]

What the directory is

• A statewide prayer guide that combines portraits and positions of Washington’s senators, representatives, statewide executives, and judges with targeted prayers and Scripture.
• A discipleship resource that teaches believers how to pray biblically for government, rooting intercession in passages like 1 Timothy 2:1–4 and other key texts.

What’s inside

• Full pictorial directory pages for:
  • State Senators, State Representatives, statewide Executive officers, and State Supreme Court Justices, organized by office and district.
• A Washington Constitution primer (preamble and key articles) that highlights sovereignty of God, people’s political power, and reserved powers of initiative and referendum.
• A robust Prayer Guide section with:
  • General prayers for those in authority.
  • Themed prayers: wisdom, discernment, health and well‑being, courage, boldness, guidance in policy, servant leadership, humility, unity, compassion, faith and spiritual growth, and representation.
  • Each theme includes Scripture, a model prayer, and journaling space to personalize intercession for “adopted” elected officials.

Why churches and ministries need it

• Translates “pray for your leaders” from a vague idea into concrete, name‑and‑face intercession for every major state officeholder.
• Helps believers see civic engagement as spiritual work, connecting policy outcomes to changed hearts through consistent, gospel‑anchored prayer.
• Gives pastors and prayer leaders an instant framework for:
  • Statewide days of prayer.
  • Legislative sessions of focused intercession.
  • Small‑group or midweek prayer gatherings centered on public leaders.

How it works in practice

• Individuals and families:
  • “Adopt” one or more legislators or officials, write their names into the sample prayers, and use the journaling lines to track how they are praying and what God is doing.
• Churches and prayer groups:
  • Distribute directories to intercessors, prayer teams, and small groups and assign members, districts, or branches of government for regular coverage.
• Regional networks and ministries:
  • Use the directory as a unifying tool so that intercessors across Washington are praying the same Scriptures over the same leaders week after week.

Partnering with FPIW

• The directory is produced by the Family Policy Institute of Washington to support a larger mission of advancing and defending biblical values in the public square.
• Readers are invited to become “Defenders” through prayer, voting, engagement, and financial partnership (via FPIW and FPIW Action) to amplify a biblical voice in Olympia and across the state.

If you share the target audience (pastors, donors, general voters, or intercessors), a tailored version can be drafted for print, email, or web landing page.
