Pray. Research. Pray. Vote.

Psalm 146: 3-5

Do not put your trust in princes,
    in human beings, who cannot save.
⁴ When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
    on that very day their plans come to nothing.
⁵ Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose hope is in the Lord their God.



God,

As we prepare to finalize the voting tomorrow, we pray that…
– you would continue to pour out your Spirit on this electorate
–  your wisdom would influence our choices of candidates for each office
– you would cause to be elected men and women after your own heart who seek your wisdom in their governing decisions
– there would be no voter fraud, no voter intimidation, and that each valid vote would be accurately counted
–  you would prevent any evil that seeks to stir up dissension, riots, or worse and that your peace would prevail
–  accurate election results – especially for the office of President – would be known by Wednesday morning
– you would knit together this nation – that we would be one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all
– you would heal wounds in your Church which are a result of this strife and anger in our political system
– you would help us live out our calling to be one with you as you are one with the Father
– you would help us live as people whose hope is not in any human being, but in only you – our Lord God

In the powerful name of Jesus Christ we pray.  
Amen and Amen.
