A Prayer for our Nation

11/2/2020

0 Comments

 
     On this day of great possibility and potential, please pray for our nation and people as we carry out our responsibility to vote.

     Loving God, creator of this world who is the source of our wisdom and understanding, watch over this nation during this time of election. Help us to see how our faith informs our principles and actions.

     We give thanks for the right to vote. Help us to hold this privilege and responsibility with the care and awareness it merits, realizing that our vote matters and that it is an act of faith.

     Guide us through this election as a nation, state, and community as we vote for people to do work on our behalf and on the behalf of our communities. Help us to vote for people and ballot initiatives that will better our community and our world so it may reflect the values Christ taught us.

     Help us create communities that will build your kingdom here on earth – communities that will protect the poor, stand up for the vulnerable, advocate for those who are not seen and heard, and listen to everyone’s voice.

     We pray for this nation that is deeply divided. May we come together for the common good and do as you have called us to do – to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you through creation.

     Help us act out of love, mercy and justice rather than out of arrogance or fear.

     Lord, continue to guide us as we work for the welfare of this world. We pray for places that are torn by violence, that they may know peace.

     We pray for communities who are struggling with inequality, unrest, and fear. May we all work toward reconciliation with one another and with God.

     Help us to listen in love, work together in peace, and collaborate with one another as we seek the betterment of our community and world.

     Lord God our Creator, guide us in truth and love, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

     Amen.
