A Prayer for Our Election from Rev. Dick Weaver
Creator:
May we remember that the fears, as well as the hopes and dreams we have — as we join with other Americans in this election — are the same fears and hopes shared by people for many years.
Help us to have perspective and recognize that every generation feels as if theirs is the most important time on earth. And calm our anxiety that our needs and our hopes ought to be the center of your concern, as well. Yet, we are voting in a national election, one in which people of all points of the spectrum view as an important one. We are anxious. We pray that we may decide our vote prayerfully, that our votes will all be valued, and that those who win and those who lose in this election may respond gracefully, honestly, and fairly to the outcomes.
Give to those who have served, and those who will serve, a glimpse of what the future can be like if all your children seek and follow your guidance. Give to the newly-elected a desire to answer your call in their positions. And to serve you and us with justice, fairness, and love.
We pray this in Jesus name. Amen.
