Today has the potential to be a day of anxiety, unrest, and fear. While many Christian thinkers and leaders have written on the election (and we have published quite a few articles on it as well), we wanted to offer this simple prayer to reflect, contemplate, hope, and provide comfort regardless of what political candidate wins.
Jesus Christ
Lord of Lords and Prince of Peace
Comfort us on this election day
Empower us with your Spirit to choose
Peace over pride
Hope over hatred
Forgiveness over fear
To love our neighbor not lust for their defeat
Remind us that your Kingdom exceeds our kingdoms
Your Will unbound by any party or platform
Issue or ideology
Despite the outcome may we pray together with you
“Your Kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.”
Amen
