Prayer for An Election Year
Adapted from Center for Mission Election Prayers
O God of mercy, we ask You to bless our
nation in this time of great transition.
Inspire us, still our anxiety and guide us as we
participate in the upcoming elections.
We seek a government that upholds and protects human rights and justice.
We rejoice that we are citizens of Your kingdom.
We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters, one and equal in dignity.
With gratitude for the right to vote we ask for discernment to choose leaders who hear your Word, live you love and will lead us in the ways of Your truth. In Jesus’ name we pray.
AMEN
