In this big election week, with whatever outcome we had hoped for, we turn our hearts to meet God in prayer. He cares for your heart and all its fears, doubts, and hopes.

Heavenly Father,
You are the certainty in this uncertain world. You are holy, true, good, and everlasting. You are our Savior. You save and you are the King on the throne. We worship you.

As our good Shepherd who leads the sheep with tenderness and care, lead us forward in your love. May you guide our feet to carry the good news of Jesus, the One who is making all things right, everywhere we go and to everyone we meet. You know the whole plan and you hold this world in your hands. You are working, always.

We pray for all our elected leaders, that they may know and serve you, and do good. May you comfort those who mourn, may you press your call firmly onto our hearts, and may your love in us for our neighbors and our enemies be perfected. We will work to bring more of heaven onto earth - salt and light for your justice and righteousness, causing violence and oppression to flee. There is power in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
