Prayer for Elections

Prayer for the Week of November 7, 2022 - A Prayer for Elections

Lover of Justice and Equity, Compassion and Care invite us to conduct free and fair, equitable and just elections. May we put aside bullying and threats of violence, pause and cease plans to allow people to vote, to tabulate the vote, to report on the vote, to support voting, and to support those waiting in lines to vote. May we show up to bring peace and justice, not insurrection and treason, and may we practice respect for one another. And when the voting is over, may we return to work figuring out how to make this world a better place, with quality of life for each and for all, with thriving, diverse communities, adapting to our changing world with care, trust in one another, and attentive to the work of amends, reconciliation, and nurturing relationships. Amen.
