A Prayer for the Week Before Election Day

Holy God,

Guide us with your love as we cast our ballots in these uncertain times.

Lead us as we move forward on the path of justice, that everyone eligible to vote, will vote and have their ballot counted. We pray that our government will promote confidence in, and proof of, the security of our systems.

During these extremely divisive times, as people of faith, our moral responsibility is to speak and vote our values and truth, with God’s love as our guide. We seek systemic change from oppression and pray for equality for everyone.

We pray and vote for healthcare for all - to finding a cure for Covid-19 for everyone.

We pray and vote for the children in cages who have been separated from their families; that they may be reunited and safe from further harm.

We pray and vote for those who have been displaced by hurricanes, floods and fire due to the climate crisis; and to re-enact the laws that protect our environment.

We pray and vote for all generations and all families who have been affected by oppression and prejudice in all forms that they may find fairness in our justice system.

Let us vote with our hearts and minds dedicated to the truth and for those who will stand up and lead with courage and compassion for all.

God, with your love for absolutely everyone we pray there will be peace and justice here and in our world.

We place these and all things in Your loving hands.

Amen
