Gracious Lord,
After months and months of ads, campaigning, and rhetoric, tomorrow we will go to the polls to vote for the leaders we believe will best serve and guide us. We pray for this day, tomorrow, for your wisdom and discernment. We pray for our nation and our leaders and ask that we will be guided by your truth and love. We pray for the days that will follow the election and pray that we may come together to serve you and care for the people of our communities. Guide us and show us your way today, tomorrow, and always. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
