Lord God, as the election approaches, we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country, and how the gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community.
We ask for eyes that are free from blindness so that we might see each other as siblings, one and equal in dignity, especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit, and poverty.
We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children, people oppressed because of race, creed, religion, gender, or sexual orientaion.
We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to Your Kingdom. We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who live in Your love and keep in the ways of truth, justice, and peace.
We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
