At long last, we’ve made it to election day. Whew.
God of peace,
Be with our nation today.
Comfort people who are uneasy and nervous.
Sustain voters in long lines.
Give strength to election officials working at polling places.
Guide candidates and partisans to be honest, patient and respectful.
Soothe fears and bring us together in care and compassion.
Remind our people and the world of the values our nation aspires to: justice, equality, and freedom.
Fill us all with care and compassion for each other.
Bring safety and peace throughout the United States today and in the days that follow.
Amen.
