Prayer for the Sunday before the Election

By Glenn Packiam

Almighty God, 

You are the sovereign over all nations 

Kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, 

But your name stands above them all. 

As we approach election day in the United States of America, 

Keep our eyes fixed on you. 

Help us to see what John saw in Revelation: 

Your throne is at the center of the universe 

Beside the throne stands the lamb who was slain. 

Jesus, your loving and sacrificial death 

Is the victory that overcame evil. 

Your resurrection is a reason we have hope

Your life beyond death, 

For new creation coming, 

And for the restoration of all things. 

We pray for your rule to arrive on earth as it is in heaven. 

We pray for your will to be done in the world 

We pray for the church in America to reflect the kingdom of God in all that we do and say 

Help us to be SALT:

Preserving what is good in the world around us 

And prevent preventing the rotten and wickedness 

Help us to be the LIGHT:

Putting your goodness, righteousness, and justice on display in the world 

Use our actions and our agency, 

Our vote votes and our voice  

For the good of our neighbors 

And for the glory of God. 

No matter the outcome of this election, tell us, your people, with your peace. 

Remind us of our mission in the world 

Keep us faithful to our call, 

Joyful in your service. 

Until that great day when every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the Father, and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our God and of His Messiah, and He shall reign forever and ever   

Amen 

May the god of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with Hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
