With the election only 5 days away, Lord,
we pray for your grace and your help...
Don't let our passion for victory
defeat our respect for one another...
Don't let our moral stands
knock down what we hold in common...
Don't let our focused views
blind us to deeper truths...
Don't let our political ties
unravel our families and friendships...
Don't let zeal for our cause
excuse any hate in our hearts...
Don't let the election's outcome
justify malice or harm...
Don't let our ideas and opinions
lord it over our gospel and creed...
Don't let what we do in your name
betray our belief in your love...
Protect us, Lord, from hostility
and guard us from all that drives us apart
that together, we might keep watch for you
and in unity find the gift of your peace...
Amen.
