NIGHT PRAYER: Wednesday 10/28

 

I voted today, Lord.

With a green pen marked Official Voting Pen,

I filled in a circle with green ink

and cast my vote for... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Well, you and I know who I voted for

and you know I voted even though neither ticket

had captured my heart's full support...

As prudently as I knew how, then, Lord,

I voted for what integrity I could discern,

for truth amid the lies,

for respect over reproach,

for facts over boiler plate,

for knowledge over rhetoric,

for achievable goals over empty promises,

for common sense ideology,

for wisdom over chicanery,

for values over prosperity

and for your word over ours...

 

I hope and pray my small green mark

will make a difference, Lord,

and that the candidate we elect

will make a difference, for the good,

for us and for our world...

 

Whether we're awake or asleep,

protect our nation, Lord,

that awake, we might keep watch for you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

 

Amen. 

 

(Tonight's music sings the wisdom I pray was mine

when I cast my vote today...)
