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.
Helps us to see what John saw in Revelation:
[Pause here, closing your eyes for a few seconds]
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 the reason we have hope
For life beyond death,
For new creation coming,
and for the restoration of all things.
[Pause here, closing your eyes for a few seconds]
For new creation coming,
and for the restoration of all things.
[Pause here, closing your eyes for a few seconds]
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.
[Take the hand of the person on either side of you]
Help us to be salt–
preserving what is good in the world around us and preventing the rot of sin and wickedness.
preserving what is good in the world around us and preventing the rot of sin and wickedness.
Help us to be light–
putting your goodness, righteousness, and justice on display in the world.
Use our actions and our agency, Our votes and our voice
For the good of our neighbors and for the glory of God.
No matter the outcome of this election, Fill us, your people, with your peace. Remind us of our mission in the world. Keep us faithful to our call, and 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
