Election Prayer

and King of all nations we beg you to look kindly upon our country and help us to wisely choose our new leaders. Inform our consciences and enlighten our judgment, that we my elect those who will mercifully uphold justice and strive to protect the least among us. Help us to discern which candidates will uphold both the letter and the spirit of the law. May our nation once again respect religious freedom, authentic marriage, the importance of family, and the value of every human life from conception to natural death. Heal the divisions, which wound our unity and help us to overlook political tensions and keep us from becoming a united force for good. May our great land, built on both personal responsibility and charity toward the less fortunate, always balance prosperity with care for the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the abandoned. May we elect honesty and trustworthy candidates who will always uphold the common good and protect our God-given rights. In concert with the great founders of our nation, may we confidently proclaim, “In God we trust.”

Amen. – Author unknown
