Today is Election Day, so pray and vote

The United States is one of the best countries around in the freedom it provides. Here is an appropriate prayer for today ...

God of life and wisdom another election day is today. Such will use the freedom that has been bought for us by sacrifice. Forgive us for those times when we do not appreciate our freedoms. Give our nation your wisdom this day so that our decisions will be based on the ethical values each candidate represents. Help us, Lord God, to move out of our comfort zones into the risk-filled political world. As we vote, as much as is possible, aid us to be your representatives. And take the one who wins election to just do your will of love, justice and service. Representing Jesus Christ I (we) pray. Amen.
