Source of Life and Justice, on this day of decision and choice, we lift our hearts in hope and humility. | |
Help us remember the values that bind people together: the dignity of each soul, the responsibility we share for one another, and the dreams held for a future that is just, safe, and filled with compassion. As the prophet Micah taught, may we “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly” (Micah 6:8) with You and with each other. | |
May this day be a reflection of the highest values, a testament to courage and unity. | |
May each vote cast be a voice for those who long to be heard, a call for kindness and fairness that elevate the many over the few, and a choice for leaders who will uplift the vulnerable, honor the Earth, and listen to the whispers of wisdom in their own hearts. | |
As it is written in the Psalms, “May there be peace within your walls, and security within your towers” (Psalm 122:7). | |
We pray that the outcomes of this election bring healing to the nation, resilience to its spirit, and leadership that strives to honor all communities in their diversity and needs. | |
May people be strengthened to rebuild with compassion, to meet disagreement with respect, and to carry forward the work of building a place where freedom, peace, and justice flow like waters. | |
May today’s decisions and tomorrow’s leaders be blessed with vision, humility, and the courage to serve the common good. And may the path forward be one of unity, wisdom, and hope. |
