Good Morning, God,
The headlines every day have something about our politics in them, Lord. Often, it is about keeping religion out of politics, lest we run afoul of the law and/or run afoul of "political correctness." But you nor the founders of our nation never planned that politics and religion would never meet. In fact, you planned it that our political leaders and the laws that govern us would grow out of our faith and be supported by our prayers. You even provided a covenant promise with us: "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land."
Lord, our land, our homeland, the nation in which we live needs your blessing. May we be strengthened to do our part, as you say we ought, and give thanks as you do heal our land. . . and our politics. May we be a part of the political process by praying as a result of our faith.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
