Good Morning, God
Only one month 'til elections, eh Lord? Such a privilege we have, to elect those who rule us, those who serve us. And to think, your word reminds us that you have a lot to do with those in authority over us; you put people in place to guide and direct us.
Lord, we often wonder about this, though. When the wrangling takes place, when there is corruption, when there is mudslinging, is this in your will? And, if a candidate professes to be led by you, to be following what he or she believes is his or her calling to stand for election to an office, we seem to negate this and say that religion has no place in politics. In addition to this, candidates and elected officials are worried to express their faith because of the fear that someone will quote "separation of Church and state; separation of Church and state" to them.
Lord, this election season, may the debates be decorous and the candidates be candid. Help us to elect your choice.
In Jesus name, Amen
