A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, November 9th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, our election day is over until next year. We have winners, and we have losers. We have some ballot measures that some thought were good ideas and some thought were bad ideas. All of us, thought, have had the opportuity to express our opinions; some did and some didn't.
However, Lord, now comes the really true tests: Can we agree to disagree agreeably? You have told us, Lord, what we are to do - "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with you." The real question is can we get on with doing these things, or will we waste time grousing about this or that and not getting anything done for you and/or our neighbors?
Lord, the beauty of our system down here is that every person can have his or her say. But, along with this comes the caveat that we then work with what and whom is decided. Lord, may we be grcious winners and losers now and pull together for the best life on earth has to offer!
In Jesus' name, amen.
