Good Morning, God,
This morning we now know who the specific candidates will be for the specific offices by party affiliation. For some, this day will be a satisfying day. For others, this day will be a day of shock and sadness. The same can be said about us voters, Lord. For some of us there is much hope; for others of us there is frustration. We know, though, that you are in the midst of all of us and celebrate with those who celebrate and mourn with those who mourn. We thank you for this, Lord.
Lord, we are grateful that you put into the hearts of men and women that desire to serve others. We remember your words in Scripture that tell us to pray for those in authority over us, for you have placed them there. It is good for us to be reminded of this, Lord, because in our system of government you work through men and women voters to carry out electing those who serve us.
So, Lord, be with the candidates as they campaign and give “we the people” the gift of wisdom to choose those who would govern us in the manner that you design.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
