Good Morning, God,
Who's behind a picture, Lord? These days we are seeing the pictures of our political candidates everywhere. Then we can learn of the candidates through the stories we read and hear from and about them - and from the rumors and innuendos that are spread, often out of ignorance. Because of the grueling nature of this sort of campaign rhetoric, a candidate has to have a heart that cares deeply, but one that also is protected strongly.
A tough way we have to live, isn't it, Lord? We can't be "nice people" all the time because of the protective facades we must put up. And, when we "let down our guard," we are hurt.
Heavenly Father, who gave us hearts to love, minds to think, strength to work, eyes to see and ears to hear, may we really appreciate all those who feel led to lead us. May we look for the positives that qualify them, and not magnify the negatives beyond their true meanings. May we encourage one without demeaning the other.
May we remember that you are working through us to get your people elected - hopefully!
In Jesus, name, Amen.
