A Christian Prayer for US Election Day 2020

King of kings and Lord of lords,

today we choose people to lead knowing that no person, platform, or party perfectly portrays your peaceable kingdom, and knowing that leaders may lord their power over us.

Whomever we name, may we not surrender our names as your beloved children,

and may we not abdicate our responsibility to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with you.

Whomever is chosen, may we continue to shine light in this world by showing love to all people.

Throughout this day and in days, weeks, and years to come, may we remember our lives belong to a story more grand, one in which you promise to reign and rule in love, forever.

We pray this in the name of Jesus – the name above all names. Alleluia. Amen.
