O God, we acknowledge you today as Lord, Not only of individuals, but also of nations.
We thank you that we can organize ourselves politically And declare our political loyalties In a way that preserves our absolute loyalty to you.
We thank you for your law, Which our Founders recognized As higher than any human law.
We thank you for the opportunity that elections provide us, Not only to vote, but to mobilize many others to vote, And to vote correctly.
Lord, we know that politics is not our salvation; We also know that part of serving you is to be politically active, And that your people are not a sect fleeing the world But rather a community of faith renewing the world.
Awaken Your people that the same hands lifted up to you in prayer Are the hands that fill out the ballot; That the same eyes that read your Word Are the eyes that read the names of the candidates, And that they do not cease to be Christians When they carry out their duty to vote.
Protect the integrity of our elections, And deliver us from deceit and fraud.
Awaken your people to the consequences of their vote, A vote to advance freedom and to thwart tyranny, To protect children from indoctrination in falsehood and sin, To defend marriage and family, To stop the killing of the unborn, the most vulnerable of all, And to save our nation from destruction.
Lord, we rejoice today That we are citizens of your kingdom. May that make us all the more committed To being faithful citizens on earth.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
