A Prayer for the Day of the Election

Almighty God, source of all grace and truth,
to whom we must account for all our decisions
and for all our powers and privileges,
Guide us in the election of our officials and representatives.
Give us grace to see ourselves, as individuals and as a people,
not as we want to see ourselves, but as you see us:
as we are and as you are calling us to be,
That we might see the candidates,
not as they want us to see them, but as you see them:
as they are and as you would call them to be.
Help us to discern your will for our choices,
that we may act and vote, not out of fear, nor out of anger,
nor out of any form of thoughtless bias or prejudice,
but out of your truth and love. Amen

Prayer for Voting and Election by Rev. Ken Howard. I love how it really just says it there...to vote without fear or anger or "bias or prejudice but out of your truth and love." This is a good mixture of state and church because it isn't choosing sides and telling people who to vote for but telling them to vote in truth and love.
