It is November 6, 2024, the day after Donald Trump secured another presidential term. Here is a three-part prayer that covers us all today.
For our friends who are grieving the results of last night’s election or fearing what legislation might come next, may God grant peace in abundance. May he show himself a strong comforter and faithful father today.
For our friends who are celebrating the results of last night’s election, may God grant perspective to see those who are hurting and have compassion upon them. May they have humility and grace in victory today remembering that love matters infinitely more than politics.
And for all of us, may we give thanks that we had the opportunity to vote in what seems to have been a free and fair election without persecution. That is not true in so much of the world, and not something to be taken for granted. Most important of all, may we now refocus ourselves on the critical task ahead: sacrificially loving and serving others, especially the hurting and vulnerable, the poor and oppressed. This is our calling no matter who is in office.
