O Lord,
Please pierce the heart of those who would use you,
who would use the image of your love for us
as a political statement of their determination
to act in sin.
Pierce their hearts
with the reality of their wrongdoing,
Claiming that you are there to tell us our sins are ok,
and may they realize the enormity of the wrong they do
and return in penance.
O Lord,
help us,
We who love you,
And know that your word was not given lightly,
that the cost you were willing to pay for our salvation
was high,
and that leading our brothers and sisters astray
in the name of political correctness,
of justification for the sins you condemned
is a wrong that needs our eyes open to see.
Help us to be willing to stand up and say,
This is wrong,
the wisdom to know how to act,
and the joy of being your witness.
Lead us to help those this election day
to see through the veils of the enemy,
and guide those around us to the Truth you give,
and that doing the duty of good citizens,
we may know that in our voting,
we have done our part to be light and salt and leaven
in this dark world
for the glory of your name.
Amen.
Lord, into your hands do we commend our country during this time of election. Be with those who vote, be with those who work the polling stations, be with those who count the votes, certify the elections, and all who are involved with the process. Lord, we pray that in our choosing, we may reflect your choice and that our country be in your hands, now and forever, Amen.
