Let us pray together each day for peace and unity, justice and equality in our nation. Let us be mindful that the right to vote is a sacred trust won by the relentless struggles of those who ran the relay race before us. Let us honor their legacy by voting our consciences and urging others to do the same.

Good and Gracious God:
We thank you for Your constant presence and love.
You are the Source of all being.
You are the wellspring of justice and peace,
the foundation of mercy and compassion.
We praise you for Your Glory!

We come to You this day in need and in hope. Guide us toward the Beloved Community that Jesus called the Kingdom of God on earth.

Give us the courage, the conviction, the compassion, the determination
to bring it forth in our country now.
O God, hear our cry and let our prayer rise like incense before You!

Rescue us from the ugly onslaught of white nationalism, systemic racism, and hate crimes. Protect us from the threat of the deadly Coronavirus, police violence and de-humanizing social policies.

Save us from the daily devastation caused by those in power and high offices who appeal to people’s basest instincts; who try to divide us, hurt us and threaten our democracy. In every way, they deny the sanctity of all human life - the lives that You created in Your Own image and likeness.

We cannot breathe!

O God, hear our cry and let our prayer rise like incense before You!
Intercede for us, O God, in this our time of desperate need!

Grant us wisdom and courage to confront these evils with the power of love, truth and our vote. Make us strong in our resolve and fearless in the face of adversity.
Give us hope in the midst of discouragement.
Heal our minds. Heal our bodies. Heal our hearts. Heal our nation.

O God, hear our cry and let our prayer rise like incense before You!
We ask this and all things in the Holy Name of Jesus, Amen
