A Prayer for the
Christian Voter
Creator
God, I listen for your voice in this time of violence and injustice.
Throughout the testaments old and new, the nations were and will be
judged for failing to be people who do your will. Your prophets
commanded kings and, today, we have the privilege of choosing those
who represent us. Help us to be the prophets of our days.
In the Scriptures, you spoke to us more than 2000 times of the
plight of the poor and the oppressed. Help us to overcome the sin of
wages that are not sufficient to sustain individuals and families.
Help us to work to create a society where we feed, heal, and welcome,
resisting the iniquity of judging who is deserving and who is not.
Help us to act as your children by lifting up the cause of peace.
As
I add my voice to those of my neighbors, as I make decisions in voting,
grant me wisdom as I consider who among those willing to serve best
represents the values you have revealed to us. And help me to remember
that it doesn't stop there.
In the name of Jesus
who calls us to justice, AMEN
