A Prayer for (The Day After) Election Day

If we are pleased with the results of today’s election, let us yet in humility remember that every earthly authority must one day give way to your eternal rule—so let us in grace love all our neighbors well.

Or, if we are disappointed, let us resist all fear, anger, accusation, and bitterness, but instead renew our trust in you—and let us in grace love all our neighbors well.

Whatever the outcome of this election, let our citizenship and our hope be rooted first in your heavenly kingdom, that we might live in exile here as winsome ambassadors of our soon-returning King—always in grace loving all our neighbors well.
