Lord of nations, You use elections as a way of guiding events in our world and providing for Your people. Grant that our election day may be calm and upright. May elected officials be filled with a sense of awe and responsibility as they strive to help and protect the citizens in their care. May citizens live in respect for one another and honor those who are elected so that we might live together in peace. Amen.
