Prayer for this Election Day

On this Election Day, I praise God for being in control. I pray to trust God with all my heart & to not rely on my own thinking & understanding. I pray to rejoice in all things; to lift up my concerns in prayer, in faith & with thanksgiving; to act in faith; to trust God with results; & to give God all glory, honor, thanks & praise. 

I don’t have to understand why friends support the candidate or party they support. And I don’t have to understand why God seems to be calling me to vote a different way. I choose to trust that God is in control & God is good & God is working for good. He wants me to act in faith & trust Him. I pray to be willing & able to do so. 

And I pray for this nation. I want to believe God is in control & working for good. I pray for the leaders & candidates & voters & election workers. I pray for unity & justice & peace & goodness & love to prevail. I know all good things are possible for & through God. I praise God for His faithfulness. I lift my prayers & praise in the name of His Son, my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

For all the saints …

I remember & am grateful for the saints who have shared the love of God with me. I’m grateful for livestreams that allowed me to worship & remember even though I woke up feeling sick. I’m grateful to feel better now. 

Reuniting & reminiscing

The key to a high school reunion is to just enjoy being there. Period.
