A Prayer Before the Election
God of long days and restless nights, of hard fought contests, fraught silences and frayed nerves.
Exhausted from a campaign rife with ugliness, we urge you to help us see the beauty in one another.
Depleted from debates devoid of decorum, we implore you for the strength to restore common decency.
Weary from distortions and character assassination, we beg you to rescue our faith in our fellow citizens.
Shaken by threats of violence and intimidation, we ask your aid in remaining rational and resolute.
Troubled by vows to reject unfavorable results, we turn to you for guidance for responding to victory or defeat with dignity and grace.
Just as Abraham and Sarah ventured forth with courage, fortitude and faith, so, too, may we go forth undaunted by uncertainty and untroubled by the unknown.
May the wit and wisdom that carried us through tribulations past be with us now in the days and weeks ahead.
May this be our blessing, and let us say: Amen.
