Before the Election Prayer
September 13, 2021
Almighty God, we need your presence in our land during this election time.
Guide the candidates to campaign fairly and present their viewpoints honestly.
Guide the voters as they listen and assess the positions of the different parties.
Jesus, you cared for those who were poor, physically challenged, social outcasts.
Walk with us into the voting booth and help us make a wise decision,
taking into account not only our own needs, but the needs of others.
Inspire many to vote, so the will of the people can be heard.
I am a Mennonite pastor currently teaching theology at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. I’ve served congregations in Ontario and most recently, Alberta.
