Voting as a sacred duty of all citizens wherever you live and Prayers for Election Day Eve




Dear Family of Love,

I'm sorry I was unable to prayer walk tonight due to a slight headache. We will pray in place instead. Tonight  I want to remind everyone regardless of your political leanings to vote in tomorrow's election. If you are from our neighboring country to the north in Canada please vote whenever you have the opportunity. Voting is not to be taken lightly. It is the most sacred duty of all citizens. We must treat it as a privilege and an honor. Whenever we vote we are using our words as I told my preschoolers to do when I taught many years ago.  Educate yourself on the issues, read your voting pamphlet, mark your sample ballot, and vote either at your local polling place or by mail. You have until 8:00 p.m. your time wherever that may be. Remember this

Voting = Y/our Voice(s )
No Voting =   Y/our voice(s) will not be heard
Y/our One Vote Matters just like you Matter!
Please Cast your Vote tomorrow and pray ahead of time and in the voting booth!

***********

Dear God we pray on this election day eve that we may be good citizens and take time to vote tomorrow.

May we view voting as a sacred privilege not to be squandered but prized.

May we educate ourselves on the various issues and pray for your guidance  in these matters and that we always remember the least of these and those who are on the margins especially for those whose rights may be violated and not made equal to that of our own.

We pray for our leaders at all levels of government.

We pray for our courts and the judiciary.

We pray for all governmental agencies at the local, state, and national level.

We pray for all new citizens who will be voting in their first election.

We pray that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you O God and may justice roll down.

We pray that our voices may be as we vote and may we remember the voiceless who can't vote.

We pray for all lawyers, paralegals, court clerks, bailiffs, sheriffs, justices of the peace, law enforcement personnel, judges, District Attorneys and all those who help administer justice in our land.

We pray for those who work in our prisons and jails. We pray for prison reform and those who are in prison.

We pray for compassionate immigration reform. 

We pray for peace in our country and and end to violence of any kind.

We pray for an end to human trafficking and abuse.

We pray for the protection of our most vulnerable family members.

We pray for peace in all troubled and war torn areas of Your World O God. Take time in this time of silence to call these places and situations to mind.

We pray for all those who have asked us to pray for them and others on their behalf. 

We add our own prayers, thanksgivings, celebrations, and remembrances _____

God we lift up these prayers to you in your Name. Amen.

Have a blessed night dear family! I love you, you Matter, and I'm blessed and give thanks that we are family!


Love, joy, peace, and blessings!

Sara
