Post-election Prayer

God, thank you 

for the right 

and responsibility 

to vote. 

Thank you for volunteers 

who man the polls. 

Thank you for poll watchers 

who try to keep the process honest. 

Thank you for all who exercise,

and for all who worked 

and fought 

and died 

to protect and preserve,

this freedom for all. 

You change times and seasons; 

you depose kings and raise up others.

You give wisdom to the wise 

and knowledge to the discerning.

You reveal deep and hidden things;

you know what lies in darkness,

and light dwells with you. 

Praise be to your name, God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

(last lines based on Daniel 2:20-22)
