Choose
It is Election Day in the United States; today we will choose the ones who will serve as our leaders for the next few years.
Help us, O God, to choose wisely.
There is a sense in which we have no choice as to who our true and ultimate ruler is; you are, after all, O God, the only God whether or not we acknowledge that fact.
Yet you in your grace give us freedom to choose whether or not we will acknowledge you, whether or not we will love you, and whether or not we will serve you.
You give us the terrible freedom to choose between gain and loss, between peace and chaos, and between life and death.
Help us, O God, to choose wisely.
Amen.
