VOTE YOUR VALUES
We put our faith into action by speaking up on important decisions that affect our communities. This means showing up in the streets, at civic meetings, and at the ballot box.
A Prayer for Election Season
Spirit of Life and of Love, God known by many names and beyond all naming,
Move us out of despair and into action.
Touch our hearts and minds with the truths that we are born beloved and worthy,
and that we are all connected.
Show us how to embody these truths with all our words and deeds,
day by day by day.
In this election year, infuse our weary souls
with the hope that action for the good will bring.
May we move into this season
with the clarity and determination
that every vote matters.
Amen. Shalom. Salaam. And Blessed Be.
