God of the ages, always renewing, we come before you with emotions running high—righteous anger, yes; fear of the unknown, certainly. The road ahead feels uncertain, and the task of building a better world can overwhelm us. Yet, we trust that even in our differences, you call us to work together for good. In this moment, remind us not to be voices of despair, but messengers of hope, bearing witness to your justice and compassion in the public square. May this election move us toward deeper understanding, revealing who we are as your children and what we are called to become. Amen.
