If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

Today’s Reflection

Today’s Prayer

Heavenly Father, as we approach the eve of Election Day, we turn to Your Word in Romans 12:18, which teaches us, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone,” and in Ephesians 4:3, which calls us to “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Lord, as we prepare our hearts for these final hours before Election Day, help us maintain perspective and peace. Guide us in reviewing our voting decisions thoughtfully while ››› continue prayer here ››› remaining grounded in Your unchanging truth and love.

We pray for wisdom in these last moments of consideration. Help those still studying issues to find clarity, and grant peace to those who have already made their decisions. May our final preparations be marked by thoughtful reflection rather than anxiety or fear.

Father, guide our interactions today, especially with those who may hold different views. Help us maintain relationships even as election excitement builds. Let our conversations be seasoned with grace, our social media posts reflect wisdom, and our attitudes demonstrate respect for all.

Grant us discernment as we prepare for November 5th. Help us plan our voting schedule, gather necessary materials, and make arrangements that will allow us to participate fully in this civic duty. May our preparation be thorough but not anxious, confident but not arrogant.

Lord, remind us that regardless of this week’s outcomes, You remain sovereign. Help us hold our political preferences loosely while holding firmly to our faith in You. Guide us in being agents of peace as excitement and tensions rise around us.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
