"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."

~ Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)

Today’s Reflection

Today’s Prayer

Gracious Father, as we stand just two days before Election Day, we remember Your words in Hebrews 10:24-25: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Lord, help us maintain the strength of our community bonds even as election tensions rise. Guide us in preserving friendships and neighborhood connections despite political differences. Show us how to ››› continue prayer here ››› keep our hearts open to one another, remembering that our shared community life transcends our voting choices.

Father, we pray for our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and places of worship during these final days of campaigning. Where election season has created strain between neighbors, help us maintain perspective and continue in kindness. Give us wisdom to discuss differences respectfully while preserving relationships.

Spirit of unity, help us remember that our daily lives together matter more than our political disagreements. Guide us in maintaining the simple bonds of community—shared meals, children’s friendships, neighbor helping neighbor—even as election excitement builds.

Lord, bless our efforts to keep local connections strong through this electoral season. May our community gatherings remain places of friendship rather than division. Let our churches and community centers continue as spaces of welcome for all.

Grant us the wisdom to value relationships above political victory. Help us remember that after Election Day, we will still be neighbors, still be family, still be community. Guide us in maintaining bonds that will support us through and beyond this political moment.

In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
