Day Forty: For God's Perfect and Loving to Be Accomplished in This Year's Elections

Going a little farther, He fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will."
--Matthew 26:29

Sovereign God, Your plans are perfect and Your ways are right and just.  You put Your plans in place and we see the beauty of all You have designed.  We trust in Your perfect will, even when it does not make sense to us.

O Lord, bring about Your perfect will in our nation through these elections, we pray.  Do just as You intend and give us faith and understanding to relinquish our wills to Yours, just as Your Son Jesus did when He surrendered His life for our sin.  We thank You for Your goodness, and for Your kindness to us and our nation.  In Your name,  Amen.
