Lord, please be in our midst as we come together as your body to lift up our country and our leaders. Please protect our country from the division that challenges our ability to live lives pleasing to you. Defend the vulnerable and voiceless, and bring justice to those who have suffered injustice.
Yes, we are ever grateful that former President Trump’s life was spared through God’s protection. The attack was unspeakable.
We mourn with the family of the young father who was killed while protecting his young family- simply attending a rally to support one of our Presidential candidates.
We pray for those who were physically wounded, as well as for all who experienced the horrific trauma while simply exercising their political rights.
We pray for God’s peace across the land with hope that a strong sense of unity and respect for all mankind will emerge.
We pray that through all of God’s infinite wisdom, we can see that we are better and stronger together, absent violence of any kind.
Amen.
