With election day approaching, please enjoy this short liturgy reminding us to love our neighbors well. If you would like to share this with a church or group, see the PDF bundle on the Rabbit Room store.
If we are pleased with the results of
today’s election, let us yet in humility
remember that every earthly authority
must one day give way to your eternal rule—
so let us in grace love all our neighbors well.
Or, if we are disappointed, let us resist all
fear, anger, accusation, and bitterness,
but instead renew our trust in you—
and let us in grace love all our neighbors well.
Whatever the outcome of this election,
let our citizenship and our hope be rooted
first in your heavenly kingdom, that we might
live in exile here as winsome ambassadors of our
soon-returning King—
always in grace loving all our neighbors well.
