It was quite the experience to have scales fall from my eyes and see "my" candidate and "my" party looking as odious as the opposition has long portrayed them. Surely we need to pray.
Quote:

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

(KJV)
It doesn't get much simpler than that. Lord Jesus, intercede for this land, and this people. For its leaders, and our decisions as they press hard upon us. Give us wisdom and discernment. We also pray for the Syrians, the Slavs, the Ethiopians and the Venezuelans. For every people, tribe and tongue. Lord Yeshua King of Israel, Son of David, have mercy on us all. You are sole mediator between God and man, and are Lord of all, God-blessed forever. Amen.
