Today’s the day. Follow those VOTE signs to your polling place. And pray.
Me: Dear Lord, let my favorites win today.
God: Really?
Me: OK, God, your will be done. But please bless my guy–the one whose name is on that sign over there.
God: And what about that other sign?
Me: Not getting my vote, not getting my blessing.
God: Have you forgotten Matthew 5:43-45 (GNT)?
You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun to shine on bad and good people alike, and gives rain to those who do good and to those who do evil.
Me: I get it. Bless them all, Lord, the ones I vote for and the ones I don’t.
