Dear God,

Even when I begin to utter nasty, mean-spirited words about political candidates who lie, manipulate, threaten, abuse and scare us, you come to me in a breath reminding me they too are your children, much beloved.  Although it is hard for me to accept, I know it to be true.  I whisper, "O Lord, these are your children, those you love just like me, please be with them."

I have to confess this challenge is a hard one.  I don't want to love my "enemy" but your gentle reminder is one I need to hear, we all need to hear.

Teach us

your way,

Holy God.

Lead us

to you.

Open us

to your voice

and your will,

we pray.

Love, Andrea
