For a U.S. election day, the author offers three prayers from the Book of Common Prayer as fitting prayers for Christians. He frames them as prayers for the nation's freedom, peace, justice, and forbearance under God's will, and for peace that requires wisdom and leads to God-like love. He also asks that candidates and winners serve all people rather than one party, ministering with wisdom, patience, and courage to the suffering, friendless, and needy.
