Prayer doesn’t stop after an election; it’s needed now more than ever in this new season.
Today’s prayer in our Prayers for Our Political Community series is by @kaitlynschiess —writer, author, and doctoral student at Duke Divinity School—and invites us to seek truth, wisdom, and integrity for ourselves and our leaders.

This election season, we share a prayer from Dr. Luke B. Bobo, asking God to give our leaders wisdom and grace in their work. As we participate in politics, let’s reflect Christ’s love—avoiding division and slander, and embracing our call to be people of grace. “To live a life worthy of the calling we have received” (Eph. 4:1).
Luke Bobo is the Director/Assistant Professor of Bioethics at Kansas City University and has served in various academic and ministry roles. He has authored/co-authored several books on faith and work, including Discipleship With Monday in Mind and Whatever You Do: Six Foundations for an Integrated Life.

In a time of polarization, Peter's words remind us to keep Christ at the center. As citizens of God’s Kingdom first, we are called to reflect hope, not just in earthly politics, but in something far greater. Let’s engage with politics with gentleness and respect, always ready to share the reason for the hope others see in us.
