Prayer and Contemplation for the Election Season
Grasping for Much-Needed Grace: Twenty Days of Nonpartisan Prayer in a Polarized Political Season
At a time when our nation and society are deeply divided - so much so that democracy itself seems under threat - the Vermont Conference of the United Church of Christ invites you to a time of fervent prayer. For the 20 days preceding the 2020 presidential election, we urge you to join in this intensive prayer initiative as we daily petition God for wisdom, patience, courage, healing and peace. We will be providing a “prayer prompt” or daily devotion for each day of this twenty day undertaking. Feel free to share these devotionals with others and encourage others to join in this time of prayer. We need it.
Click on the link for each daily entry listed below to be taken to the devotional/prayer prompt for that day. If you would prefer to access these devotionals in week-long compilations, you will find links to those weekly compilations below as well.
