An election day prayer

God's Mail Room

                                                                                               by Beth Richardson

I woke up in the night, worrying

And praying for my candidate to win.

In my heart it feels

Like certain doom

If the other team is elected.

Then I thought about

All the other worrying people

Awake in the night.

Praying as fervently

For their candidate to win

And mine to lose.

What does the Holy One do

With all these earnest, conflicting prayers?
