Gracious God,

You have called us to be Salt and Light to this world.  Forgive us when we hide our lights or don't act in a 'salt' manner in the world.  Forgive our inaction when we could have been praying for our nation, engaged in training up civic leaders, voting, and being Salt and Light in our nation's governance.  When we feel our efforts are in vain - that there's nothing we can do to improve the situation - remind us that a little yeast can make a huge bread loaf.  Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of these days.

In the power of the risen Christ I pray,
Amen

Pray.  Research.  Pray.  Vote.
