A Very Good Prayer for the Election

John Piper, minister of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in the Great White Northland of Minnesota and writer of the Desiring God blog, had an excellent prayer posted. This is an excerpt:

That we would know and live the meaning of

* being in the world, but not of it,
* doing politics as though not doing them,
* being on the earth, yet having our lives hidden with Christ in God,
* rendering to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s;

Whatever happens tomorrow, God will remain Sovereign in the life of the Christian. Let people see that you possess the “peace that passes understanding” and marvel, and be ready to give a testimony to those who ask why you’re not running around like Chicken Little.
