Dear Ones,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend! There were Viking shirts on in church yesterday and our pastor had a Packer tie and cap. It was an exciting game and a close win for the Vikings. Mark came for S.S. and church and for dinner before going back to the lake. Today I plan to go to Aldi’s and my exercise class and later serve at an Octoberfest party here.
Devotions by Judy’s heart
As we get closer in the election time the tension is rising in our country. It’s important that we seek God’s help and that we pray for one another and let His power flow through our lives as our voice is heard. I would like to share the Fourth prayer of Whitney Hopler with you as she writes it on Prayer for Justice and Fairness:

“Dear God, we pray for justice and fairness in all aspects of the election process. Let every vote be counted accurately and every voice be heard. Protect the integrity of our democratic system and make sure that the election is conducted with honesty and transparency.

Micah 6:8 urges us to: ‘act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ Help us to live out these principles in the election season. May we strive for justice not only in our elections but in all of our society. We pray for those in positions of power and responsibility to act with fairness and impartiality May they be guided by your righteousness

As Proverbs 14:34 points out: ‘Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.’ Let any attempts to undermine the democratic process be thwarted, so your justice will prevail through a fair process. God, please give us the strength to stand up against evil, to advocate for what is just and fair, and to work toward a society that reflects your kingdom values Thank you, our righteous God. Amen.”
Challenge for today: Pray this prayer morning and evening.
Blessings on your week and prayers and love, Judy
