First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.
(1 Timothy 2:1-2 ESV)
Ugly. That is the word I think if when I look at the condition of our current political primaries. (lots of other words follow right after that...) But what would it look like of all followers of Christ in our society took seriously our call to pray consistently, pointedly and sincerely for those in the thick of the process: candidates, delegates, movers and shakers behind the scenes, and ask for God to move in their lives in an undeniable way? That is not to say we should not vote, debate, investigate, and do other things. But how dare we leave out prayer. We would see something very different indeed.
