Prayer by SACLI for local government elections in SA

Read the prayer below:

“Almighty and Loving God.
As the cloud of witnesses watches over us on 1 November.
As people exercise their democratic right to vote.
As some decide to not exercise their responsibility.
As people and parties compete against each other.
As emotions run high.
As election officials and others do their duties.
As politicians express words that may inflame and divide.
We offer these elections to you.
Knowing that you can take it, break it and bless it.
And form a new communion and communities
Out of our brokenness. Amen.”

The SACLI was started in 2013 “to be the voice of hope and prophecy in and for South Africa” and to be “a bridge in the church”.
