A Prayer before Voting

Here I am, ready with my vote
to seek peace for this country, as it's written:
"And you will seek peace for the city where I send you,
and you will pray for her sake to YHWH,
for through her peace you will have peace."

May it be Your will that my vote will be accounted as if I fulfilled
this verse in all its meaning, and just as I participated in elections
today so may I merit doing good deeds
and healing the world with
all my actions.

May it be good in Your eyes,
YHWH my God and God of my forebears,
that you give a heart of wisdom
to those whom we choose today
and give to us and to all the people of this country
the strength and will to pursue righteousness
and to seek peace as one unity;

And may you raise up a government for us
for the sake of good and blessing
to cause to grow throughout the world
lives of goodness and of peace
for us and for all your Godwrestling folk,
for all who live on earth,
and for Jerusalem --
may it become indeed the City of Peace,
the heritage of all the world.

"And may the pleasure of YHWH our God be on us,
and may the One establish the work of our hands for us,
may the work of our hands be established."
