Today I pray for free and fair elections, voting rights, and for every voice to be represented equitably and without diminishment from partisan gerrymandering.

Today, I pray for the mission of global healthcare to be free of fringe politics, grounded in science, compassionate, and affordable. Empower us to stop the Ebola outbreak, and provide healing care to anyone, anywhere that needs it.

God of creation, give us the wisdom and discipline to address the long view of caring for our common home for future generations. Help us to be stewards of the air and water we will share with our posterity.

Today I pray for the people of Cuba. As political brinkmanship has the nation near collapse, may the people be saved from hunger, poverty, and suffering. Guide us away from preventable humanitarian crises around the globe.
