This is a great post-election prayer. I love this words to the song The Prayer, sung here by Celine Dion an Josh Groban. Somehow in this gloaming hour as we wait and pray to see what tomorrow will bring, these words say it all: …Lead us to a place guide us with your grace give…

No Time to Fish
After the death of Jesus, the disciples went fishing. They had put their hope in Jesus as a political liberator, and it seemed He did not in fact liberate them.

Every Man’s Prayer
