Praying for the new American president

Morning: Psalms 93, 96; I Corinthians 14:1-12

Evening: Psalm 34; Ezra 10:1-17; Matthew 20:1-16

Today, the world feels different because of the American election result ... understandable, given the immense power that rests in the hands of the American president. Jesus’s parable - labourers in a vineyard - demonstrates how different is our sense of justice from God’s. When we decide on a just course of action, we humans do much better when we share our deliberations with others. Today, pray that a spirit of collaboration and partnership may mark the new American presidency. Praying this may help us, also, to listen to other people’s wisdom as we ourselves try to live justly.
