As local and national candidates intensify their efforts to put their ideas and goals before the public, citizens in the US and any other country preparing to vote can take this opportunity to pray for their nation and also for the people running for public office. In this live chat, we’ll talk about how to cut through the rhetoric and discern the spiritual issues that need our prayers and how spirituality can offset personal feelings or attachments to a candidate or party. We’ll also explore how to resist cynicism and apathy, and to genuinely seek the prosperity of communities and nations.
