Thinking on the first line of this passage, and being an American, I'm sure many of you (Americans) will agree that we should be thankful if we just know who the president-elect is so we can pray for him!!!

Considering the current "plight" of America, I am using this passage to encourage my parish to pray for both candidates and everyone else while we are at it.
Let God Sort them Out (Based on a Bumper sticker)
Pray for republicans Pray very hardy, Pray for democrates And for those without a party
Pray for the vain ones Pray for the weak, Pray for the bold ones and for those Who seem quite meek.
Pray for the old for the young and in between Pray for the kind and even for the mean.
Pray for happy, Pray for the sad, Pray for the angry, the confused and the glad.
Pray for the healthy, Pray for the sick, Pray for the slow Pray for the quick
Pray for the quiet ones, Pray for the talkers, Pray for the runners, And the skippers and the walkers.
Pray for the big ones Pray for the small Pray for the hairy And for those who’s heads are bald.
Pray for the curly, Pray for the straight, Pray for the early And for those who’er always late.
Pray for the rude And for those who say please, Pray for the proud or those who pray on their knees.
Pray for Americans Pray for caucasians Pray for all colors, Indians, Africans, and Asians.
Pray for the atheletes Pray for the artists, Pray for the talented, The dullest and the smartest.
Pray for the hardy, Pray for the faint, Pray for the atheist, the sinner and the saint.
Pray for the he’s Pray for the she’s Pray for the picky And those who are pleased.
Pray for all people Even those who disagree With our standards and our morals or beliefs that we decree
Each one is God’s creation Judging’s not what we’re about Just pray and love them all And let God sort them out.
Feel free to use the poem
Full of Joy
