In the four weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election, this guide will provide a topic and Scripture to pray through on each Tuesday, from October 18 to November 8.

Today’s political climate is filled with hate, racism, and bigotry towards various cultural, ethnic, and social minority groups. Christians should be alarmed at such rhetoric and take seriously the notion that elected officials can, will, and do oppress people based on their religion, beliefs, race, and cultural identity.

Our faith shouldn’t be co-opted by partisan politics. Our hope shouldn’t replace wisdom and prudence.
