Love is a profound and encompassing force that transcends boundaries and unites us all. It means compassion and understanding, respect and the willingness to put the well-being of others alongside our own in the context of voting in the 2024 election.  We harness the power of love by making choice that reflect our deepest values and aspirations toward a just and equitable society. Voting with Love means considering the impact of our decisions on the most vulnerable among us, prioritizing policies that promote kindness, inclusivity and fairness. By casting our ballots with a heart full of Love we contribute to creating a world where every individual is valued, and collective well-being is at the forefront of our democracy. We can use Love as a prayer for our country and our elected leaders. By holding our leaders in a space of Love we can envision a future filled with harmony, understanding and mutual respect.  We pray for our leaders to be guided by wisdom and compassion, making decisions that uplift and unite us. Let our Love be the foundation of our actions and our intentions, creating ripples of positive change that reach every corner of our society. In this way, Love becomes not just a feeling anymore, but a powerful force for transformation and healing in our world. I invite us all to use the following affirmation for the next 90 days.

I affirm that my heart is filled with Love and Compassion as I cast my vote. I trust that my choices contribute to a just, inclusive and harmonious society. I hold our nation and its leaders in a space of Love, praying for wisdom, unity and peace. Together we create a world where every individual is valued, and Love guides the way in a world that works for all.

Helen Keller, American author, disabilities rights advocate, political activist and lecturer, who overcame the challenges of being both blind and deaf to become an inspiration to many said, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision.” As we all approach the upcoming election it’s crucial to remember the power of vision in shaping our future. Our collective vision determines the direction of our community, state and country and what direction it will take. By casting our votes, we contribute to the realization of a world that reflects our highest ideals. Let’s use this opportunity to affirm what we truly want to see in the world and make our voices heard.

I invite you to repeat after me, “I am committed to a clear and positive vision for the future. With each vote I cast, I contribute to the manifestation of this vision, empowering my community to thrive and grow. My vision is strong. My voice is powerful, and my actions create lasting impact. I choose to participate fully in the democratic process, knowing that my vision is a vital part of the collective future that we are all building together.”

Rev Dr. Ernest Holmes

Believing in the Divine destiny of the United States of America and in the preservation of liberty, security, and self-expression, I offer this, my prayer for my country:

I know that Divine Intelligence governs the destiny of the United States of America, directing the thought and the activity of all who guide its affairs.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are the gifts of freedom, and are the Divine heritage of everyone in this country.

I know that success, prosperity, and happiness are now operating in the affairs of every individual in this country.

I know that Divine guidance enlightens the collective mind of the people of this country, causing it to know that economic security may come to all without the loss of either personal freedom or individual self-expression.

I know that no one can believe or be led to believe that freedom must be surrendered in order to insure economic security for all.

The All-Knowing Mind of God contains the answer to every problem which confronts this country.

I know that every leader in this country is now directed to this All-Knowing Mind and has the knowledge of a complete solution to every problem, and each is compelled to act upon this knowledge to the end that abundance, security, and peace shall come to all.

And I know that this spiritual democracy shall endure, guaranteeing to everyone in this country personal liberty, happiness, and self-expression.

And so it is. Amen.
