An election day prayer

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

— St. Teresa of Avila

This is true regardless of how the election turns out. I know this is a message I must be reminded of to keep from falling into a nervous tension awaiting results.  Regardless who wins we are still called to be saints and repentance and overcoming our own sins is a daily shovel-ready job.
