FWIW, I don't ask directly about who will win the election. It doesn't feel right. But I have been asking for guidance and clarification about the situation an awful lot these last few months. When I pray and open the book, I repeatedly come back to the books of Esther and Daniel: two stories with a lot in common: in both, you have God's people, the Israelites, living in exile in a foreign land. They've settled in awkwardly. The king is a sympathetic figure, but not everyone likes the Israelites. There are Israelites serving as faithful advisers to the king (Daniel, Mordecai), and the king's non-Israelite officials are murderously jealous and plot against them (in Esther, the eunuchs are mad at Mordecai because they plotted against the king, and he ratted them out). In both cases, the plan is to wipe out all the sojourning Israelites, because they don't follow the official religion and, while faithful servants, won't bow to the official gods. In both stories, our heroes prevail in the end, though things look pretty dire (Daniel chills with the lions, Artaxerxes has to rescind an order to murder all the Israelites). In Esther, the plotters end up hung on the scaffold they built for Mordecai. In Daniel, the plotters get chucked into the den of hungry lions after Daniel emerges unscathed.

So... things could get really dicey. But I think it'll be OK. The villains will be hoist on their own scaffolds, and fall into the traps they have laid for others.
