Church of England releases general election prayer

by Hannah Tooley

The prayer focuses on the gift of living in a democratic society and the responsibility that comes with choice.

The Church of England prayer says: "Lord, we give thanks for the privileges and responsibilities of living in a
democratic society.

"Give us wisdom to play our part at election time, that, through the exercise of each vote, your Kingdom may come closer.

"Protect us from the sins of despair and cynicism, guard us against the idols of false utopias and strengthen us to make politics a noble calling that serves the common good of all.

"We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord."

On Wednesday political leaders travelled around the country in a final push to rally support for their parties.

Polling stations across the UK are open from 7am until 10pm on Thursday 7th May.
