Folks, we need to pray for our country.

We've likely got a rough ride ahead.

I'm not going to suggest a specific prayer or even a specific outcome.
Just that we have the strength and will to deal with whatever comes our way, individually and as a nation, without losing our way in anger or hopelessness.
Find support in your church or place of worship and try to support and build each other up.

I pray daily for strength and wisdom.
Those virtues seem ever more important as we see the incoming administration, known for holding values contrary to those that have served humanity well over the centuries.
With strength, we will not be pulled down in anger or defeat, but go about our lives in serenity, turning off as necessary the pervading noise around us.
