The Lesser Evil

I've once more come to the point where I just wish this election would be done.  I am a conscientious citizen, but the hype and irrelevance is just killing me.  I fear we are once more left voting for who can do the least damage as opposed to who can do the most good.  There is nothing in either candidate that makes me say 'Wow, this man can make a difference and bring good change to our nation.'  I don't even want to listen to the rhetoric and debate.  It's like comparing 2 life threatening diseases: one with an 87% mortality rate and the other with a 89% mortality rate.  How about health and wellness instead?
I fear there is nothing credible about the promises of either candidate.  I'm waiting for one of them to promise adequate rain in season, crops in abundance, and an absence of damaging storms.  What?  You say that they can't do that?  Really?  Oh, for that you must petition God.  But for the economy that has spiraled out of control, for health and well-being, for jobs and houses, we don't need God, we need a 'great leader.'
I would also like a 'great leader,' but I think I interpret that much differently than the majority of people about me at election time.  A great leader must give and ask for sacrifice at times.  A great leader understands the true issues that face our country and not just the surface problems and hype that can get them into office.  A great leader understands the true effect of their actions and looks to the long and short of caring about the country, not the political party and where it wants to go in 4 more years.  That's stupid.  It really is.
I have seriously wondered if Christian people would just begin to band together, honor God, and pray about the real issues, it might not have a much greater effect on our country than any election.  If we set a specific time and some specific goals for prayer and honestly gave ourself to that with a pure heart, could we fix the economy, etc.?  But then if we did, if we could, in four years the incumbent would be waving banners and claiming great success for his brilliant service, skill, and ideology.
Yes, I will vote.  But, unless something changes, -nothing will change.  I will vote for the lesser of two evils.
