On this National Day of Prayer for our nation, we gather with our family and friends to discuss important national issues, and then join in communal prayer for wisdom, prudence, and right judgment enlightened not by our political views, but influenced by our religious views.
Let us pray...
Good and gracious God,
You are a God of justice and mercy.
Enlighten our minds to choose what is right in your eyes
and grant us the wisdom to acknowledge what is right.
Enlighten our lives with the fire of your love
and strengthen us to work for the common good and not our individual needs.
For it is through your goodness that we have all we need
to do your will in our nation.
We ask all this, in and through the name of Jesus,
your Son who lives with you and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
