A Prayer For Our Nation

Gracious and loving God, we come to you in humble prayer for the United States of America

Bless our President.  Give him wisdom and strength to serve the American people

and lead our country in ways that are pleasing to you.

Bless our Congress.  Instill in them knowledge and understanding to enact laws that

protect the sanctity of life-from unborn to the elderly:  and promote the good of all people

Bless the people of the United States.  Make us aware of our responsibility as citizens to uphold the

principles of life, liberty, justice and equality.  Send your Holy Spirit upon our beloved country.  Make us

people of faith in time of uncertainty.  Make us people of hope in times of trouble.  Make us people of

compassion with those who are less fortunate.  Make us people of peace in our homes, our communities,

our country, and our world.  We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.  Amen
