Prayer for America 08/22/05

Godspeed Gennaro

Father, today we pray for the leaders of our country.

Please, God, grant them

humility as they fill the role of civil servant,

integrity as they represent the people of their constituencies,

honesty as they deal with other leaders,

compassion as they work for citizens with critical needs,

vision as they look ahead to what this country can be and can do.

God, we know their jobs are difficult. We know they face tough decisions on a regular basis. Protect their minds, their hearts, and their souls. Thank you for the role they play in this country. Guide them in the directions that will prove best for everyone. Amen.
