Prayer for America 10/15/05

Father, on this new day, be with the men and women who govern our nation. Give them wisdom as they make decisions. Give them discernment as they debate issues. Give them integrity as they deal with one another. Give them honesty as they deal with the public. Give them courage as they deal with other nations. the burdens and responsibilities they bear are greater than we realize. We are quick to criticize them and slow to thank them. But their roles in our lives is critical as they preserve-centered government. Bless and guide them as they serve the people of America. Amen.
