Civic Leaders
Almighty God,
You are over all nations and all leaders,
We pray for the civic leaders of our communities,
our city, and our country.
We pray for those who serve and lead in public
positions of trust,
We pray for our President, our Governor, and our Mayor.
May they lead with integrity and promote
the dignity of all people.
We pray for those who serve and lead in
our State and National Congress.
May they legislate with both courage and compassion,
Not looking to their own interest,
but to the interest of others.
We pray for those who serve and lead
in the courts at every level.
Grant them wisdom in the difficult decisions they must make.
May they do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly.
We pray for those who serve and lead in our city and county.
May the weight and responsibility of their work,
Be upheld by the beauty and levity of Your grace.
We pray for those who serve and lead in our community and neighborhood.
May their work be seen as valuable and integral,
May they be courageous and selfless as they serve others.
We pray for the civic leaders of our communities,
our city, and our country.
May their own sense of being the beloved,
Come not from the position, title, or authority they may hold,
But because they are created in Your image
And, as Your daughters and sons,
They are the delight of Your eye.
Amen.
