For those Serving in our Government
Mighty Lord,
Grant wisdom to all who serve in all areas of our government. As they conduct their daily business, surround them with an abundance of wise counsel. In striving to carry out the will of those they represent, they are often tasked with the challenge of satisfying those who hold opposing wishes. Where compromise is possible and prudent, lead them to seek it. Guard them from personal agendas or outside interests which seek to influence their decision making. Help them to manage their time well, being protective of their marriage and family needs. Protect their reputations from slander, gossip, and mudslinging, and keep them from being responsible for it. Bless them in their faithful service, and make them a blessing to those they represent.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
