A Prayer For Our Nation

Almighty God, bestow your grace upon our nation and all who are in authority.  Cause your glory to dwell among us, and let your mercy and truth, righteousness and peace revail.  We especially pray for our children, that they might be protected from all the violence and drug usage and abuse that they are subjected to.  Bless all of us as in our daily lives we seek to work for peace and harmony in our lives and that of our neighbors.  In Jesus' Name we pray.  Amen.
