Prayer List
You creator God
who has ordered us
in families and communities,
in clans and tribes,
in states and nations.
You creator God
who enact your governance
in ways overt and
in ways hidden.
You exercise your will for
peace and for justice and for
freedom.
We give thanks for the peaceable order
of our nation and for the chance of choosing--
all the manipulative money not withstanding.
We pray for new governance
that your will and purpose may prevail,
that our leaders may have a sense
of justice and goodness,
that we as citizens may care about the
public face of our purpose.
We pray in the name of Jesus
who was executed by the authorities.
