God of all nations,
Father of the human family,
we give you thanks for the freedom
we exercise and the many blessings
of democracy we enjoy in these
United States of America.
We ask for your protection and guidance
for all who devote themselves to the
common good, working for justice and
peace at home and around the world.
We lift up all our duly elected leaders
and public servants, those who will
serve us as president, as legislators
and judges, those in the military
and law enforcement.
Heal us from our differences and
unite us, O Lord, with a common
purpose, dedication, and
commitment to achieve liberty and
justice in the years ahead for all people,
and especially those who are
most vulnerable in our midst. Amen.
