Almighty and Most Merciful God, Our Heavenly Father,

All power and authority comes from You,

You establish order, justice, and peace through civil government.

I am apprehensive about the future, when there is so much uncertainty about the peace and safety of our nation.

I’m worried about all the divisions that politics can cause between our communities and families.

I am tired of the constant fighting and arguing that happens over politics. 

I pray that You would bless all of our elected and appointed officials with Your wisdom

I pray that You would calm our hearts and minds.

I pray that You would heal our divisions and repair what is broken.

I pray that You would forgive my sins, especially where I have been part of the problem and not the solution. Forgive me for letting the outside world disrupt the peace of my own home. 

I pray that You would bring peace, justice, and prosperity to a nation deeply divided and struggling.

Into Your hands I commend myself, my family, friends, neighbors, and especially the nation in which we live,

That we may serve You without fear and care for our families in peace and security. Amen.
