Oh God, you have been our help in
ages past, and you are our hope for the years to come. You have shown us what
is good and have revealed what you require of us: to act justly, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with you, our God. May we never forget in the midst of our
political squabbles, our search for political presence, our grasp for political
power, that truth, justice, equality, and opportunity provide the bedrock for
our nation and the best foundation for our future. Teach us, oh Lord, not to
strive for personal gain, for political power, or special privilege; but guide
us on a path where all we do establishes freedom, justice, and fair opportunity
for all people. Guard our nation from those plutocrats who by their wealth and special
privilege would disproportionally influence and control our government. Lift up
ethical men and women of moral commitment to guide and lead us. Bless us all
with a moral compass that will direct and shape our futures. Fill our hearts
with love, compassion, hope, and aspirations for a better future; and bless
this time we share together as an opportunity for rediscovering our values,
reorienting our directions, and renewing our commitments. We praise you, O God,
and beseech your benediction. Amen
