Prayer for America, November 9, 2020

When victory brings a leader with integrity and intent,

It brings hope of action into the fading light,

And dispels the hatred and anger of the night

A leader who will right the many wrongs, undo the havoc and

End the chaos, call for healing and making peace,

So enemies can be reconciled and happiness increase.

Let calm and harmony come to tame the waves and stormy sea,

Lord let the power of your presence truly be.

More love in a loveless land to bring unity and end exclusion and racist crime.

Let the leader bring peace and justice in due time.

May the healing now begin, and end the widespread sin,

With equality and respect, let dignity grow,

Like the flowers in a garden where the pure waters flow.

Inspire us all to protect the vulnerable and grow back trust

Bring honor to a nation damaged but soon to be renewed

And life again in the community of nations approved.

Amen
