We pray for people who bear the burdens
Of
responsibility,
having power over other people's lives.
God give them
wisdom,
And the strength to do what they need to do.
We pray for people
who face the temptations
Of having power and influence.
Help them be
honest and merciful.
And, for all their high positions,
They are human
like us:
Let them know they are not alone,
In the long night-time of
decision.
And by your grace,
Let them be loved and loving.
