Almighty God, you rule all the peoples of the earth. Give to our leaders the vision of truth and justice, that by their counsel all nations and peoples may work together. Give to the people of our country zeal for justice and strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with your gracious will. Forgive our shortcomings as a nation; purify our hearts to see and love the trust. We pray all these things through Jesus Christ. Amen.
