How do we pray for our country and our leaders? Here's a prayer, somewhat formal, I must admit, but it was for publication in a collection of prayers the VFW was gathering for publication. My cousin was a member of the group and requested I write a couple prayers for her to submit. Don't know if the prayers were ever published or not.
Father God, creator of the universe and all mankind, we offer heartfelt gratitude for Thy many blessings which are new every day.
Thou hast set men in positions of authority; and we, in turn would ask Thee to smile upon such with wisdom, blessing and honor.
Grant to them mercy and knowledge and an inclination to seek Thy favor as they make decisions that will affect the lives of those living under their authority.
Grant to us, O Lord, and to our fellowmen, the strength and courage to support and uphold those who rule over this glorious nation of ours.
May the flag of freedom continue to fly unblemished and unconquered as a symbol of truth, equality and freedom for all peoples.
May the spirit of the God of all ages rest upon mankind everywhere so that we may ascribe honor, glory, and power unto Thee, the Almighty God, forever and ever.
Amen.
