Grant us, we pray, a full understanding
of Thy will for us. Help us to realize that
the wisdom of God is greater than the
foolishness of man. But as we seek Thy will
through Thy holy spirit we shall know
what Thy mind is.
We thank Thee for this State, for her
leaders, for all who rule and are in au-
thority this day. We pray Thy special
blessings in these moments upon our Presi-
dent, upon our Governor, upon all leaders
of office — national, State, and local.
Be Thee present, Our Father, in our
minds this day. Help us to know that Thou
art here and that as we rely upon Thee,
Thou will show us Thy perfect will.
We ask in the name of our Lord, and for
His sake.
Amen.
