Prayer for our nation's leaders

Dear Lord,

     Tonight we join together in prayer for our nation and our nation's leaders.  We ask that You help whomever is elected to public office remember who it is that they are working for, and the duties of the office they hold.  We ask that You help them perform the duties of their office with honesty, integrity, and humility.  We ask that You protect them from harm.  And that You guide them through their every decision.  Please give us a leader who does and will put You first in everything they do - and every decision they make.  Help them make a firm stand for what is right - right morals, right values, and right judgments.  Encourage them in their position as they stand for what is right.  And correct them when they are wrong.  Please help this country and nation return to the faith-based, family-oriented values that it once held!  We love You Lord Jesus!  As always, our hope is in You.

Amen
