Prayers For Our Country

“Show us your ways O Lord . . . “ (Ps. 25 v. 4-5)

You have shown us a better way Lord. A way of

• compassion,
• love,
• mercy,
• forgiveness,
• generosity,
• patience,
• kindness, and
• self-control.

And you have shown us the way we should not go. A way of

• factions,
• hate,
• oppression,
• anger,
• fear,
• self-absorption,
• death, and
• destruction.

Forgive our missteps and misdirection, and guide us into the better way.

Amen
