A Prayer for a New President

God of all nations,

Creator of the human family,

we give you thanks for the freedom we exercise

and the many blessings of democracy

in our country.

We ask for your protection and guidance

for all who devote themselves to the common good,

working for justice and peace at home and around the world.

We lift up all our duly elected leaders and public servants,

those who will serve us as President, Vice-President and their administration.

Let them, with us, move forward with a common purpose, dedication, and commitment to achieve liberty and justice,

health and safety,

for all people,

and especially those who are most vulnerable in our midst.

Amen.
