Government
Lord God you have set us in communities small and large, each one requiring leadership and governance. We pray for all involved in politics, whether as members of political parties, or as servants of the crown working in Parliaments and National Assemblies, Regulatory Agencies, Civil Administration, Inland Revenue and Taxation. Guide them as they propose, debate and implement legislation. Inspire them with wisdom and humility as they represent us in the councils of the nations. May they have an eye for detail as well as a grasp of the big principles. Protect them from the lure of the starring role, the banks of microphones and the flashing lights. In government and in opposition may they be careful for the common good, justly balancing rights, responsibilities and duties.
