A Prayer For Universal Good, Prayer for the day December 27
Father, in Heaven You are Lord of all
May You watch over mankind with patience,
Give me strength to overcome all evil,
Help me to cleave to those things which are good.
Help me shine Your light by noble deeds
So men may see them and give You worship.
Bless those who toil humbly in Your name,
And bless all who serve Your kingdom of love.
Give more laborers a vision to serve,
Bless the many efforts by those of faith.
Favor our nation and those who guide it.
Give our leaders rare virtue and wisdom,
And add to their hearts courage to do right,
Grant them vision for the best of our land;
Help them to promote righteousness at home,
And set a standard of virtue for all.
Watch over all the nations of the earth,
May their statesmen be fountains of blessing,
Bring peace and harmony to all nations.
Let the knowledge of the Lord fill the earth.
May all men have freedom to worship God.
And to live lives of peace, and to prosper.
May each heart bow to the Prince of Peace,
And every hand serve Christ- the King of Kings.
