Prayer for July 4th Lord of All, As we celebrate another Independence Day, we confess our dependence on you. Thank you for extending abundance, mercy, and protection to our nation through the years. Every resource, freedom, and opportunity we have is a good gift from you. Without you, we are lost. Pour out your Holy Spirit on those who govern our land, Leaders of our nation, our state, and our community and all who are running for office. Grant them a love of justice. Open their minds with wisdom and compassion, so that all people may be treated fairly and with dignity. Open their ears to the cries of the desperate and powerless so cycles of poverty, disease, and abuse may be broken. Open their eyes to see how best to respond and open their hearts with courage to do the right thing, even when pressured to do otherwise. Dawn a new day of integrity and servant leadership upon our land. Shower down your Spirit of collaboration for the common good that there may be lasting peace and plenty for all. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Leader and Savior forever. Amen.
