Reverend Lisa Wink Schultz
Lord, You are the God of all compassion. Just as a father has compassion on his children, You have compassion on all who fear You. May all who work in the House of Representatives truly fear You, for this is the whole duty of man.
We praise You for being slow to anger and abounding in love. You do not treat us as we deserve. During this Lenten season, make us keenly aware that we are like grass, which flourishes like the flowers of the field, but when the wind blows, it is gone and never to be remembered.
Give wisdom and strength to our lawmakers as they work for righteousness and justice, especially for the oppressed. Satisfy them with Your love so that their youth is renewed like the eagles.
We pray in Your loving name. Amen.
Psalm 103P
