Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin
Lord of the Heavens, ever Faithful to Earth, You alone see every thing through the prism of time. Before You the present moment is still; it contains the crystal of the past and the seed of the future. Help those in government of this nation to be discerning leaders for us in today's world.
Because we think of ourselves as being free people, Lord, we often deceive ourselves. Sometimes we fail to realize the pressures that push us to hasty decisions. Not truly free of inner compulsions, innate insecurity, and unnoticed external demands, we become paralyzed or inhibited in our advancements.
We need Your saving power, if we are to truly act as Your free children, Heavenly Father. We therefore choose to be Yours now and forever.
Amen.
