Lord, make our love increase. In the face of the trials and testing which we inevitably encounter, let our faith enable us to stand firm and united, and may the overflow of our mutual love strengthen us to work toward the common good of our communities and our country.
Strengthen our hearts that we will withstand all that dares to divide and distract us from working together despite our differences. Rather, may our unique gifts and our varied perspectives be used to build up this body in its service both to this nation and to you.
May we strive for wholeness and holiness, that we may appear blameless in your presence.
In the sure hope of the perfection that is ours when we pray in your name, we offer our selves to you this day.
1 Thessalonians 3:3, 12–13
Fear God in the true sense of the word means to love God, respect God, honor God, and all of this can only be done by loving your neighbor, treating him justly and mercifully, and in all ways endeavoring to protect him from injustice and cruelty, thus obeying, as far as our human frailty will permit, the great immutable law of righteousness.
—Theodore Roosevelt
