Our dearest and most gracious Heavenly Father, I thank You for the opportunity to come today and pray in the Capital of our government, Father, that You set apart many years ago. I pray today, Father, for our leaders, our president, our congressmen, and our senators, that, Father, we will, as people, submit to the authority and pray for them as You commanded in 1 Peter and in Romans. Father, they deserve all honor and glory. And I pray for their wisdom, their strength, and their discernment, Father, to lead us in a way that honors and glorifies You.
Father, bless this time together, that You give them complete wisdom and earnest desire to glorify You, Father, the Lord of the universe, the Lord of all creation, and the Lord over this nation.
These things we pray in Your most precious Heavenly Son's name, the almighty name of Jesus. Amen.
If I be bound to pray for all that be in distress, surely I am bound, so far as it is in my power, to practice what I pray for.
—George Herbert
