God, from the birth of our country leaders have recognized the power in calling upon Your name. They, at times, felt strongly enough about your importance that they've claimed trust in You on our currency, engraved Your words into stone and plaques, recognize You in the writings of patriotic songs, and placed our country under Your authority as recited in The Pledge of Allegiance. I pray our leaders hear Your words throughout the city of Washington. I pray believers in the role of leadership over our land would claim Your truth publicly and stand boldly under Your authority in our capital. You are great and mighty, save us from our timidity, our fear of offending. Help us live our lives in such a way that Your goodness and wisdom spreads contagiously to those around us. Empower those you've placed in authority to act on Your standards and values, to lead this country listening to your voice. May Your words bring encouragement and life and restoration to this country. Be present here, in Washington and throughout this nation.
Amen.
