Our Father,
You are our God and our King. There is none like you. We bless you and praise your name forever and ever.
We confess our sin in looking to men to save us from ourselves and each other. As you forgive us, we forgive each other for the harm we inflict in the name of justice and government and even religion.
Guide our new leader to choose your ways. Influence his heart with your Word. Bless his work with purpose and integrity. Protect his family with your hand and ours.
We thank you for our freedom, regardless of our politics. We thank you for our blessings, regardless of our economy. We thank you for your love, regardless of our failings.
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen
