Prayer for Leadership
Give us O God,
leaders whose hearts are large enough
to match the breadth of our own souls
and give us souls strong enough
to follow leaders of vision and wisdom

In seeking a leader, let us seek
more than development for ourselves—
though development we hope for
more than security for our own land—
though security we need—
more than satisfaction for our wants—
though many things we desire.

Give us the hearts to choose the leader
who will work with other leaders
to bring safety
to the whole world.

Give us leaders
who lead this nation to virtue
without seeking to impose our kind of virtue
on the virtue of others.

Give us a government that provides for the advancement
of this country
without taking resources from others
to achieve it.

Election Day
As you know, tomorrow is Election Day and we would like to encourage everyone to vote. As reported in the media the voting stations could be very busy. Some of us may prefer to vote in the morning but are concerned about getting to work on time. If you come to work wearing an “I voted” sticker and are a few minutes late, we will patriotically look the other way.
