PRAYER FOR INDEPENDENCE DAY

The United Methodist Book of Worship #442

Almighty God, you rule all the peoples of the earth. Inspire the minds of all people to whom you have committed the responsibility of government and leadership in the nations of the world. Give to them the vision of truth and justice, that by their counsel all nations and peoples may work together. Give to the people of our country zeal for justice and strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with your gracious will. Forgive our shortcomings as a nation; purify our hearts to see and love the truth. We pray all these things through Jesus Christ. Amen.
