In the history of our country, we have faced many perilous times, and today is no exception. It seems that our leaders might need a prayer which was prayed around 1957 by the Chaplain of the Senate, Peter Marshall. It seems appropriate to share that prayer today.
God of our fathers in Whom we trust and by Whose guidance and grace this nation was born, bless these Senators of the United States at this important time in history and give them all things needful to the faithful discharge of their responsibilities.
We pray especially today for our President, and also for him who will preside over this chamber.
Give to them good health for the physical strains of their office, good judgment for the decisions they must make, wisdom beyond their own, and clear understanding for the problems of this difficult hour.
We thank Thee for their humble reliance upon Thee. May they go often to the throne of grace as we commend them both to Thy loving care and Thy guiding hand.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Isn’t it remarkable that a prayer prayed over sixty years ago could be so relevant today??
Amen! God Bless the USA!
