Remind us, Lord,
to make our requests –
our prayers,
intercession,
and thanksgiving –
for everyone,
including our leaders
and all those in authority,
so we may live
peaceful,
quiet,
godly,
holy lives.
Surely this pleases You,
God our Savior,
for You want everyone
to be saved
and come to know
the truth in You.
You alone are God,
and we have One
mediator between You
and other people –
the One, Christ Jesus,
Who gave Himself
as a ransom for us
and everyone.
from the Book of Bible Prayers
