Amen to that.
Another prayer:
God of truth and light,
in your sight nations rise and fall,
and pass through times of peril.
Now when our land is troubled,
be near to strenthen and save.
May leaders be led by your wisdom;
may they search your will and see it clearly.
Forgive us for the ways we have turned from your way,
open our eyes to our wrongs and help us to reverse our ways and repent.
Give us your light and your truth to guide us;
especially be with our leaders as they struggle with the immigration issue,
and may your will be done.
We ask your protection, guidance and healing,
this day and always,
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord and our Savior. Amen.
Heavenly Father, we give thanks for the democracy alive in our country and for the freedom to worship You. Help the elected government and all in positions of power and authority to govern wisely and for the common good of all.
At this time when the country feels ripped apart from the inside and the threat from outside seems so strong, be with those who are working to protect us, and guide the hands of those with the authority to make decisions.
In the name of Jesus we ask this, O Father God, Amen.
