Psalm 72

Offer your wisdom to our leaders, O God,
Help them know your compassion and your justice,
to offer support to the poor,
and inspire generosity in the wealthy,
to offer care and healing to the sick.
Give the courage to break down systems of injustice
and rebuild a world on the foundation of equity.

Offer you wisdom to leaders all around the world.
Where officials are elected,
help us to choose leaders who will follow your path.
Where leaders are born into there role,
inspire them to follow a path of wisdom and love.
Help every person in every nation to know your love
and to live lives free of fear and tyranny.

God, you reveal yourself to us in many different ways;
Through different religions and schools of thought;
Help our leaders and policy makers know and follow you
in whatever way holds meaning for them.
