Prayer for leaders and @HillaryClinton

From FB “Methodists For Hillary

This prayer was crafted from Hillary Clinton’s own words when she was asked for whom and what she prays.

Merciful God of grace and solace, 
source of all hope and wisdom,
we humbly come to You in prayer
for our nation, our people, and our leaders.
We ask Your guidance and patience
as we seek to serve Your lambs 
and in everything to honor Your will.

We pray for those whose names You know,
for people experiencing difficult times,
illness, divorce, death, disappointment,
all of the tough life experiences confronting us.
We pray for the Your will to be known…
that we can, to the best of our ability,
try to follow it and fulfill it, in Your name.
We pray for people in authority.
Help us to consider what they go through,
even when we disagree with them.
Help us find some common ground,
some common understanding
that can make us more empathetic.
We know we won't always succeed,
but let us never fail to try.

Hold Hillary’s heart always
in prayer throughout the day,
because she needs Your strength
and she needs Your support.
Thank you for giving her ears to listen
and a heart and mind to serve
the needs of the people, Your lambs,
to be a leader guided by Your will
in our country and the world.
Protect Hillary from danger
both physical and existential
Help her keep Your will in humility
and empower her to serve Your will
in gratitude and perseverance
All the days of her life.

In Christ’s name, Amen.

Prayer for Our Leaders and Hillary and for Us All

Heavenly Father, God of grace and mercy,

By the great gift of Salvation and His resurrection 

You offer the gifts of eternal hope and peace
Through Your only begotten son, Christ Jesus.
Baptized by water, we are born anew… 

Born into Your heavenly kingdom.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, we are never alone.

In the Spirit, together we strive to do Your will.

Hold us, our nation, and Hillary in Your hands.

Make us the body and voice of Your will.

Together in the Spirit, we open our hearts.

We lay bear our souls before You, Father.

As one in the Spirit, we open our minds.

Together we are Christ’s hands in this world.

United in the Spirit, our doors are open.

In Your will we work together for peace.

As one voice we desire your will be done.

Together in the Holy Spirit and in unity

We know Your strength makes us 

Stronger together for a more just world.

Help us, Lord, to feed the hungry.

Teach us, Father, to care for the sick.

Guide us, God, to shelter the homeless.

Use us, El-Shaddai, to love everyone.

Humble us, Adoni, to find Your wisdom.

Grant us, Yaweh, solace in our tribulation.

Make us, Elohim, obedient in service.

Lead us, Sar Shalom, to be peacemakers.

King of Kings, grant wisdom to our leaders

With sacrificial hearts of service and compassion.

We ask for open eyes for our leaders 

to see all humankind as Your sheep.

We pray for leaders with open hearts

to understand the cares of Your lambs. 

We plead that our leaders have open minds

of love and compassion for all Your sheep.

We thank you for Hillary Clinton, and pray

You will protect and perfect her in Your will.

In Christ’s name, with Faith all believing and

in humble gratitude, we pray. Amen.
